The ROG RAMPAGE VI APEX/EXTREME Owners Thread

Wondering if someone can help me figure out why the Asus Hyper m2 x16 card will not recognise more than 2 drives in it at a time, I currently have 2 960 evo's in it (raid 0) and just tried adding a single 970 evo. I am pretty sure I have the bios settings set correctly, am I right in thinking this should just work off the bat and be recognised in Windows disk manager, my motherboard is an Asus Apex X299. Would greatly appreciate any feedback



I just attempted to remove all the drives and just use the 970 and low and behold it works in slots 1 and 2 but not in slots 3 and 4, ahhhhhhhh wth

@noobftw you need intel SSD's and a licence dongle to use VROC

the licence dongle plugs into the motherboard and they are no longer available it seems.

RAID & VROC
  • VROC
    Use the CPU_DIMM.2 expansion card to take advantage of Intel's Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) feature* by connecting two M.2 drives in RAID. Or maximize storage performance with the addition of an ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Card** for up to four PCIe® 3.0 x4 M.2 drives and total bandwidth of up to 128Gbps. With VROC, your RAID arrays are easily configured to be bootable, and traditional DMI bottlenecks are eliminated so your storage is not held back by other traffic.

    *Additional purchase of Intel VROC hardware key required for RAID 1, 5 or 10
    **The ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Card is sold separately

Hi, I'm still with the old 1004 (7900X @4.8 on a R6Apex), I was planning to update to the 1401, now I see the 1503 is available as well.
Anyone noticed any kind of performance loss / oc capability decreased from the 1401 to this 1503?
Thank you
 
If it's working well.... Your updating... Absolutely why?????? Not one reason... For sure you lose efficiency on later micro codes for a start....

Leave it... Enjoy your games.
