Ehh sorry brainfart. For some reason I thought this was a Deluxe thread

Rampage 5 Extreme as noted in my signature.
The usb ports and sata ports seem bit temperamental. I built my new Asus X99 Deluxe system yesterday...no expert but this is my 6th PC build and was the most irritating.
I think everything seems to be working ok now. On the latest Bios and hoping for better ones down the road....
probably my motherboard is fault.
can you install the asmedia drivers? if yes, does your USB ports works? I mean the last two usb in the bottom of the motherboard.
Yes I could. My last two and some other USB ports were not working but after installing the two (Intel and Asmedia) USB drivers they started working. Few times during startup, keyboard and mouse would not work, seems to have auto resolved itself.
Did you try resetting stuff? I hope you can sort it out.
For the money I paid the MOBO seemed bit buggy, I just hope the hardware is not flaky and future BIOS will make it all perfect. Right now everything seems ok though.
My MOBO package was perfectly sealed (not tampered) but I am 99% sure there was no driver CD inside. I am very organized so either I am getting old and placed it somewhere too safely or it was never in it
EDIT- Btw found the driver CD under the printer
Question 1- I have Asus X99 Deluxe + 5820k + 32GB RAM. In the Bios I went under the tweaking section and selected performance setting with tower cooler etc. That bumped my CPU speed to 4GHZ from 3.3GHZ when under load.
If 4GHZ is good enough for me then I don't need to mess with the Asus AI suite 3 utility, correct?
Question 2- What is FULLY SAFE overclock that the 5820k is capable of?
Thanks
Take off the extra 2 pins and it should fit totally fine.
Apparently there are two versions of the 6-pin PCIe connector:
Looks like he has version 2 and the motherboard accepts version 1.
Doesn't matter, a V2 plug fits into a V1 socket. The physical pinout is identical.
V1 PEG6 only had 2 12v conductors. V2 PEG6 has 3 12v conductors like PEG8.
Pretty sure this was done so that V1 PEG6 couldn't be used in '6+2' fashion because it would be lacking the third conductor and not be able to supply full power to a PEG8 connection.
Thanks a lot for the responses. Now it all makes sense.
Glad it's cleared up.
If you have anyone nearby that builds PCs would get them to help you on this build if you decide to go for it. It's not something one should be undertaking with little experience.
Is the Ai Suite for the X99 Deluxe worth the effort or ignore it and just go directly to the UEFI BIOS and use it -- I am not after OC'ing my i7-5930 but to 4 GHz, so am not after a record OC and am using RipJaws 2800.
Thoughts/Opinions? Thanks
Hi, I have just spent sometime reading through the previous posts to see if there are any similar issues to the ones I'm having, some are similar, some aren't.
Firstly my build is
Creative SB ZxR 70SB151000001
512GB Crucial MX100 2.5 7mm
1 Samsung LU28D590DS 4K LED
1 4x4 2666Mh CMK16GX4M4A2666C16R
1 Core i7 5820K + Asus X99-DELUX
EVGA/04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB EVGA GTX970 FTW ACX2 running 2-way SLI
Corsair RM1000 1000W FGold PSU
I am running windows 7 64, and have the latest bios from asus 1103. I built this comp two days ago and have had nothing but problems. I have never tried to oc this, it has always been run at stock. My problem at the moment and this has been a recurring one amongst others, is the system booting, windows logo loading, then nothing, I lose signal to monitor and the system hangs until I restart. This is using display port 1.2 and I have had the same results using hdmi. Then when I restart the bios tells me that overclocking has failed (even though I have not tried to overclock!) and to run setup. Now previously I have run setup, not changed anything and then the system loads again, as normal, windows loads fine. I have had no stability problems once in windows. But now since the past hour the system will not load windows and I am in an endless cycle of restarting, overclock fail message, setup, restart, windows logo, display signal lost, system hangs, then back to restarting again.
Raja@asus can you advise?
A bit more info... I have re installed windows perhaps 5 times in the past two days, tried both windows 7 and 8. System seems more stable when NO nvidia drivers at all are installed (although not fully stable, still have had the overclock failed ,estate happen). I have updated windows 7 with all important updates, and bios is flashed to latest version as of yesterday (1104).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I am thinking this is a mixture of bios issues and nvidia drivers (particularly in SLI) or could be a faulty mobo. I have tried with single graphics cards, with both of them, I.e. Graphics card 1 on its own and graphics card 2 on its own and still have the same problems, although at least some of the time windows loaded, but now it will not.
EDIT BIOS VERSION IS 1103 (not 1104 as I previously stated)
thanks Raja!Hi,
1) The "Overclocking Failed" message is displayed if the POST process does not complete succesfully OR the power button is held down for 5 seconds to shut the machine down when it locks up. The latter is a feature that puts settings into safe mode so that the board can POST and the user can change settings etc. Given your issues, seeing this message displayed is not outside expectations - so this isn't an issue in itself.
2) Power down the system at the wall socket (AC off) and remove two memory modules. Leave them out for now. Clear CMOS and the power up the machine. See if you still have issues getting to the Windows desktop. If you don't or there is more consistency in success we know the issue is being caused by DRAM instability which we can tackle if need be.

