Hi

if yes, how?

thanks

My bluetooth was working. It stopped working this week. I'm looking for a fix.

 

[SirDoyle]

good

it never work with me

what kind of driver you installed?

 

[redfoxhound]

I didn't install any drivers or anything. It worked out of the box. Still trying to find a solution for wifi and bluetooth.

Are you experiencing any freezing with your build?

what's the OS ver.? 10.12.6?
I hope we can find any solution. I have already ordered Wifi Bluetooth Card 607-8967 BCM94331CD

Are you experiencing any freezing with your build?

What kind of freezing and when? I don't feel any freezing with my build

and one more question (off topic): how did you make the sound work?

I exhausted my search for enabling wifi on the strix z270e so I ordered a Chinese Broadcom card. $50! the problem is that it will arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. I will let you know if it works

I currently have my customac working almost perfectly on my strix z270e and i7 7700 and gtx1080i... I couldn't be happier

****only weird behavior I have noticed is when trying to delete a file by pressing Command+DEL (not backspace, using windows keyboard) actually crashes my system.****

I forgot to mention that the Broadcom card had native compatibility so now I have a fully working handoff and unlock with Apple Watch. it is beautiful. Keep in mind to disable the mobo wifi/bt from the BIOS so that they don't conflict with the pci Broadcom wifi/bt card.

FYI I also replaced the 1080Ti with a Vega64 and now the user experience is even better, with the Nvidia card it was a little choppy and now it all works beautifully.
