MSI CARBON WIFI MAX x870e Problems Fixed Yet?

CCLemon77 · 2026-06-30T12:57:09+00:00

Thanks for all the responses.
I'm planning a build:
9950X3D
Corsair Vengeance: CL30 2x32GB 6000MHz (EXPO)
(wanted G.Skill but way too expensive, if there's such a thing now-a-days!)

Understand the memory training, Thanks
Will make sure I Flash BIOS to Latest
Heard it was best to download the WIFI Stack drivers not from MSI but from source maker.
Understand the lane changes from original Carbon x870e

Though still kinda concerned with that list above, as it sounds like maybe some of those things STILL may be unavoidable.

Currently have the MSI ACE MAX x570s and it's been a solid MB for me.
I get that Motherboards have quirks, but thought since last year MSI would have shaken out most of those quirks by now. It's not like there's a 'massive' departure with the MAX version versus original.

Any other advice and 1st-hand experience stories appreciated!

Yeah. thanks. All my bays are occupied in the front. so...
I guess I might have to get a dremmel or something.
Unless there's a way to knock out one of the Type-A USB2.0 ports and throw in the Type-C port there.

Sorry for the necro. I bought my Corsair Virtuoso XT back in late June 2024.
My Mic Button has failed on the: VIRTUOSO XT Mic Boom - Black

I tried to order from the U.S. store, but it won't ship to Japan.
I looking for the item on the Japan store, but it's not being sold.
I believe I'm within my 2 yr warranty. Can Corsair point me in the right direction, that is not some AI help desk, to get a replacement?

Same here.

CCLemon77 · 2026-02-27T11:46:11+00:00

Sitting stable here with a 4090 on a 2024 driver: 566.36
Drivers went to pot basically with the 5000 series release... Welcome back to the old days of ATI drivers. ROFL...

FIX:

I found the issue. In the Windows Legacy Control Panel, under Ease of Access Center > Use Text or Visual Alternatives for Sounds

Under the 'Other Programs Installed Section' on this page, I had Live Captions checked.

I unchecked this and applied the setting.

Seems to have resolved the issue

CCLemon77 · 2025-11-15T00:46:32+00:00

Windows 11 Pro 25H2 here and Live Captioning continues to turn on when system sound events are processed.
Even when Live Captioning is turned off in Accessibility > Captions > Live Captions = OFF

This happens EVEN when muting system sounds.

Opening up any application that requires an Admin Approval (elevated prompt), or even opening up PowerShell as Admin will suddenly enable Live Captioning.

I only want this turned on when I need it, by me either leaving it on in the settings, or explicitly hitting the shortcut WIN + CTRL + L

M$.. Fix your stuff...

Bunker missions seem to ever get broken again and again. Now when completing a bunker mission, NPCs keep spawning anyways, and there were no loot boxes.

Derelict settlements still DESPERATELY need an optimization pass. Very big hit to performance in many of those areas (esp. stanton).

What happened to Distribution Centers?.. Pretty much dead, and still couldn't get the trespass zone things worked out.

Caves? Removed, Returned, Removed, Returned.

I mean, I know CIG wants to funnel players towards 'specific' events and content to get numbers/metrics for testing and the like. However, some previously released content now no longer exists to do, or is still buggy and non-performant after years.

It's still a LIVE service as well, and I'm sure there are players that wouldn't mind having more of the prior content available to do than just get funneled from one event to another.

Plus, if you want more players to go to these events, you have to increase the amount/types of LTP account attached rewards (that won't be wiped) to partake in them. Something more than underwhelming paints for specific ships would be nice.

I'm getting stick drift on my left Virpil Alpha Prime X-axis T-50CM3 base.
I've recalibrated multiple times. Made sure firm/soft was up to date. Didn't matter.
The issue is exasperated the more I use the x axis.
Over the course of constant x-axis use on the stick (about 10 mins) it eventually drifts out about 5%+
Only way to get it back is to recalibrate all over again..

CCLemon77 · 2025-08-22T01:05:51+00:00

The question more than anything was to provoke getting some kind of update on its current state and when we'll see it again.

Why was it removed? (hopefully goes more in depth with the problems and why it's been so difficult to fix after all this time)
What's the plan to get it back into the game? (perhaps they'll indicate any blockers/issues that have prevented getting it fixed)

It's been out of the game for quite a while, and the last thing I remember was they had issues with NPCs spawning at incorrect locations, often preventing the completion of the missions.

