Maximus VI Formula 4-Way Optimization Error

Denoppo
Level 7
Hello Everyone,
After my Formula build and of course getting past my Bios issue (my fault of course) I would like to finish out by optimizing my PC. This AI Suite III is what sold me on this brand. By the way does JJ Make house calls? I watched his 4-Way optimization video on YouTube and it looks very easy until I try it.
My issue is at the very beginning I hit the Start Button to optimize and it takes me to a Warning Box - Do I want to continue warning screen of Yes or No? Should I even be getting this screen?
No takes me back one screen - presumably to set something which the only thing I set was naming my fans. I'll try not doing that next time and see what happens.
Yes reboots me to Windows where I have to sign in again and get an Error Message - Access Violation at address 00451314 and goes on to say Write of Address 000003A8.

Welcome to the club. I'm pretty sure that feature doesn't work on ROG boards... Not even sure why it's there if it only works on channel series boards

After watching JJ's video again the warning box is normal.
JJ's PC boots into Windows and then goes onto auto optimizing
Mine boots into Windows and after my password I get the Error Message.

Thank-you again Warmmilk and thanks for helping me out earlier. So I presume that I will need to optimize in a different manner and with a different routine? The AI Suite III that I have installed looks so alluring!!

Yeah, I got the same error after the restart. I started a thread about it. Didn't really get any help on getting that feature to work, I just decided to do a manual overclock

Warmmilk - not sure what you meant but the Feature is listed on the ASUS Website with 4-way optimization as a main Feature

Yes, I know, I'm disappointed as well, but I've yet to come across anyone with an ROG board that successfully ran the 4way optimization

I'm going to hold out for the Experts to chime in as I really like this cool feature. Hope they don't speak computer lingo code so I can follow along as a simple procedure would be nice. I'm sure a lot of people building their rigs are at the point we are at right now.

The only fundamental difference between JJ's build and my build is I have my rear exhaust fan on OPT FAN 3 header, 2 of my top case fans on CHA FAN 3 header, the third top fan on CHA FAN 2 header, both my Genesis CPU fans on the CPU FAN and OPT CPU FAN. I'll get some more fans later for a total of 6 case fans not counting the rear exhaust and CPU fans. Nearly anything seems to make some difference. I hope that fan headers and fan placements don't make any difference for the 4-way Optimization or creating the error code. If so I can make some changes to make it right.
