oooo that's neat!
Your advice please, custom build from OCUK arrived yesterday but one issue :
- Thread starter Sharpy_1
- Start date
I never use WiFi on my computers. It's not as reliable as a wired connection so cost or what year it is would be irrelevant for me. I'm sure if it was a requirement, the nice people on here would have recommended a motherboard with WiFi
Glad you got everything sorted

My board has Wifi but I do not need or want it but got the board due to it being a good price.
As others have said, if it was essential it should have been said and you should never assume anything when asking for assistance from random people on a forum.
hope the dongle sorts out the issue

Spoke too soon, connection keeps dropping out which is infuriating.
Also, installed wow classic and every time I go to launch it, it crashes.
Pulling my hair out here. Windows update all complete along with GPUT drivers
You know the noise when you plug and uplug a usb, that’s happening but think it’s signifying the internet connection dropping.
So stressful
- not only will it not connect to the net, it’s crashing every time I run wow.

That indicates that an USB device has been disconnected and reconnected.
When this happens does the adaptor disappear and re appear in device manager?
As its USB it might be worth disabling USB selective suspend from Windows power plan to make sure its not disconnecting due to power saving.

I don't think they are at fault at all. I think its just a case of should have ordered the MB which supports wi-fi and looks like it's an AMD driver issue with WoW.
i've not heard of any radeon driver issues with wow, what issues are you having?

He opened a different thread for it:
New gaming PC but classic wow crashing every time
Hello guys, I got a new PC today with a AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. I have updated the drivers using their adrenaline software and have also completed all windows apps. When I go to run WOW I reach the photosensitivity warning page and it says press any button to proceed. When i press any button...

these are great, they use your home wiring to transmit broadband from the router to a plug somewhere else in the house
even if they are plugged into different rings, my son has one upstairs for more stable connectivity than wifi and gets about the same speed, and ping as me , plugged right into the router .downstairs
not exactly cheap, but brilliant none-the-less
ours came with an ethernet cable long enough to connect the transmitting plug in a socket closest to the router, so you don't need to buy an extra lead for the router end, but you will need a ethenet cable long enough to reach from your computer to the nearest free socket,

The motherboard also doesn't support bluetooth. More bad news given my headsets work via bluetooth
Honestly, I'd rather just order another motherboard and get everything fitted again but it this even a viable option with the CPU already in place please?
An bit of a disaster this, £1900 spent - no bluetooth, no wi-fi and can't play World of Warcraft which was pretty much the main objective of building this new PC.
Thank you @Threepwood
I guess it would be cheaper to buy this and a wired headset than getting a new motherboard and paying someone to install the hardware all over again.
EDIT - I use the Hyper X Cloud 3 as my headset which has a mic on it and connects via USB (not bluebooth) so not the end of the world
Using the dongle, I am currently getting 167.03 download Mbps and 26.32 upload which is pretty good right? Thank God for @ED-209 for suggesting disabling USB selective suspend from Windows power plan othersiwe I think I think I'd have lost all my hair by now.

Dude, can I humbly suggest that you slow down a bit and let us actually try to resolve each issue one-by-one?
Rushing about is just causing more expense and more frustration!
Bluetooth: this could have been addressed earlier, if you had let us know that you needed it.
The PCIE cards that I've suggested to you in this thread, ALL support bluetooth, subject to having a free USB2 header on the motherboard (* see my earlier post below).
To be clear: if you decide to go this route, this is something that would need to be checked before purchase.
I have zero motherboards in my house with wifi/bluetooth, yet all of the PCs have wifi/bluetooth, thanks to a PCI-E card. This is a resolvable problem and doesn't need the PC sent back.
There are lots of users of AMD cards playing WoW (I have even done so myself), so I expect this should be something we can fix.
I did call your attention to this as a potential issue in your build thread:

USB wifi sticks (at least, the cheaper ones) often only support wifi, unless otherwise specified in their description.

You made another thread for this issue right? How's that going?

Thanks for your thorough reply and you're correct, all of these issues and solvable.
Given I use the headset listed above and it works via USB adaapter, the bluetooth 'issue' is on longer an issue.
With the wifi, like you say, can fix with a card (and I will do so) but right now the dongle is working well as a temporary measure.
So really, the only thing I need to focus on solving is WOW which I am going to go back to the drawing board on and try and find a solution.
You did indeed flag that AMD has some issues with WOW but I went for this card over the 5070 due to better performance reports, guess I was just hoping that I'd be lucky and not have any issues playing a 20 year old game with a £600 GPU
Also, I downloaded CSS and it runs fine.

Cool.
Alright, I thought you said that it was disconnecting or something like that? Maybe I was mixing it up with another thread.
I had a look at the thread and I don't think you have updated it yet? Let us know if you've worked through the solutions and we'll get on it.
There MUST be a lot of other AMD 9000 users in the same situation, so I'd be boggled if there isn't a fix already.
That said, is it important to mention that this is WoW classic? I don't know how much of the code base is shared between this and regular WoW, which could be an issue with both newer cards and identifying appropriate fixes?
The USB was indeed disconnecting but that seems to have been fixed by disabling the USB selective suspend from Windows power plan.
This is indeed wow classic, the other one is called retail. I have nco interest in retail but let me try an install that and see if I have the same issue.

I was having a little read and I noticed that there were separate threads for crashing at character select.
I wonder if you're actually experiencing two issues, the first was solved by the driver changes, but what you're experiencing now could be a different one.
See this thread for more:
Game crashes after character selection
Hey all, We are aware of an issue which is causing WoW to crash silently to the desktop with no error message. It’s being investigated by our QA team and WoW developers, so we hope to have a hotfix or update to share soon. Thank you to those that have found and have been sharing the SET...

The above ^^ might not be your issue, since it was supposed to have been resolved, but still, worth considering the theory that you may have two separate problems.
