Update here from an X570 user who bought this deal and received my headset yesterday.

As many of you know, the first version of the HP Reverb G2 headset has many cable issues with the biggest issue being connectivity on X570 AMD chipsets. I pulled the trigger on my purchase based on the following info stating that all new Reverb G2s come with the updated cable and that the old cable has been deprecated and replaced: https://www.reddit.com/r/HPReverb...d_all_the/

I can confirm that my headset arrived with the new cable.

I am using an MSI MAG Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard with the AMD X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5800X. First I tried plugging the headset into the USB-C port on the motherboard but it was not recognized and didn't seem to fully seat due to the I/O shield on the MB, so I used the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter and plugged it into a USB 3.1 10Gb port and it worked perfectly. No issues at all and the difference is night and day between this and my old Oculus CV1. I also have a 58mm IPD and with the headset in the smallest 60mm setting it works perfectly for me. Hope this helps if anyone is on the fence like I was.

If your computer runs on a x570 chipset then you may run into some headset issues.

Didn't this get fixed in a BIOS update? I was having a similar issue with my Samsung Odyssey and it was resolved after a BIOS was released that fixed the intermittent USB disconnect issue. That thread is from 8 months ago, which fits this timeline.

It's possible. I was only aware of this because of the comment posted here and did a quick search. I'm hoping it got fixed because I'm doing an X570 build now and I have an Odyssey.

My b550/5600x had the usb drop out issue as well. It was fixed in one of the agesa updates a few months back.

You have to go through the Id.me shop and create a new account. It inputs the company code for you.

Be prepared to spend $$$ for a GPU powerful enough to drive this HMD. Very high resolution is great for visual clarity, but hard on a GPU.

They also just released a new cable alongside Omnicept launch that embeds a full USB controller to resolve any of the problems that were not addressed with the agesa updates. That new cable is supposed to be shipping will all new Reverb G2 units.
