Breach of NDA . the m.2 shouldn't take up a Sata port though

its only boards with 2 m.2 which one runs at a slower rate that you have to read up carefully

You see the preview on OC3D of Asus then Gigabyte boards. that is also a breach lol. fact ASUS sent a board to them before today, and then them doing a preview of the Gaming 5 that came with the AMD media kit again is a breach . Everyone is using a bit of rule breaking to get the platform out there. Some of OCUK comments breaks it, but needs to be done. I think AMD know this and have been relaxed a bit .

Nope. There's very VERY little stock around at the moment. There'll be more next week.

Vakas · 3 Mar 2017 at 12:43

Hopefully I will get mine soon.

Ordered it last week will have all the bits tomorrow so just waiting on it now

Yaayuh! · 3 Mar 2017 at 12:54

Me too. Waiting on 1800X and this motherboard.

Vakas · 3 Mar 2017 at 12:56

I found a store in Birmingham yesterday that had 5 in stock and drove 70 miles to pick one up

worth it.

Also BETA Bios 5803 has been posted by a Asus employee. not up on their site yet though. increases memory speeds for dual sided RAM.

What speed memory does it support out of the box?

Nutella33 · 4 Mar 2017 at 17:59

Mine reverted to 2133 out of the box but I still had to update bios to 0704 just to POST, latest bios (5803) I'm running at 2666.

there's a difference depending on your memory sticks. Fewer stick are better and one sided over two sided are better again. With the 5803 bios there's this guide...

That said others have booted and gone to 2666 or 3000+ straight out of the box. just depends!

Vakas · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:17

Which Memory are you using?

I've bought some G Skill Trident Z 3200 2 sticks

Nutella33 · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:21

You'll prob be fine. Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz 2 sticks. I'm going on the assumption mine are double sided as it bsod's at anything higherbv so running the lower freqs at the moment.

Just play about with it

Vakas · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:24

Either way the memory will work its just a matter of updating the BIOS right?

Nutella33 · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:28

Yeah, just have a usb stick on standby with the stable bios on (0702 from the website) just in case it doesn't POST first time round and don't panic

Enjoy!

Vakas · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:36

I have gone on to the ASUS site there are 2 version there (5704, 0702)

where did you download yours from

Nutella33 · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:51

link is above, but heres another one with some more info.

http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread

The guy works for Asus MB R+D. its not on the official site yet but its as good as any other BETA bios

~edit~ sorry if you meant where I got 0704 from, was just typing from memory, official one is 0702)
