I noticed
My board is still behaving oddly. Doesn't save my Boot preferences, even when everything but my boot drive is disabled it still gets screwy and tries to boot DVD drive etc.
Prime/Linx stable settings sometimes won't boot, basically nothing will run 1T no matter clocks/volts on anything. Tried 3 different kits now.

Would anyone be able to upload a 4.6GHz or higher profile to download or just post settings for 4770K + Impact?
I think my board is a little flakey but I might just be noobing it up with some voltages. I haven't really OCed much since X58 days and then just a little during 2500/2600K on P67 to get a 24/7 stable clock.

Raja,
I'm interested in picking up an Asus Z87 board, but I want to make sure I get one with a C2 stepping chipset. I have read about how the model numbers of boards with the C2 steppings now end with a 5 although according to a thread on Hardocp it seems like boards in the US may not be changing over to the new model numbers. What I'm wondering is the Z87-PRO(V EDITION) all C2 steppings since it is a fairly new board? Thank you.
As far as I am aware we have been shipping C2s on all new stock for a while (all boards). Anything not C2 is probably stock at the etailers. Should be C2 at this point really. If not you can return it, if you are affected by the USB 3.0 bug - not many people are.

I'm not quite getting the answer I would like so, let me ask the question a different way. Were any of the Z87-PRO(V EDITION) boards made with C1 stepping chipsets? In other words is there any chance if I bought that model that I could get a C1 stepping chipset? I do understand that I would be unlikely to be affected by the problem, however, since there is a fixed stepping out I want the fixed stepping. I would also really prefer to not have to return a board, but would rather just get one with a fixed stepping in the first place. Thank you.
Best ask the store I think. I do not know off the top of my head what was C2 or not.

Could use some help with a couple issues I'm having with my new build.
Contains Gryphon (1603), 4770k, 4x4gb corsair vengence 1600 (at 1333 atm), Sammy 840 pro (latest firmware), xfx 7970, seasonic x650, win 8.1 x64 pro.
No tweaking or overclocking of any sort yet (other than flashing the latest bios and installing all the drivers from Asus website.)
1.) Machine boots to bios every time. Selecting bios boot menu (f7) and clicking the default boot device (uefi windows boot manager entry) allows it to boot up to the os.
I've tried changing all the related settings in bios, that I'm aware of anyway, but nothing has any effect on this behavior.
<edit 11/23> This issue was apparently related to my old alienware xtact keyboard. This device requires 2 usb connections. When I unplug the secondary usb, which only controls the lights afaik, the board boots right up to windows. Given the age of the keyboard I'd wager that the chances of anyone bothering to figure this out and fix it are approaching zero. Time to shop new keyboards.
2.) Machine does not go to sleep. Ever. I can put it to sleep manually but it will not go to sleep by itself despite being set to do so.
I've looked over the W8 power menu and disabled wake on scheduled task but the machine still won't sleep.
<edit 11/23> This issue went away when I uninstalled AItweaker3.
Had to use the venerable "unlocker" to nuke the last of it.
No idea which section of the software package was causing the problem and I doubt I'll invest any time in figuring it out.
I learned better than to install crap like this back in the NF7-S days but I thought perhaps it would have improved by this late date.
Apparently not.
It seems to be a stout board and it runs great but I have to get these basic functionality niggles straightened out if it's going to stay on my desk.
Any suggestions welcome.
<edit 11/23> Basic functions now working well. While my use case doesn't require it, I may even try ocing it a bit at some point.
Because XS.

Hi All,
My Asus Maximus VI Gene will not post past code 71. I've tried everything but a differnet CPU since I only have 1 socket 1150 CPU.
I tried, various RAM sticks, different PSUs, reseated the CPU, placed Mobo on cardboard, new CR2032 battery, dirrent video cards, etc.
What do you all think it is since it can only be the CPU or the Motherboard.

Hi guys, I need a lot help. What BIOS is the best for LN2 for M6F? I cant broken 5850 MHz with 32M and with Win7 64-bit. This chip must be 6.2-6.3 GHz (5 GHz air 2c/2t 1.44V in win7 32M), could be the issue in non right BIOS or in WIndows7 OS? XP can help me over 400 MHz?!

Hey guys merry Xmas and Happy 2014 !!!
I come to ask for some help before i unmount all my rig over my dimastech
I have a M6Formula brand new a 4770K, SEASONIC X-1250W PSU, OCZ and TeamGroup SSD well all was working excellent on asrock, giga and msi boards. Today i put the M6F and at first 99 then A2 codes with the R9 270 ON...so i did all the combinations, even using rog flash, switched mem, ssd..same story...So i pulled out VGA and started working ok....Now put VGA again and i have same A2 or AE with NO SIGNAL...So took that card out put my 780HOF clear CMOS and SAME...Oh man its driving me crazy...
Maybe i should remount CPU ? i should say that on the first start of the board i smelled like PCB burnt stuff but like comming from the RAM sockets...but it was really weird. It works all fine except that only with ONBOARD VIDEO.
Any help i appreciatte
Cheers !!!

Should it be set to Mode 1 or Mode 2?
