This is my PLX single card in slot number 2.



It has gone as high as 63C.


See that is SUPER strange man. I am running SLI and should be running hotter than you are when I rev those puppies up. As you saw in my picture I am 12C cooler than you and that was with me running crysis 2 for 10 mins to get the GPU to at least 42C for some added heat and my Ambient temp is 24C right now, so I am perplexed.

I am not running anything, just turning the pc on into bios and its deep within the 55C range then climbs up from there, not gaming just working in Microsoft Word. I may have to send back, will first reposition the card to slot one, then try to use the graphics slot switches located on the red square and disable any unused slots... wish me luck or its a disassemble and send back, just sucks.


Well think about it, how will that help? If you are turning on the PC and going right into BIOS it shouldn't even start at that high of a temp...............I don't know I am not a computer professional but it just seems strange that it would be already at that high of a temp. Are you sure maybe the sensor isn't bad? I know you mentioned above that at your temps it would burn to touch but try taking a piece of paper and letting it rest on the heatsink and then feel the paper. This will give you a general (NOT PERFECT) idea of how hot it is before you try to touch it. I am just throwing some idea at you because I want your board to work better than mine 😛 Let us know what is up after you take it apart.

Why is there no Auto Tuning option in AI suite 2 for the MVF?
There is only the CPU Level up button instead, unlike the lower-end ASUS boards.

Auto tuning looked like a great tool for setting a baseline for overclocking.

I was wondering that too. I looked all over AI Suite 2 but like you I only found the CPU Level Up option. Watching the various ASUS videos gave me the impression that Auto-Tuning would be there. Oh well, perhaps in a later BIOS revision. :rolleyes: No big deal.

Hmmm i wonder if anyone is facing the same issues as i am

Randomly on bootups i will experience missing my SATA Drive (SSD: Crucial m4 128GB) Missing and also the mPCIE Combo Card.

It started with my Bluetooth being unable to work then after i uninstalled it to reinstall it, the board hangs at start up at Error Code 99 or 98.

After turning off the power and restarting it, it could boot up normally and get into Windows.

However after this issue, i am getting Random Startup issues as my SSD could not be detected (even in BIOS). This requires another few reboot before it could work again. Each time i had to turn off the power completely and wait for a while before i could attempt again.

Is this a board issue ? or the SSD issue? and if the SSD could not be detected so is the mPCIE Combo Card.

There is no issues with the HDD (WD Green 1TB) nor the DVD Drive being unable to be detected. (All are plugged into the Intel Controller SATA Ports with the HDD in the 6GB slot and the DVD Drive in the 3GB slot)

My both my SSD / HDD are plugged into the Intel Controller Slots. BIOS setting is AHCI.

i5 3570K
ASUS Maximus Formula V
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB 1600 CL9
Crucial m4 128GB
WD Green 1TB

You might want to switch you HDD to a separate SATA controller/port. I had some issues with my Sandisk Extreme SSD not being detected. After switching cables around and trying different configurations, I have installed it alone on the Intel SATA6 controller, top port. One more note: Make absolutely sure your cable connection to you SSD is snug because mine was just a little loose (still connected though) and the BIOS failed to detect it. Reconnecting the cable solved that issue.

My mPCIe card is not working correctly either. It shows as "disabled" in the BIOS yet Win7 and Device Manager see it and I was able to install the drivers. The problem I'm having is that the connections are showing as "Network cable unplugged" and "Not connected" in Network Connections (I didn't install the BT drivers or software). I started a thread on it and RAJA's looking into it atm.

p.s. Your sig shows Maximus Formula V instead of Maximus V Formula. I transpose characters all the time so that's probably why I saw it. 😉