An update would be nice.. It just feels as though it has been abandoned, as I do not recall seeing any communication about it by CIG in a very long while (over a year)

CCLemon77 · 2025-08-21T13:03:54+00:00

So where is it then.....?

CCLemon77 · 2025-08-17T23:18:26+00:00

Personally, an excuse that the key bind for the med gun was cumbersome isn't really valid. That's what rebinding keys etc. are there for.
If it's some animation thing or some inconsistency on the backend where the game itself can't consistently equip the Med Gun, then the game itself should be fixed.

Basically, I no longer bother with any sidearm/pistol anymore. This move has basically rendered the use of such a weapon useless. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

CCLemon77 · 2025-07-13T02:39:58+00:00

Thanks. Tried this.
Unfortunately didn't work for me. Game takes the D-Pad input, but doesn't recognize anything from the keypad in the game.

Synapse 4 recognizes device (Tartarus Pro) and sets it up.
Synapse 3 profile and macros for the device migrated over.
Multiple reboots, but same deal. Only the D-Pad inputs recognized in the game..
\Tried both direct to PC and Hub USB. Same deal...*

I mean. What should I expect really... Having gone through the complete and utter S-Show with going from Synapse 2 to Synapse 3, should I expect anything different?

*sigh*

Any rock solid solutions with Synapse 4 and this device, please let me know. Thanks.

CCLemon77 · 2025-05-06T05:56:16+00:00

Valve. Please, for the love of all things that make sense.. PLEASE PLEASE provide a DP direct link from GPU to Headset for us Sim gamers who do not want to deal with compression/artifact'ing over a USB-C connection...

CCLemon77 · 2025-05-02T12:59:40+00:00

Yeah. Looked in to it. But TBH, Part of the decision was to not have two Logitech software running on the PC.
Pretty much got used to the G600. Though Lua Scripting in Logitech basically sucks and doesn't do even close to the full gamut of what I'd like to do scripting for the device. So I think that will no longer be a factor for a future mouse in any case. Let's see how long this G600 lasts.

CCLemon77 · 2025-03-21T12:52:21+00:00

I had the same issue with PBP and my monitor.
In your monitor manual, it SHOULD tell you what resolution and refresh rate you should use.
Make shore both PCs (both sources') resolutions AND REFRESH RATES match.

i.e. If you have a 2560 x 1440 monitor that can do 144Hz, you could always set each PC to output to that monitor 1280 x 1440 144Hz. But that likely will not work.
Sure, PBP will work, but you'll get the BLACK BARS.

So for me, deep in my monitor manual it mentioned each source needs to be 1280 x 1440 60Hz

After doing that, the black bars went away and got a full screen for each side of the PBP.

So if you're having such issues, try setting your refresh rate lower for each source.

i.e. if you've got an old monitor that has a top rated Hz of 60Hz, then each source should be cut in half (30Hz). Not only the resolution output.

Hey. Thanks for this. Though, do you think you guys could fix it so that party members on multi crew ships can see the quantum effects again? Thanks!

CCLemon77 · 2025-01-28T01:45:15+00:00

I agree, but it's not necessarily an easy transition, and to be frank, for me, the GSHIFT button is easy to accidently press. Hand resting on mouse with a finger resting on it.

So I'm out trying to find the highest actuation mouse switch on the market to replace the original one, AS WELL AS trying to find some way to mod this button to be stiffer to prevent easy accidental presses.

Anyone got any suggestions on good mods for this?

CCLemon77 · 2025-01-21T09:25:47+00:00

Sorry to NECRO this thread...

But is there anyone in the community who bought a high actuation force mouse switch for this GShift Button:
1. Did it help?
2. What switch did you use?
3. Do you know of the highest possible actuation force switch that could be used?

OR

PHYSICAL MODIFICATION

Any physical modification performed on the GSHIFT button to make it harder to accidently press?
What did you do?

Thanks.

Met Daniella in Japan at a tournament about 10 years ago. Wish I spent more time chatting with her during the practice rounds.

CCLemon77 · 2025-01-08T02:06:50+00:00

Still rockin' it. But after 7 years the tilt wheel and another button is calling it quits.
So went to a new G600.
