For items received on thread URL: https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/return-pif-lg-g6-netgear-wg102-ap.453572/
Item: B450 Aorus Elite Motherboard
Age: Roughly 2.5 years (Not first owner)
Warranty: Should be about 6 months left
Condition: Okay so just a bit of information this motherboard is very picky with which CPU and ram combo you use. I bought it off carb a while back but it didn't like the combo - I did contact the seller and he'd had a similar issue and RMA'd it with Wootware who confirmed that the board was working with supported components. It was more cost-effective to just pick up another board so this one has just been laying about, but if the new owner does have a problem it should still be under warranty.
Location: Parktown Johannesburg
Shipping: Not too keen

just a Q, did you check for BIOS upgrades...i had the similar issue with X470 Gaming and a 3600 r5....upgraded the bios and the issues was resolved, also must check the ram is fully compatible on the xmp profile and supported modules list....

2nd Edit I see Breezy undibsed
No dibs, so @Switch is 1st in line

2nd Edit I see Breezy undibsed
dibs depending on repif value as well

Upstream pif was an LG smartphone with seemingly minor/moderate damage and wifi AP, so I would hazard a guess of around R1.5k to R2k on pif value.

Oh and also 2nd dibs while I'm at it.

Nice PIF, only question. What were you using that it didn't like and what did you use that it liked?

Hi all, sorry for the delay in updating the thread, just got a little caught up with exams 😅. The board is presently on its way to @orange_jo0se and I will close when its received. And just to answer the question in the thread I used a 3200g and some generic ram from Matrix that I bought as I had no DDR4 and was in a bit of a pinch... as far as I could tell the ram was the issue.
