If you're not finding conflicting information you're not visiting enough forums. Everyone has a different opinion. Some base it on what you've stated others see it as I believe (hope) is the case. Or rather maybe if you know, why wouldn't they work?
Either way, I'm waiting for Raja to advise either way as nobody beyond Intel and mobo manu would know for 100%.
Anyone know if there are any known incompatabilities between the z87 chipset (namely the Asus Maximus hero motherboard) and the Intel x25-m gen 2 80gb ssd? I seem to remember reading something similar but can't seem to find the specific info atm.. tks!
Is there any way to disable the charge boost, it's a nice feature, but unstable if anything else is plugged into that port.
Raja,
I'd appreciate your insight into an issue I'm having with a clean Windows 7 install on an Asus H87-Plus mobo.
My buddy bought some parts, relying on my advice, and Windows will not install on this new build.
Asus H87-Plus mobo
Intel i5 cpu
Nvidia 750 GTX gpu (he's not a gamer)
Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Asus DVD drive
8 gb g-skill 1600mhz ram (2 x4gb)
Windows install (off a disk) hangs with a "could not find driver" message. When I put the mobo driver disk into the dvd drive to find the driver, the shear number of available drivers means I've got to pick one. I've done that many times, in an iterative process, trying to guess at the driver that Windows is looking for.
How do I get Windows to install on this clean build? Or, how can I install the driver that Windows seems to be looking for?
Thanks,
Ken
I always found win 7 DVD installs to be terrible. You can get ISOs of windows 7 with updates included I think that are much easier to install on newer boards. Then put the ISO on a dis or flash drive. I'm also wondering if maybe you need to mess with the boot compatibility mode settings.Raja,
Thanks.
One customer service note: the documentation could be far better. I would love to know where the various drivers are located on the mobo utility disk. I think I'm lacking a sata driver, but windows 7 isn't telling me.
Fresh OS install instructions could be far clearer than what's in the manual.
Thanks,
Ken

Well, my problem is solved.
My first try was to modify some properties from the bios as you suggest Draconian. Unfortunately for me, nothing works. More things I change... worse it was. At the end, I got the red cpu led at the first boot which I never had before (only on restart).
From some days, I exchange some emails with the asus support for fixing my issue. For my second try, I applied their last suggestion and it worked! It was one more bios update...
From the start, I've the last revision of the bios but I installed it in different ways. At start, I updated the bios under DOS using an utility called Bupdater.exe from asus. (Got red cpu led) Later, I updated it using an utility called EZ Flash 2 Utility directly from the bios itself. (Got red cpu led) And last but not least, I updated the bios using the Bios Flashback system. For that, with the computer shutdown, I've to plug an usb driver with the bios and to push on a specific button. (Fixed red cpu led)
I hope that it could help you, good luck.
Um do you have another optical drive to try cause it could be its starting to die? I have Asus z87 plus with 2004 bios (haven't needed up update cause 0 problems). I have an LG bluray drive HT-DT-ST BD-RE WH08LS20 and have no problems with mine.
You know, that was a thought. I don't have a spare lying around anymore. I just ordered a new one...
Meanwhile, I'll check my other rigs and see how their ODD's look in W7/64's device manager. (Different rigs/manufacturers, so I'm not too hopeful they'll show me anything useful.)
Is there an easy way to see my data transfer rate for a disk drive? (I know there is, I just don't remember it and my google-fu has failed me.).
