Which memory modules. 1007 is the same UEFI provided to HardOCP for testing the beta was only for SATA2 SSD testing. We have done extensive testing on the Z87 series and our boards have no issues hitting 2133, 2400, 26xx and greater speeds but there are considerations with Haswell relative to...

Overclocking wise the boards will essentially be the same. We have done 4.8GHz ( assuming your cpu and cooling allow for it ) without any issues. The Deluxe of course will have a cooler runnign VRM due to beefier heatsinks and more robust power components. In regards to the rest it comes down to...

I would recommend you clear the CMOS and once clear manual set the memory divider to something basic like 1333. From then reboot to your OS and then shutdown and then load back into the UEFI load defaultss and go from there. Additionally if you have consider updating your MEI to the 8.1...

Hello SpeedyVV, Thanks for your call out on our efforts at working with the community. It is appreciated! Hello Broons, I would consider our P8Z77-V as you noted it is really an awesome board if you have any questions about it feel free and let me know.

What issues have you seen with the P8C WS I have been using this board for our internal WHS and Windows Server Essentials without issues. The digital PWM design also has a high degree of flexibility at tuning the VRM for max efficiency. Additionally our board offers full power shedding...

Hello LeBronville, I would check out our P8H77-I board or if you can wait a little our upcoming E2KM1-I Deluxe. This is an integrated APU based solution but you have everything you want low thermal foot print low power consumption and solid graphics card for all decoding purposes. Really...

The ASUS board has a number of nice benefits 1. Superior fan controls where you can define manual and preset values for the headers on the boards 2. Superior USB controller with faster native performance and support UASP which is considerbly faster ( when using a UASP enabled storage device or...

Assuming you are running UEFI defaults make sure you have installed the Intel chipset drivers this are very important for ACPI functionality and a number of functions that help to ensure S state functionality ( such as sleep and hibernation )...

I would go with the P8Z77-M PRO ASUS boards are currently the only boards with full UEFI support that has .CAP implementationt his supports the most advanced low level functionality of UEFI native installations including Secure Boot, Fast Boot in addition to a number of other enhancements...

Computernerd1993 Tsumi got it right offset is the best way to overclock a CPU in regards to lifespan, efficiency as well as thermal load.It can be tricky to dial in as it requires a little more time compared to just setting a manual vid which is not efficient and feeds more voltage than the CPU...

El_Capitan Meaker got it right total design and component choice and implementation is in the end what matters. An example is our ROG boards are all only 8 Phase but use the best components and carefully tune to provide the best performance possible. In your situation it is not just the phase...

Hello All, Dan pretty much nailed it on the head. Any Fan Xpert II motherboards has full control options within the UEFI or OS for 3 pin and 4 pin fans. The only consideration point is that the CPU header is limited to control of 4 pin fans all chassis headers support both 3 pin and 4 pin. As...

Hello munkle, If you are generally using your mechanical drive only for playback or reference of documents you are correct caching or even and SSD would not be of an immediate value. If you are running applications though or games then you could of course see an improvement. At the end of the...

Hello ForcefulPWNZ , Why not consider a small SSD though to improve the read performance especially for games or applications you have on the mechanical HD. The cost is pretty low considering you can get a 60 or 64GB SSD for caching for around 60 to 75 dollars. If you are ok going smaller then...

Hello omniscence, Sounds like you are exactly using it as intended with a mix of SSD as Primary OS but for large game installations and applications use it to enhance your TB mechanical storage. As for the vote it would be that you use RST/SRT - SSD Caching. Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry to hear it was price based as generally we have a board in comparable price range especially at Amazon. Yes I am ware of the poor state of software controls on GB boards it is an area we have spent a lot of time to really try to provide a great experience with a high degree of...

I would also strongly consider the Gene while most might think an ATX board the Gene is a great choice especially if only considering one GPU. The audio upgrade alone is worth it ( SupremeFX III ). If you really need ATX expansion the P8Z77-V or -V PRO are great options at the same price...

Thanks so far for your feedback everyone. I will note when we implemented in on X79 the simplicity was a key factor as it could be completed all within the OS environment with no need to adjust UEFI settings and with a HD already in use/OS installed on. All that was required was a connection...

Appreciate the forum's response and feedback so far! Thanks!

Hello ob1, Thanks for the feedback appreciate it!

Hello Sinker, Can you clarify microSD? our SSD Caching only works with actuall SSD's drives that are connected to the SSD Caching SATA port? I see in your sig you are using a Gigabyte motherboard so do you mean you are using a mSATA SSD? Thanks!

