Just got my maximus extreme
is it possible to make an option in the bios for the asmedia sata ports for IDE, it makes installing xp so easy.
Also if I slipstream the ahci driver you guys posted should I be able to install from optical drive. it seems like it doesnt work during install but after install I can switch to the intel ahci ports. Does that sound right?
Sorry for all the questions but does the ps/2 port work with a splitter. Last night I could only get either the mouse or keyboard but not both at same time.
Either way thanks for amazing motherboard, I made an install with ahci driver before I got rid of my oc formula so I should be able to make an image and always use that.
But I'm have trouble with ps/2 splitter. Should a pcie usb 2.0 card work good?
ya that's strange, I tested a data file I saved yesterday and it worked fine using xp and z170 but my problem is that it gets stuck when trying to start.
This is really amazing, I have been drooling over all his 8800 scores for awhile now, what amazing core clocks. Also the guide and write ups you guys did were really helpful, thanks.
hey guys just started benching some aquamark on z170 last night with xp. Does anyone have the problem when trying to start the bench from the wrapper and I just get 2 big black squares, I have to kill with task manager and then try again and it works until I restart or close the wrapper. it's so annoying. Am I doing something wrong?
i don't have much rep here but at ocn I do. I'm always willing to help out so let me know if you still need help with this, I'm about to order one myself.
last night I was pulling my hair out because I am only scoring about 1450 at 4.6ghz, similar score on 7, 8.1, and 10. I should be around 1600 compared to other scores. This is with 2 dimms on oc formula/6700k. Will give 4 dimms a shot tonight.
Wow thanks a lot guys for all the advice and comments. What an amazing feeling it is to have all you guys comment on my score. Made me so happy when I saw it.
