    just got B570 from BB for 300 bucks. so far i love it. Added intel 320 120GB SSD and UJ240 Bluray Drive and it rocks!

    I'm planning to use this machine for home theater PC but I need to upgrade wireless because 2.4gHz is pretty bad in where I live. I do need that 5Ghz capability.

    Which cards are compatible for B570 without having to do any bios mod?

    Ebay has several "Intel Advanced-N 6200 MiNi Card For Lenovo 60Y3230" for sale but it does not list B series as compatible machine. would this work for my B570?

    I blindly purchased intel 5100 without thinking much but of course, encountered bios error and it won't even boot with it on it. so need to be careful this time...

    you need to remove the bios whitelist on the wireless card. google it. the card will work once you flash a modded bios
