FlyToha reports lags & freezes on MSI TRX40 wifi:

I think this might possibly be the HAL timer issue (XP has the same problem) but never got the WinTimerTester results back so I don’t know for sure.

So, as i understand TRX40 is working, but with noticable issues and perform much worser than x570?

@spacedrone808

x570 can have the same timer issue too (luck of the draw really, seems random), so it’s best to use a patch.

FlyToha reported freezes on 3960x, even with patch applied.

@spacedrone808

I didn’t know Flytoha had tried a patch.

edit:
looking at his post history I don’t see any indication he tried a patch.

It looks like i’ve mistaken. Thanks for correction!

Sorry for the question, maybe has been answered dozens of times…
I already have an installation with a MSI B450A Plus Max with 5600X and works fine.
I would like to go for a TRX40 maintaining the same installation, should it be possible? Can I download somewhere a driverpack to feed Windows with new drivers for TRX40?
Plus, where I can find this ACPI modded driver and where should I put it?
Thank you so much

Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Pro WiFi (rev. 1.0) also works with Windows 7. My current stats:

  • BIOS revision F6
  • Use @canonkong 's install.wim image which includes a modded ACPI.SYS
  • Before installation, update Realtek USB Audio driver to version 6.3.9600.2369 (otherwise you’d get a nasty 7E BSOD: rtusba64.2347.sys during installation)
  • The easiest way to create an installation ISO is to drop-replace the updated install.wim at a Windows 10 install ISO.

Drivers are already updated, you can try them.