Hello Dookey Why not consider at least a small capacity SSD to improve overall read performance? Are generally using the storage/server for the purpose of streaming or playback content such as music.movies,photos or are you running an locally installed applications? Thanks for your feedback!

Hello Mircx, I am aware of the difference but most users are not generally aware of the SRT naming. As SRT functionality is accessed within the RST application and is enabled by the RST application/driver I felt it provided a easier and more general way to be ware of the function/feature...

Hey fantazio Why did you chose the GB board? Just wondering one of the great things we have been focusing on on ASUS boards is fan controls for multiple generations. Our current Z77 has full 3 pin and 4 pin support availbe and indepedent of each header. Additionally there is options of...

Hey Tom, feel free to PM me as it is a pretty simple process to enable on the Deluxe. Additionally the performance of the 9128 is quite good when you consider that is not saturated by mechnical hard drives and has more than enough bandwidth to provide an increase in performance for SSD...

Hello RedRage, Thanks for the feedback. So you do not even use a mechnical HD of anytype in your rig? Additionally the RIV series not offerign SSD Caching as compred to our our non ROG X79 boards( Like Deluxe or TUF or WS ). We chose a higher performance SATA controler ASMedia 1061 on that...

Been a little since I have posted ... with that out of the way Happy New Year! For you that currently have a RST enabled chipset ( Z68, Z77 ) it would be great to have feedback RST / SSD Caching functionality/usage? If you happen to have an ASUS X79 board as well your feedback would be...

Hello All, Been alittle since I have posted ... with that out of the way Happy New Year! For you that currently have a RST / SRT enabled chipset ( Z68, Z77 ) it would be great to have feedback RST - SRT / SSD Caching functionality/usage? If you happen to have an ASUS X79 board as well...

If you are looking to OC your 2500K keep in mind it may not have that frequency available most Sandy Bridge CPUs have a real world limit around 4.8GHz there is a possibility with excessive voltage and PLL adjustments you may be able to reach the frequency. Keeping this in mind it may mean you...

Something seems off in the numbers as generally the SATA3G controller from the PCH while robust cannot provide throughput over 300MBs. Keep in mind changes to the RST software and CStates can impact performance so this could be part of your issue. I would advise running ATTO and see if the...

This is incorrect The Marvel 9128 does fully support Raid as well as our ASUS SSD Caching implementation. Due to the interconnect link ( PCI-E lane ) being less than the bandwidth afforded to the PCH SATA ports max performance will be lower than that of the Native SATA6G ports. WIth that...

It is important to note that the Thermal Armor fans are fully controllable via our UEFI or AiSuite II so you can adjust speed and ramping.

As was previously noted the Marvell controller option rom needs to be active ( enabled within the UEFI ) to allow for detection and initialization of any devices attached to it. In some instances delay post time can be due to settings made relative to clock adjustments. If you have not attempt...

To clarify all of the 4 pin headers fully support controlling and calibration for 4 pin/PWM fans. In addition the super I/O controller and firmware and required layout have been updated to additionally support 3 pin fans for chassis headers 1-4. Hope this clarifies things for you.

X79 did not feature Thermal Armor due to the already complex layout and tight spacing on the motherboard. In addition we wanted to keep the BOM cost and overall cost to a respective price point. That being noted we maintained the advanced Thermal Radar implementation still allowing for real-time...

SABERTOOTH will not have thermal armor lik ep67 ( due to space limitations and other layout consideration issues ) the current implementation in place is the thermal armor for the X79 SABERTOOTH board. As was correctly noted by Kranium the heatsink and fan combination were to add in heat...

Remember any board PRO and over you can request an advance replacement within the first year of the 3 year warranty this can help to cut down on down time. Also general feedback all users should be very careful when installing heatsinks that use a mounting back plate many times installation...

Keep in mind you should generlly not run applications like Prime 95 or OCCT on budget boards i can not speak to that ASRock board specifically but my expecatation is the VRM is desgined for generally basic stock operation with possibly very limit overclocking ( 4.0GHz and below ). If pushed too...

We do complete updates to the option “roms” but it is not always noted in the release noted for a BIOS update or UEFI update. For option roms as they have to pass extensive validation ( as we will not just take it one Intel has release it ) it will vary on the feedback received...

It is an interesting option but MSATA and MiniPCI-E are different electrical standards. So we can imlement onboard miniPCI-E slots ( like those that we already have on some miniITX boards but they would not operate with MSATA ). That being ntoed you could still use miniPCI-E SSD or flash...
