Id suggest trying each stick individually and trying them in each channel - one of the chan A sockets and one of the chan B sockets. What Id do is try running it at 3600MHz and tighten the timings a bit if possible. Best gaming performance â 5-Way Optimization with Auto-Tuning, 2nd-generation T-Topology and OC design. If you have a graphic card on a PCIE slot (I use a 1060 graphic card in it), it will use another 16 lanes at X16 speed.Īt least this is what I understood from manual - let me know if this is the case. The Maximus VIII Formula supports up to 3733MHz ram speed.
M.2 can work in two modes on VIII Ranger boards:ġ) One mode is SATA mode and you install a M.2 form factor SSD with SATA interface - basically SATA6G_12 will be disabled (you can't used them because M.2 form factor SSD you installed will use these 2 ports SATA 6G, number 1 and 2).Ģ) Another mode is PCIE mode and you install a M.2 factor from SSD with PCIE interface - basically you can use ports SATA 6G, number 1 and 2, as your M.2 form factor SSD you installed will use PCIE lanes of your motherboard - Ranger has 20lanes i think and your SSD will use 4 of them at X4 speed. It says when the M.2 is in SATA mode the SATA Interface 1 (SATA6G_12) will be disabled.īut I don't know what is meant by SATA6G_12 and does this affect the raid 1 system? HDD1 HGST Ultraistar 7K6000 (6TB n RAID1) (US7SAK600) (SATA 6G_3 in RAID1)Ĭheck your manual i have 6 sata ports on z390-e i used the 2 slot of m.2 PSU be quiet!

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger INTEL Z97 Chipset, ATX Mainboard w/ 4 RAM slots, ROG SupremeFX-8 Channel HD Audio, HDMI, GbLAN, USB 3.0, SATA-III, 2x Gen3 PCIe x16, 1x Gen2 PCIe x16 & 3x PCIe x 1 OS: Microsoft(R) Windows 8. But I read in different forums when I install a m.2 SSD some SATA ports doesn't work. I plan to replace my current SSD with the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB. Please could you help me how to configure it in the BIOS? A single M.2 slot (M Key) is also present which takes in 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices, both SATA & PCIE mode. A single PCI-E x4 slot is also present for other daughter cards. Although you said you have been able to flash the latest BIOS version to it ? Changing the CMOS battery of the motherboard is a very good point too.Ī bent CPU pin, said above, can be an issue too.I recently buyed a new SSD for my gaming PC but I'm not even sure if my plan to install works. The MAXIMUS VIII GENE features two PCI-e X16 Gen3 slots, the topmost one runs at full x16 speed and when used in multi-card config, at x8/x8 speeds. I too would at this stage guess the BIOS chip might be faulty. If it's just the one stick have you tried it in slot any of the other slots to see if that makes a change? in B2 maybe?Ĭan you perhaps borrow some other RAM (lower clock) from somebody and test on the board? Is that "Kingston Hyper X 16gb 3200Mhz DDR4" a single stick of RAM? Is is installed in the corresct slot? Slot A2 (2nd from CPU)? If it's two sticks (2x8GB) they should be in A2 and B2 (2nd and 4th from CPU) Auch wurden hier das ROG-Türschild, Laufwerksaufkleber und drei Lüftersticker mit beigelegt.
I think the error 4F is "DXE IPL is started" so maybe a memory issue. Dem Maximus VIII Hero werden jedoch mit sechs SATA-Kabeln zwei zusätzliche mitgeliefert. The first ever BIOS for the board seems to be this version 0801 so the board should not have compatibility issues with the CPU. Same page also says that Pentium G4400 is compatible with all revisions of the board and it's been validated since BIOS 0801.
