March 29, 20178 yr Author Is anyone having USB over-current issues without putting Vaseline on the board, specifically on the fuses? Seems we have a lead.
March 29, 20178 yr Is anyone having USB over-current issues without putting Vaseline on the board, specifically on the fuses? Seems we have a lead. Hopefully you get this figured out, lost all my usb's now, guessing I'm screwed if bios needs flashing??
March 29, 20178 yr i have this isue with m8e and apex . for m8e i wash it in my dishwasher and dry it with an air compressor . i put many compressed air under the fuses and many water keep off . now i don't have the issue
March 29, 20178 yr Is anyone having USB over-current issues without putting Vaseline on the board, specifically on the fuses? Seems we have a lead. About to prep an apex for LN2 with vaseline, should i coat the fuses with nail polish first or is not using vaseline the suspect?
March 29, 20178 yr Author About to prep an apex for LN2 with vaseline, should i coat the fuses with nail polish first or is not using vaseline the suspect? Coating with nail-polish should work. A fix seems to be removing vaseline + heat the fuses. Easiest is to use a hairdryer or heatgun to ~70*C PCB temp.
April 3, 20178 yr Am i doing something wrong??? I boot xp in maximus viii extreme all fine. When i try to update the sata achi with the drivers in this thread it still says they are z170 drivers.I update them nonetheless but there is no way to boot in maximus ix... Tried 2 different xp x86 and on x64.All blue screen when loading in z270. Anyone has done it successfully?
April 3, 20178 yr yes,did u updated the sata controller,have disk,overwrite ok,reboot back in os,then switch platform?
April 3, 20178 yr I updated the sata controller from the specified folder z270 achi from this thread.It still says z170 when i do that but it installs new driver.After that it requests restart and i have tried both to switch platform before restart or restart in z170 and then shut down and boot z270...
April 3, 20178 yr Just figured it out!!! i had to overide to z270 while updating the driver!!! Thanks Alex,if you had not said so i would have given up...
April 12, 20178 yr Author BIOS for IGPU benching (higher voltage limits without LN2 Mode enabled) MAXIMUS-IX-APEX-ASUS-0009
April 14, 20178 yr BIOS for IGPU benching (higher voltage limits without LN2 Mode enabled) MAXIMUS-IX-APEX-ASUS-0009 Can you edit this with usb oc fix?
April 18, 20178 yr Author Can you edit this with usb oc fix? I can't, but our BIOS team has you covered MAXIMUS-IX-APEX-ASUS-0010-USBOC
April 20, 20178 yr My Apex often (50% of the time?) hangs on A2 when I have pressed the safe boot button after a crash. Any idea what causes this? It might be since I installed the a 6600K or 7700K, but definately didn't do this on same BIOS with 7350K and 6700K. I can't remember exactly when it started doing it, and it isn't a huge problem because a 2nd press of safe boot and it works fine... More curious if it's a setting within BIOS I am using or a bug/CPU thing.

April 20, 20178 yr Which BIOS? Could it be one of the devices plugged into the board like storage or add-in cards? BIOS is 0906. I have changed to a SATA SSD from M.2. Could that be it?
April 20, 20178 yr Author BIOS is 0906. I have changed to a SATA SSD from M.2. Could that be it? Try without it and see if you still get stuck at A2.
April 20, 20178 yr Try without it and see if you still get stuck at A2. Sorry, not sure why I asked that question. Will try it and report back FYI
April 22, 20178 yr the Apex isn't a big fan of E-die is it? any light to be shed on what the XTU setting does?
April 24, 20178 yr Hi Elmor, I left you a message about modding the Maximus hero IX latest bios with the latest EFI and Option roms. I would compensate you. JM
