I picked up an Intel RMS25PB080 off ebay. The card was supposedly a new customer return and "bench tested". However, I cannot for the life of me get any system to recognize it.
Just want to make sure i'm not missing something obvious here before I request a refund. I'm starting the refund process in 24hrs.
System 1 - Asus H97I-Plus. It's a mITX board with a single PCI-E x16 3.0 slot. I tried every combination known to man. Turned off fast boot, set to pci-e 2.0, turned off onboard sata, etc, etc, etc. Tested slot with an old ATI 5450 gpu, worked perfectly.
System 2 - Gigabyte 970A-UD3. Tried it in both PCI-E x16 slots. Same thing here, disable fast boot, disabled onboard sata, etc. This one did show "LS120" in the boot menu but I never got the Intel Raid Utility graphic and hitting <CTRL+G> did nothing. Tried a 128gb SSD (with os) and a blank 320GB Sata drive. Still nothing. ATI 5450 worked in both slots.
System 3 - Supermicro H8DME-2. This system has PCI-E x8 slots. Tried both. Same resuts. Disabled fast boot, disabled onboard sata and tried drives connected to card. Nothing. Didn't have anyhting else to test the PCI-E slots in this one.
Any other suggestions, something obvious i'm missing?
