  1. Hi everyone... sorry for cross posting .. im getting quite desperate in trying to find a solution which doesn't involve me dismantling the PC and taking the parts to services centre... Following my thread here i managed to find a solution instead of using the Hyper Kit is an M.2 to Mini SAS HD adapter. Rather than using the ASUS solution, i purchased a smaller adaperter from serialcables which was just enough to clear the GTX1080. problem is now the Intel 750 SSD is not recognised within the Asus Rampage Extreme V bios nor during windows install. i updated bios Version to 3504 enabled M.2 in the onboard device configuration... still no success ... if there something i am missing? i checked all cables are in place....
  2. JUST AN UPDATE .. I checked the power cables so the device is getting power.. i also tried the using the Asus Hyper kit via the PCIe8_4 and still no further into solving my issue???

  4. Sorry for the cross post but wasn't sure which thread to ask he question... Hi People, Just another quick question... i created a support ticket via nzxt and corsair but still no response either ( prob due to the weekedn break) so i thought i would ask here.. firstly i have the following hardware 2x NZXT AC-IUSBH-M1 internal usb hub 1X AKSA InterConnect EX (AK-HC-07BK) 1x NZXT GRID+ V2 1x NZXT HUE + 1x Corsair Commander Mini Asus Rampage Extreme V the motherboard has only 2 USB2.0 headers hence to run the hardware i have for the watercooling and system sensor s i need to expand the avaible headers. 1st question is it possible to daisy chain the Internal USB hubs together and then connect to them to a single usb header on the motherboard ( with the devices connected to the hubs) 2nd will this cause any issues especially regarding the front panel AKSA card reader Other questions 3.Will the corsair link software for the commander mini conflict with the CAM software from NZXT 4. is it possible to have multiple Corsair Commander Mini in a single system I wanted to initially have 2 Corsair commander mini controllers installed but the 120mm fans i have are 3 pin Corsair Performance edition hence did not know if the would be PWm speed controlled by the Commander mini and to change the fans (13 in total ) would cost too much ... Hence why i have the Grid+ (3 pin voltage regulated speed control) advice and help would be much appreciated

  6. Hello, i have the fiollowing items thjat i am putting into my build, AC-IUSBH-M1 internal USB Hub NZXT HUE+ (AC-HUEPS-M1) and NZXT GRID+ V2. ( AC-GRDP2-M1) I see the usb headers on the Grid and Hue are occupied by 1 row of pins (1 row of G D+ D- 5V).. to maximise space and use of the internal USB hub ports is it possible to connect both the GRID and the HUE on Same USB header (2 Rows like a front panel usb port header) so i can use the one slot for both devices??
  7. Hello everyone, I just putting a build with a custom water cooling configuaration and wanted some advice. i have the EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 PWM Serial as my waterpump. These are PWM pumps hence i want to control the pump speed according to the temperature value from a sensor. i have the NZXT Grid+ v. and the Corasir commander Mini fan controllers. My idea was to connect the Pump to the PSU and the PWM cable to the Commander mini as to control the speed of the pump. will this work or is it better to hook up the PWM cable from the pump to a Y connector and then plug it into the CPU header on the motherboard? thanks
  8. How about getting the Asus Hyper M.2x4mini and attaching the M.2 to Minis SAS adaptor to it and placing them to the last PCI slot ( the one after the second GPU) any compatibility or performance issue with this setup??
  9. Just a add-on note... im using the 5960X CPU ... so i would want to use both x16 slots ... im not to technically informed Gelnwing but wouldn't using both x16 give better performance? especially with a 5960X CPU i was thinking of getting an m.2 extender or Hyper M.2x4mini by Asus to put in the lower slot?
  10. Hi Everyone, I started building my system finally but ran into an interesting snag. firstly i have a Intel 750 1tb SSD the 2.5'' version so the connection is via a mini sas cable. i purchased the M.2 to mini sas adaptor to use on the motherboard but after installing the adaptor i found out the the plastic connection clip on the adaptor contacts the the Asus GTX 980 Ti that prevents the graphics card from sitting in the PCI slot properly.. i tired calling/ mailing asus so for no response!!!!! not happy... i find it hard to believe that asus could make such an error like this all my hardware is ASUS, even the m.2 to mini sas adaptor thus was at least hoping that the hardware would all be compatible for installation???? anyway chaining the hard drive is not an option.. so i am stuck with an expensive issue if it can not be resolved are there any m.2 extenders that will work with the Asus mini sas adaptor and the intel 750 SSD??? any help would be highly appreciated
  11. Hi Leonard, thanks for the reply. i know the the Indigo is not made for the chipset. i was actually thinking of apply a regular TIM/thermal pads provided by EK for the chipset and the mofset. I get your point about it being scary process hence why i am reluctant to do it.... until im confident the process will be successful and have as much information possible so in order to reduce the risk of damage to the hardware. Heating up a CPU to egg frying temps with no cooling is not something anyone would feel completely comfortable with. As you mentioned i dont have any intention to remove the Monoblock anytime soon once installed, its just the initial steps in the re-flow process is a sticking point... how well would the chipset and mofset bear the load with no cooling l (other then the provided TIM and thermal pads provided by EK) until a success reflow is completed ...as i dont want to end up burning the board? wonder if anyone has successfully done this?
  12. Hi Everyone, I bought the x99 chipset (2011-3) Rampage V extreme EK Monoblock which covers the chipset, Mofset and CPU as a single piece water block. Now looking the reviews and how to guides that are available on the internet, the Indigo application and reflow process requires a closure of the cooling system (water and air) in order for he CPU to attain a temperature to liquefy the Metal Alloy. This poses a unique problem in regards to the monoblock: The installation of the monoblock consists of removing the stock heat sink for the chipset and MOFSET there by not providing any passive cooling for these components. My (limited) understanding is that the CPU clock throttles back in order not to overheat, what about the mofset and chipset? How long or what time frame would be acceptable in order not to damage the mofset’s and chipset when applying the re-flow process?? I mailed Ek and the makers of the TIM and they reponded as follows; that being said, i mailed EK for further clarifation of the suitability regarding the TIM with the use of the EK RE5 Monoblock .... the response i got was; Now a bit confused here, One is saying we don't recommend it .. the other is saying it shouldn't be a problem.. i have searched overclockers.net and so far no responses to the question... would love to hear other views or experiences as so far i havent been able to locate How-to Guides information regarding such hardware
