ASUS Official X79 Motherboards Support Thread

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 )

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
