Asus Maximus V Formula Preview/ Results/ everything Thread!!!
- Thread starter 8 Pack
- Start date
Raid works very well on my Gene which is currently in my main system. I am not sure what the problem is here at boot as mine does not hault at all. Have you tried it at stock settings. What USB devices do you have attached to the system as this can often slow boot down as can devices not installed correctly.
The Formula I am currently benching a GTX470 on. The disk mode is AHCI and its litterally up in a second at 6.1ghz
What is your full system spec and maybe I can help more.
Hi & thanks,
My system details are
3770k
Corsair Force GS 240 GB x 2 RAID0 on Intel Controller
WD 2TB Black on Intel Conrtroller
Samsung Green 2 x 4GB
Asus GTX670 Direct CUII Top Seconf PICE-16 (wont fit in the first as my DH14 fowls it)
Asus Xonar Essence STX in the PCIE x4 slot
LG BDROM
When I built the system I enabled RAID from the BIOS but did not have the CD\DVD\BD or the 2TB attached, I built off a stick.
I've tried it all back at stock too

I am thinking the problem may be related to the GTX670 to be honest maybe new PCI ex codes are needed for this hardware and its slowing detection down. There are several PCI X profiles in Bios you could try these.
Funny you should say that, I was thinking the laggyness might have something to do with GTX6XX cards...
I am almost certain this is true mate.
I will put my GTX680 into my Formula tonight and see if it shows on mine. Its a new card and as with 7970 a board bios revision tuning the PCI Ex codes will probably sort it out.

Actually, scrap my comment about this board being tricky to OC with! If you spend some time with it then it will all start to sink in! Now running 4.6GHz with the volts above AIDA64 stable for 3.5hours now! Temps are averaging ~60 degrees with the very occasional jump to 70ish but when that happens its for about a second. Very happy! Will try for 4.7 tomorrow!
Apologies to all,
8 Pack could you look at the Rampage IV Extreme thread about my TRI SLI post as you maybe able to help. cheers mate

I am not sure why people are so obsessed with time to boot though!!! I never have been !!! My RIVE when I am benching takes 45 seconds just to turn on but I can score 57000 CPU marks plus in Vantage surely its more important you have the grunt when you need it not just a fast switch on???
It is gonna take a long time to boot though in comparison to the UD5 it is a hell of a lot more features for a start. These all take time being detected in Bios and then by the OS and loading drivers etc. All those PCI Ex slots etc etc !!!
Not saying you are wrong on this, but I am not convinced that this is correct.For example I have a Asrock ext 7 gen 3 board which has pretty much the same capabilities as the Maximus formula board which I now also have, and yet boot speed of the Asrock board is far superior, both bios load, and windows load.
However I agree with your earlier point that we should not necessarily be overly concerned with boot time, but then again you spend money on top notch kit for performance - so you expect good and quick boot time also.

I was actually commenting on the MVE not the Formula but again I have had no problems with the Formula either.
Have you guys tried enabling warm boot fast in DRAM options this avoids memory training on boot up every time.