Raja, apologies for not sticking to the plan, but just after your response i found a beta nvidia driver that I installed and (touch wood) everything seems fine now for over 4 hours. I have restarted, shutdown, switched off and all seems to be well in terms of loading to windows successfully.Okay, let me know
I have trouble with new build having X99-S. I'm stuck with the fact that mobo doesn't post, mobo gets power because power/reset leds are on but nothing happens trying to turn it on.
My question is that what it means if bios flashback button at the back of the mobo is blinking(slow blinks) immediately and all the time when power is connected from psu?
I originally thought that bios is just corrupted and waiting to be flashed so I put the CAP file in usb stick and connected that to flashback usb port without pressing the button. Now the flashback light starts a sequence of slow, faster, fast blinks and eventually starts this sequence from a beginning. It almost looks like flash operation fails and it just starts it again but I've always thought that light should stay on when something goes wrong?
I'm pretty sure all cables, etc are connected(double checked myself) because I got this build from a company specializing these builds but somehow it was broken when I got it.
@raja a little help would be nice here. Been asking for assistance with this since the board was released.I still have not heard back regarding these devices:
I can't figure out what this unknown device is... It's obviously something on my motherboard, but none of the drivers on the disk or downloaded from the site clear this unknown device.
Can't figure out why there's an interrupt conflict on this device either.

I actually don't even have an IDE controller installed. All I've got in my PCIE slots are my two GPUs themselves. So I have no idea what the A8ZHIIJY controller is or where it's coming from.
Go to Properties for the device in device manager, and look at details->device instance path. Should be a VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx (Vendor and Device IDs) in there, try searching for them, or whatever is in there, with google/bing.
Edit: I have a similar unknown device after checking, I think the unknown device is for asus utilities to communicate with the bios as that's what mine is for and the asus utilities will install it if you use them, according to a web site I have now lost..Do you use any of the asus utilities? If not, you can probably just ignore it.
In the EZ-Mode, the Boot Priority only lists two of my four drives (1 SSD for OS/Programs -- BOOT DRIVE, 1 SSD for DATA, 1 HDD for data backup, and 1 BD Burner). Sometimes when the computer attempts to boot up, it boots to the UEFI since the Boot Drive SSD is no longer listed as the Boot Drive -- might not even be one of the two drives listed. IF I go into the menu that lists all of the drives, the SSD's are at the bottom and cannot seem to be moved as I would do in ye olde BIOS of days gone by placing the boot drive at the top..
Next, go into Advanced Mode and select BOOT at the top menu -- it is sometimes difficult to get the right drive into BOOT OPTION 1 and the same for BOOT OPTION 2 since they only lists two drives each and may NOT contain the drive desired.
IF IF IF by some chance, I end up with the right SSD drive as BOOT OPTION 1 and the BD burner as BOOT OPTION 2 -- and save and exit -- if I go back in -- they will have changed.
Is there any solution to this nightmare -- thank goodness if I don't need to boot into the UEFI again, the boot SSD stays and Windows 8.1 works fine BUT should I go back into the UEFI to look around -- the order of boot drives changes again. I so plan to do some minor tweaking in the UEFI later and will be facing this nightmare again -- and don't want to spend 5 hours getting the boot SSD back into OPTION 1 BOOT location.
The computer is not overclocked at all at this point since it is a new build -- it is stable and works well other than keeping the drives in the right sequence with the BOOT SSD FIRST.
I even tried disconnecting all drives but the SSD BOOT DRIVE and starting the computer, shutting it down, connecting the BD Burner next, shutting the computer down, etc. and did not help at all. I don't think there is anything wrong with the motherboard -- but rather with me not knowing how to lock down the drives in boot order as I would in ye olde fashioned ugly BIOS of yesteryear.
HOW CAN I LOCK THE BOOT SSD AS THE BOOT DRIVE without it changing???
BIOS 1004 FWIW
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
Is there a BIOS 1103 as I have seen suggested for the X99 Deluxe board -- the latest I find on the Asus download site is 1004 that came with my board?
