ASUS Official X79 Motherboards Support Thread

[Gdfath3r]

It seems that I fixed the problem myself by buying a bios chip.

Bios setting raw Mhz 4/8GB air on retail board/cpu

I have a little bit thing with my x79 Deluxe .. offtly when i shut down the computer, at the moment when the PSU should shut down exactly, BSOD, i suspect the board is not shutdown, instead restart, and this provocate an error, or the board cant power off a device ( USB, SATA, i dont know ).. I cant use the BSOD code as it seems change every time (i have see 0x00002 offtly but it change every time ). ( different bios upgraded: 504-605- and with the las bios 701. )

Hello

0x02 is normally an operating system or driver error. As you are seeing the BSOD when the PSU is at the point of shutting down also points to an operating system issue. The operating system should already have been shut down before the power supply is ready to turn off. I have not seen this behavior using the X79 Deluxe with either Win7 or Win8.1.

Agreed. Most shutdown errors tend to be driver related.

I have a question pls. Need to know if the new Asus x79-Deluxe mobo officially supports TRIM when running RAID 0? If not then I'm going back to a single drive but I hope it does...
Anyone?

[Lanek]

Thanks you t_ski and Praz.. will look on it.

I have check mine Raid0 on the x79 deluxe ( by cmd and Trimcheck software ), and it say it is enabled..

Good to hear, thanks man!

Can you tell me what OS and driver version you are using?

[Lanek]

Can you tell me what OS and driver version you are using?

Win 7 x64 + Intel RST ( last version ) 12.9. (( Raid0 is made of 2x old Crucial C300 )

[t_ski]

Win 7 x64 + Intel RST ( last version ) 12.9. (( Raid0 is made of 2x old Crucial C300 )

Thanks. Unfortunately, I can't get 12.9 to install: it tells me that it's not supported. I looked at the driver, and it shows Intel C600 chipset driver 3.6, which is the only one that works (from Asus site). I can manually change the driver to 12.8 (the only one I have extracted), but then RST still won't install.

Any chance you have a guide that you used to update this?

EDIT: OK, so apparently what I had was the RSTe (enterprise version). I found out that driver version 3.7 adds TRIM, so I went looking for that. I found 3.8 instead, and trim_check finally shows trim is working!

Anyone,

Got a boot problem out of the blue.
Init walks fine until "70"
Then it halts on A2 , bios 45..(Latest)
On the second bios, 12.09 it halts on AE

Reseated the CPU, replaced Tim, 1 stick test, 1 disk test, etc

Only mild OC-ing, no signs of degrading, mem works fine in 2-end rig.

Could use some help here,

It never boot or it only happend sometimes ?

When i have build initially my setup, i have got this, stopping on AE, A2 etc .. i have think the board was dead, so i send it back to RMA, i take a new one... same thing, finally i have test the board + another CPU, funny enough, this was the CPU who have die. I hope its not the case for you.

Second thing can be the gpu setup, try check it.

It happend out of the blue. Yesterday powerd down, and this morning no boot.
System was stable for last 3 months, without any change.

I`ll RMA the board and cpu, comming from the same vendor, and see what happens.

Changed the CPU, and booted fine.
After initial settings were done, booted fine.
AHCI single disk works.
Changing to raid, lockup, and no way to clr anymore.
Back to A0 error.

Changed CPU again, and story repeads itself, when going to Raid-mode on Intel.

New board is underway

x79 deluxe owners, are you able to use 125 strap?
for some reason I can't boot with 125 strap with all others settings at default.

[xpower]

may i ask why you wana use strap ? you need to up vcore, vtt and vccsa aswell according to your overclock.

I've got a weird behavior with my X79 Deluxe. The rig is fully stable other than shutting down or rebooting. It just hangs and I physically have to press the button. Sometimes I lose monitor signal while hanging. Code stays at AA and the hard drive activity light comes on. When I get the rig back on, I'm greeted with a message, your Overclock has failed bla bla bla... I brought everything back to stock/auto but it doesn't make any difference. I'm out of ideas. This appears to be some kind of a Bios glitch cause I tried everything. Specs are in the sig...

Problem solved. Intel Rapid Storage Tech software caused the hanging. Specifically Link Power Management feature, doesn't like the Samsung Pro's. Disable it!

Finally got to the bottom of it. My Crucial M4 SSD crapped out on me. It still works but it's the sole cause for the random freezes/hangs I was getting. Once unplugged everything works as it should... lol too funny

[t_ski]

I have something similar to that on mine. I occasionally have issues with the rig not wanting to power off, so I have to flip the switch. I get the same "overclock has failed" message, but I'm running at stock (just using the XMP profile in the ram). I assumed this was related to crunching on this PC, but probably not if your having the same issue. My board is an X79 Pro.

125 strap working ok here.

You have a buggy board there Mr. Raja!

If I connect more than two SSD drives to the Marvell controller the system becomes totally unstable. I was running on two drives since I posted the last message here without any issues so I know for a fact my computer is stable. As soon as I connect a third and a forth SSD drive to the marvell controller you can kiss stability goodbye. I even bought two brand new SSD drives to overcome this and there is no data on it but the outcome is the same. So it's not the drives, it's not me, it's your Asus x79 Deluxe mobo...
