ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

jiw2033 · 13 May 2017 at 22:08

I've just got this board but i have 64GB of Corsair Vengeance LED 3200mhz RAM CMU64GX4M4C3200C1664gb (4x16gb). Looking at the memory compatibility lists on the Asus site i cannot find my RAM listed. Naturally i expect it to work. And work at at least 2997mhz. But has anyone got this RAM, or any 64gb kit, working at 3200mhz at the default timings using BIOS 1107 - Update AGESA to 1.0.0.4a?

I understand that there is to be a microcode update in a couple of weeks.

My only real issue here is that with Computex coming up i can imagine a scenario where Asus bring out new boards designed after "lessons learn't" with this first gen boards. I don't want to build my system and find this top of the line Crosshair 6 is permanently stunted due to its rushed release.

The ram issue is not specific to Asus.

I also have 64gb, but HyperX predator 3000.

You will be lucky to get 2666 on ram if not using bclk oc.

It'll likely be at least another month before we know if they can improve the situation

On 1107 getting 5ghz stable was a doddle.

Whoa! Overclocking master! Are you using LN2?

Ooops, 4ghz

Does this motherboard lose ssd's when booting?
I have a x370 prime pro that does this and I'm thinking of swapping to this.
Cheers.

Losing SSD?

I have an M2 as my OS drive and two 850 SSD for data and they work for me.

yeah sometimes on boot my windows drive disappears.

SupraWez · 14 May 2017 at 15:44

Not something I have seen on my setup, might be worth waiting for more replies to see if anyone else has had similar experience.

bake73 · 14 May 2017 at 15:51

Ok thanks.

Ordered one to check.

eyetrip · 14 May 2017 at 16:01

Never had an issue with drives disappearing.

But I never had that with the x370 pro either

MSI tomahawk kept loosing my ssd until I moved ports with it. No issues on this board.

Everyone seen this page? It tells you a lot of known issues even with the most current BIOS, it may be enlightening: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread

Removed post to save blushes, but there should be a better CMOS battery supplied at ASUS

4x16 3200Mhz not working on any board. 2666 is the best you can hope for until update with this density of mems

Yes, it was inevitable. I have one of the Wi-Fi Go modules from a Z97 Wi-Fi AC but forgot to install it, cannot be bothered to remove the mobo now.

I get the 'Houdini' dissapearing SSD issue with my X370 Asus Prime Pro

I'm OK with it, so long as there's not a bunch of under the hood changes they made to fix problems in the existing, now that they have had people beta testing the darn thing for them

Can't we buy the wi-fi module separately, as listed in the manual?
