So there is a pretty big issue with the PCIe lane distribution on the Rampage V Edition 10 that I feel more users should be made aware of. If you are like me and run an M.2 drive, SLI vidya cards, and a PCIe SSD....you will not get full speed. It will either not allow the PC to boot, or you'll be stuck in an endless boot cycle....or you'll get X16 on one card, X8 on another, and your M.2 SSDs will not run full speed.
This is a pretty big deal considering ALL of these things worked flawlessly at full speed on the older Rampage V Extreme....so what's the deal?
I am running a 5960X with 40 PCIe lanes.
SLI 1080s in the exact slots Asus says to run them. I am running an M.2 950 Pro in the on-board M.2 slot. That is currently NOT even running at max link speed as reported by Samsung Magician...I still don't know why that is....
Anyway, at first my SLI was broken when I had the SLI config setup and the PCIe SSD in either the middle slot or the bottom slot...so I removed it and now SLI is working at max speed again.
Go here to see what the issue is: http://www.overclock.net/t/1613430/official-rampage-v-edition-10-owners-thread/150
