However, it is often a chore to get it to connect and it has become very annoying. When it works, it's full USB 3.0 speed and I am satisfied. Sometimes a reboot fixes it and sometimes if I unplug and plug it back in a few times it works. But there you go.Driver: Latest USB Fresco 3.0 driver from ġ) If I plug it into any of the USB 2.0 drives it works fine (at 2.0 speeds).Ģ) If I plug any USB 2.0 device into my USB 3.0 port, they work fine as well.ģ) However, if I plug my USB 3.0 drive into my USB 3.0 port it works maybe 25% of the time. It wasn't an issue with PCIe cards, so something funky was going on - maybe in a PCI->PCIe translation bridge. At that point, the card would misreport its PCI ID, the OS would say, "uh, I see a wireless card, but there aren't any drivers for it," and if you tried to point manually to the driver the OS would say, "man, you're crazy, I don't even know what you're talking about." Fully powering the system down, waiting a few seconds, and turning it back on again would resolve the problem. On certain PCI wireless NICs with an Atheros chipset, the card would work flawlessly until rebooting. I had a defective FM2+ motherboard I nursed along for a few months - bad DIMM slot, occasionally liked to ramp the CPU voltage to stupid-high levels for no reason - but I remember one widely reported issue. Did have a motherboard issue, which was AsRock (.) but no problems with my ASmedia kit over the years either. Has AMD ever not had chipset issues? I honestly don't think anyone could say that they haven't. X79 had its SAS ports removed (this could just be Intel market segmentation at work) but even the C606 version of the same chip reduced the SAS speed down to 3 Gbit.Įarly versions of the Z87 chipset have a unique USB 3.0 bug. X58 and the server 5500 series chipset have a virtualization bug that'll cause IO devices to disappear in rare instances. There are a couple of other recent examples. The most recent critical issue is the first-generation 6 series and their defective SATA controller on PCH that were recalled. Intel chipsets haven't been problem free either throughout their long history. Nowadays its usually just inferior SATA/RAID/USB performance as opposed to outright instability, so that's an improvement but it's still yet another deficiency compared to the competition. Even the 3rd party chipsets from Nvidia which I tried still had these problems (NF4 RAID corruption specifically). Since that chipset was provided by Intel, the system ran flawlessly! Everything from K7 onwards that I have tried had some kind of issue with instability or lesser I/O performance than an Intel counterpart.
I've been using AMD CPUs dating back to the 486 days, when AMD launched a cheap Pentium competitor that was Socket 7 compatible.
