Yep. Replacing broken parts that are readily available and with a system that is a dream to work on really is another world.

The down side is I tinker and upgrade parts all the time when something comes out now because I can…

I know what the RMA batch says, but you can basically ignore it. I was a batch 2 order, had a board get damaged in shipping (FedEx literally crunched the box). The replacement order form the RMA said batch 9 and shipped within a day. It’s the holidays, give it a day or so and it should ship out.

Great drive for the system, especially at their current prices.

Make sure you update the firmware with the Samsung Magician software. There was a bug from release that was problematic. Most inventory now should be well past it but better safe than sorry.

Don’t get the heat sink, you’ll literally just take it off and throw it away.

 

I already submitted a support ticket for this, but I was curious to see if anyone else ran into this problem:

Just received my AMD board order, and the board swap went great, except for I cannot get the new Wi-Fi card to work properly (or the old AX210 I was using either). I had already installed the Wi-Fi driver per the instructions on the support page, and I installed the full driver bundle once the board was swapped, and while Bluetooth connections work just fine, the Wi-Fi adapter is nowhere to be found. It doesn't appear in the Network Connetions control panel, it doesn't appear at all in the Device Manager. There was some visible damage to the RZ616 card in shipping (I can provide pictures as needed) in that the metal shielding on top of the card was dented slightly, so I swapped back in the Intel AX210 I was using previously, as other users have stated that they have that card working as well. Same results: Bluetooth works just fine, but no Wi-Fi adapter is present anywhere.

At this point, I wondered if it was software. I have tried a clean Windows 11 install with the driver bundle, and I have tried a Debian install as well. Same results. Any other steps I should take?

A bit stumped other than maybe the board I got was DOA for wi-fi? Wired network adapters work fine.
