  1. Whelp…. Let this be a lesson to most out there. Don’t buy cheaper alternative to hyper m.2 cards…. An actual ASUS HUPER M.2 card solved the issue…. thanks for all the help from everyone!
  2. Pretty sure the issue is the inatek pcie card. I just put it in my x299 test bench, set up the pcie slot for hyper m.2 and I’m getting the same issue. Going to order an actual hyper m.2 and see if that fixes it.
  3. thinking the m.2 card may be crap. I pulled all the drive out of them, reformatted and initialized them, and then put them back in one by one, and the card only recognizes 1 nvme.... Kinda at a loss here lol.... Its got to be a windows thing. Because i can see all 4 drives on the card in BIOS if i was going to configure it as a bootable raid. But as soon as i try to install windows, or (not using it as a bootable array) try create a pool of all 4 drives on the card in windows, i can only see 1 of 4. Anyways, i reached out to Inateck and i'll see if they have any suggestions.
  4. I made a raid on the dimm.2 in storage spaces. But I can still only see one of the 4 team group nvme drives in the hyper m.2 card in device manager….
  5. Got windows installed, but when I load the raidexpert software to install the drivers I get this error…
  6. Even after taking all the add in cards out, deleting the arrays and trying a windows install with a single m.2 installed on the board, windows installation keeps resetting when I try to install the raid driver….
  7. Off. so from what I understand, this should be the order of doing things: 1.pull dimm.2 and hyper card out. 2. fresh install of win 10 on the main NVME (install raid drivers at this time) 3. Fully update windows and install raidxpert software 4. install dimm.2 and boot to windows 5. set up dimm.2 as a 2tb raid array in bios, boot to win 10 and initialize array in raid xpert software. Then power down. 6. Install hyper cars and set up raid array in bios 7. boot to windows and initialize hyper raid array in raid xpert software something like that??
  8. Not sure what you mean by “turn off show physical drives”. I don’t think I have that set anywhere.
  9. So right now I have 3 1tb nvme’s installed on the board directly. One next to the PCH , and 2 installed in the dimm.2. there isn’t a “hyper m.2” option for pcie. Just pcie16x and raid mode. I don’t see anywhere on that product page that it’s a RAID compatible card but I’m not sure if that matters. I’m just suprised that you can just set the pcie hyper m.2 and not have to worry about setting up raid mode
  10. Hmmm yea okay that’s weird. Not it’s just rebooting the windows installer when I try to install the raid driver….
  11. I’m worried that this isn’t a compatible raid card. I’d be okay with just bifurcating the pcie slot and just having 41tb drives, but I don’t think you can do that. I mean, I’ve tried and that’s not working either
  12. And I’ve tried the official raid driver from AMD, and both versions that are available for this board on the asus website. this is the 4x nvme card I’m using https://www.inateck.com/products/pcie-x16-to-m-2-card-with-4-nvme-ssds-supported-built-in-cooling-fan-kn4338?_pos=21&_sid=89ae1cd11&_ss=r
  13. This is the screen it hangs on when trying to install the raid driver. I let it sit overnight and the machine must have rebooted because when I woke up this am the screen was back to the main windows installation screen.
  14. I don’t see anywhere in bios to set the volume type…
  15. Making progress…. Got the raid drivers from the zenith product page and now when I load the rcbottom driver it clears all the drives in the windows install screen. However, now when I try to install the RC raid controller driver I’m stuck on the install screen. The green progress bar just keeps flashing….
  16. Yea and that’s the weird thing. I’ve gone that multiple times, in the right order and it still only shows 1tb of storage instead of the 4tb in raid0
  17. I’m one revision older than the latest bios for that board, and nvme raid is already supported. I think I’ll try initializing the raid once I have windows fully installed and updated. Then Use the raid xpert software in windows to try to initialize and set up raid0. Because I’m getting no love in doing it through bios. If that doesn’t work, then oh well. Back to 3tb for me….
  18. Hey guys… at about my wits end with this. I’ve looked and fooled a few different websites on how to get my 4x nvme pcie adapter working in raid on my x399 system. as you can see in the pictures, I have a 4tb array in raid0 set up in the bios I downloaded the latest raid x399 nvme did drivers and tried installing them in the windows installer multiple times. But no matter what I do, windows never sees more than one of the 4 drives in the array in the windows installation screen. I should be seeing all 4tb. I’m making sure to install the did drivers in the correct order, and the drive size never changes. anyone else experience this? im running a 2950x on a zenith extreme. I’ve got 2 1tb drives on the dimm.2 and one other next to the PCH (that I one is my boot drive) really want to get this system up and running with 7tb of storage but i just can’t figure this raid thing out. any help would be appreciated!
  19. Nice. I'm a big fan of these 1366 xeons... Building a rig tonight for our living room that has a w3690 oc'd to 4.3. and it plays Valhalla at 90+ fps on max settings...
  20. Only drawback is tdp limit. On the ATX boards you're capped at 95w. So the fastest Xeon you can put in it is x5675... Which is was I have. You have to step up to the EATX board to run the 130w x5690's.
  21. Nope.... Standard atx. Z8na-d6 was the first ATX form factor dual socket mobo for the consumer market. Super micro released one shortly after.
  22. Proof an old system can still rock, even at 4k res. Dual LGA1366, 96GB DDR3 ECC, RTX 2060... in GTA5 all high settings, 60FPS @4K res. And this is my rendering pc for work. Added a 1x wireless and bluetooth card, a pic usb3.0 card, and a 4x sata 6gb expansion card.
  23. Alright... so the rtx2060 is in.... getting 30 to 40fps more in the gtav benchmark @ 4k res. Thats good for now. But I'm not a big fan of closed cases these days. So I found a 2020 extrusion rest bench on Amazon. I really just need it for the longer extrusions and PCIx hold down brackets. I'm a big fan of my P3 case.... and I want to have this x58 rig open air as well. And when you have a 3d printer.... well.... So the board will sit in the vertical. The power supply will be on the base, and under that will be trays for the Adata ssd and firecuda sshd. Just waiting for the motherboard standoffs to arrive... then just need to get my hands on a fully modular power supply. Also I need to come up with some front panel I/O, and a mounting bracket.
  24. Heres the Benchmark w/ the W3690 @ 4ghz
