Just installed this board today and I have a couple of problems with it.
1/ can't get the vrm fan to work,when I push the connecter on the fan will run but when it header is fully pushed in it stops.
Seems I'm not the only one with this problem,anybody on here got this?.

2/Installed a new fresh windows 10 and it couldn't find the Internet,last nite I downloaded the drivers I needed Inc the land driver,installed it but when I reboot the pc the Internet is off,go into bios and click enable lan and it works again.
Thanks.

Always the same with new boards / chipsets / CPU`s. Manufactures get them sorted over time with new bios

Asus ROG Maximus XII Formula ordered as refund came through.
The vrm fan is a nice extra to have if you have bad airflow near the vrms.

I guess so but if you are spending a lot on a mb I doubt you would be scrimping on case/fans.

I have 2 140mm fans from a 280mm rad that's blows over the vrms,the strix was returned as faulty.
