AORUS Gen4 AIC Adaptor issue

[Escapenz]

Hello all,

 

so i scored a AORUS Gen4 AIC Adaptor for a good price but im having the issue of only 1 of my 2 kingston a2000 1tb showing up. Also the Adaptor is not showing up in Aorus storage manger. Tried the card in both my Top slot and bottom slot. PC is a 3900x in a steel legend x570. (From what i under stand i can run it in the bottom slot but only with 2x drives).

 

Anyone used one and know what i need to do ?

DOes your system support pcie bifurcation?

 

You need pcie bifcurfaction to use this card, and often only hedt system support this.

so if they both show in the bios it supports it

 

Does the drives show up in device manager? How about a linux live disk?

they do not show up in device manger but there is 4x in other pci device. 1 is PCI Encryption/Decryption controller and other 3 are just PCI device. Also now 3x of my HDD are gone offline but showing up in bios

Have to change BIOS to 1x8/2x4 with the adapter in the second slot.

After a few hours of fighting i manged to solve it. Little digging in the bios and a fresh install of win10 and all my drives are back along with my new raid 0 nvme drives in my card.
