Fan Xpert 2 is not compatible with X79 platform. At least not right now.
This is the feedback I received from Asus tech support, and I posted the original message in my thread as well.
This is a bunch of crap because the sabertooth x79 has a GREAT fan control suite of software that comes with it & is so powerful and versatile i see no reason the RIVE can't do it either. This just seems lazy and i'm upset with my RIVE enough as it is -having to spend 200$ on an aquaero to control fan speeds the way the motherboard software is lazy and doesnt let it do is pathetic, even with the better fan expert2 software, spending 200 on a fan controller (its the only one that can do what the sabertooth x79 fan control software did) is the reason I wont be getting an asus board for x99, or any other build later because it shows a lack of care for their customer.
Why put the best thermal management software on the mainstream product but NOT the enthusiast one that costs twice as much? To promote sales of both products? Who would put two x79 boards in one computer besides 0.001% of the population? Sure to get lots of sales that way, asus. Thanks a lot guys - I appreciate the effort here
