X870E HERO questions

Hello everyone!

I try setup X870E HERO  with R9-9950X but got some confuses:
Bios 706, latest at this moment. Video card not used yet, just setup on table for adjusting.

1. Under big heatsink installed 990PRO 4tb. It works well, but when i try install windows 10 or 11, it show one disk as 2 physical 2+1,6TB. after installing windows 10/11, windows and magician show it as one disk 3.6TB, but AIDA64 extreme (from Asus website) show it as 2 physical disks...

2. when i try setup memory parameters from advanced tab, it always ignored and overwrite from Extreme parameters, same as ignored EXPO profile etc. All time for set parameters manually need edit it in both places. and in extreme overclocking memory parameters looks like from DDR4, where motherboard for DDR5, for example i can`t set CL=40, got error like "parameter should be reliable".

3. If i try install 4x32gb, it after long pause up to 30 minutes!!! setup DDR-3600 mode and always goes to BIOS in recovery mode.  Even if I repeat low speed settings, similar as boot happens, anyway got recovery mode. Where 2X32 woks almost as expected.

4. 2x32 memory runs at 1.4V, ok, OCCT passed, but a little hot, i setup 1.3V for experiment,  system was reloaded several times, all looks like ok, just not set 1.3V. Only over one hour, even i forgot about it, it really switching to 1.3V with Windows loading fault.

5. Is it punishment from ASUS? armory crate just temporary show system performance, but then ask register product and instead parameters (temperature, clock, voltages etc) show advertisement.

6. Is have any chance in future find drivers for USB and WiFi not only for Windows 11?

Hi....

1. Can you provide a screenshot from disk management in windows? this would ascertain whether it has been partitioned correctly..

2. you should just set be able to set memory parameters from Extreme parameters, and not have to enter them from both places

3. 4x32gb is very hard on the memory controller, can you confirm you memory make & model and if they are dual rank sticks (chips on both sides of the dimms)...

4. if you can run 2x32gb are you referring to your memory temps or cpu temp?

5. do not run armory crate as it has so many issues that you will be going round in circles

6. latest drivers can be had from:

regards

Thanks for your answer.

1. I really confused. Maybe it related to specific versions of windows 10. Now i try to make photo of windows installation and was confused. because installation not asking driver's disk and newest version of Win 11 and one of old version Windows 10 show in setup single disk as need. Maybe because before I put installation USB drive to back panel... Now on external USB on front panel.

2. No any chance, it completely doesn't work. Even if all parameters set in "Extreme" tab manually.  
for example, adjust memory, clock, PBO in extreme and advanced tabs equally, save to profile. run test, something fail. Ok, make change in setting trough BIOS. reboot, hangup, safe mode, restore parameters from profile, same as was fail. reboot, hangup, safe mode, restore parameters, manually again write all same parameters in advanced tab. reboot, success, tests success WITH SAME SETTINGS as fail before!

3. sure, no chance run up it, ADATA XPG D300. In listings for this motherboard haven`t -D300 model.
when 2 modules it show as DR, when 4 moules it show as SR. Best result what i can see, with this parameters any test fail. Now looks like found "mixture" when stable pass any heavy tests at 6200 2x32,

4. CPU doesnt matter, fail can happens when average 60C same results when 95C. Memory usually heat up to 80C on heavy tests, but using turbocompressor for cooling and keeps 25C at any load - fail absolutely same.

5. I have also TX5PRO notebook (R9-7940HX, 64Gb), Armory crate + AMD adrenaline crash operating system (any action like open Microsoft Edge, pointer lagging fans full speed, CPU max temperature), only full reinstall operating system, and never think about this software packages. Thanks G-helper. 
As I understood in BIOS some similar problem, part of setting from AMD, and part of settings from Asus and BIOS not know which settings use? some parameters if search appear 2 times, but have case when absolutely same parameters can found in 3 places!

Hi...

You should be able to set memory timings/speed from the Extreme Tweaker menu as shown here:

Yes, i do it, but it does not work.
meanwhile on old computer X570 HERO (latest bios at this moment, 4006?), situation opposite. There work settings from Extreme but ignored setting from advanced.

on X870E HERO (0706 BIOS), looks like settings will be implemented from different places depend how system start, by power-on or by resetting. Here has topic about restore memory context, probably it is same issue.

Mainly first question solved. XMP and EXPO doesn't work with this memory and/or motherboard/bios.

Just can advise try both ways, to bring up memory in advanced and extreme mode.

like manual mode, set desired frequency, adjust mem voltage and MC voltage when it power on and later pass testing at most relaxed settings. Then can adjust strict memory settings.
Awesome difference between Advanced and Extreme, and it stable!
But need to be ready catch nightmare "yellow lamp and code 15", trying to start can take up to few days!

doesn't start extreme, restore defaults, try advanced, or opposite. Complete doesn't work - change memory frequency. Frequency relative speed does not mean bigger better. it linked, by quite undefined proportion.

sorry for photo, i still not fell like HERO for swap it with my working computer 😅 

Just left question, is have something in BIOS for prevent heat runaway CPU cores?
Now situation with mine set, if run heavy test, it hold CPU clock equally to most hot core, Core 3. I make curve undervolting, -10, -20, -30 for this core,  and looks fanny racing between core 1 and core 3 who faster reach 95C and clock down whole CPU. What reach 95C and reduce clocks for whole CPU, even when another best core just 60C.

even if well visible core1 and core3 well undervolted, and power like 16W, where all other cores 18,5W - and it have temperature less almost 15-30degress.

But at medium load first CCD reach 5700MHz, second 5400MHz, and temperature within all cores 72 +/- 2C. (CPU overclock not used, just curve undervolting, new 360 AIO with TF9 interface)
Use liquid metal or nitro colling in my case bad idea.
