ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

Does anyone have the issue that their bus speed varies by quite a bit? My board seems to go as low as 98mhz setting it to 100 or auto doesn't seem to make any difference.

Mine is @99.x, on my Intel box it’s always been 95.x. Think the "spread spectrum" setting in the BIOS can affect it but @98+ I would not bother.

Next BIOS update does nothing for RAM apparently, just bug fixes. ASUS also having issues with the AGESA.

I think the Bios updates will come out pretty swiftly the one took 2 weeks which is not bad at all but it's still a pain.

Anyone's RGB lights gone since upgrading to 1002?

EDIT: Also my case fans stop every so often - I suspect the CPU fans would too but they're connected directly to the H110i

Lights working here ok on 1002

My MOBO lights remain on even if I set the damn things to turn off in sleep/off mode, anybody else? The Aura app is also a POS.

Asus apps are crap. Always have issues with them, from motherboard monitoring to graphics card OC software. Always unreliable, cause issues (probe actually crashes my system), and sometimes don't even load up.

Hmm, odd. Few of us having issues here: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?92197-All-RGB-leds-stopped-working

Mine stopped, I got them back when I opened the Aura app and selected default then apply. I am also using the Aura app from an Intel Z270 download page, for some reason it works better than the one from the C6H page.

Tried that. That's the version of aura I've got on now.

Thanks tho.

I read somewhere that shutting the PC down and unplugging it and letting it totally discharge all the power was needed to reset the Aura stuff. When I installed the Intel version, the lights would just flash white so When I shut it down for the night, I turned it off at the wall. Next day when I powered it up the flashing was gone as it had all reset.

Applied 0079 (1004a) and have spent the last hour ******* around trying to get even a clean RB 15 min run devoid of any WHEA, failing hard so far. No idea if it's CPU or DRAM yet which or some weird bug, but OC definitely seems 'harder'. ALso noticed another comment on the link above where someone said they needed 1.439 VCORE for 4ghz on 0079, but only 1.37 on 1002.

Anybody finding the same?

Bodom · 7 Apr 2017 at 21:26

Still on the 1002 bios not tired any of the beta ones I was tempted but everything seems stable enough for now so leaving it until the next official update.

ozzyo99 · 7 Apr 2017 at 22:16

Managed to get 3.9 @ 1.38 with BCLK 100 in the end, but my RAM seems a little fussier. On 1002 I was running BCLK 103 but it doesn't seem to like it, haven't played with timings yet.

Yep same here

ozzyo99 · 10 Apr 2017 at 11:59

Some more new BIOS now, 08X versions.

Anybody tried yet? I'm still on 0079 but might try the 1T 081 later.
