Nice! what memory kit did you end up getting

[Menthol]

Gskill 2X8 16GB 4266 19-19-19 1.4 volts B-die, supply is low, only kit available when I purchased was Grey/White

I have 2 Samsung 950 Pro 512GB drives mounted on the DIMM.2 card at the moment, Win 10 and Win 7 that I carried over from a M8E board, just updated the drivers, the DIMM.2 card and slot works great, it isn't a visually attractive solution but functionally works great
for Win 7 installation I used a USB 2.0 adapter that connects to the motherboard, the kind that used to come with motherboards years ago just because I have a couple laying around

may be better to get a couple USB to PS2 port adapters to use for Win 7

Also when I booted my board the LED's under the name tag were not lit, there is 3 jumpers on the board that turn on/off 3 sections of LED's, one was in off position, under the SATA ports looks similar to clr cmos jumper, after enabling the jumper all LED's work

Les do you have a link to Raja memory timing thread your talking about.
ty

Also congrats on being top in your league. Way to go brother

[Menthol]

No thread that I know of, it's in the memory presets in the bios, several extreme presets and one preset from Raja 4133 mhz @ 1.4 volts under New Samsung 2X8, with the new Samsung 2X8 being the high binned B-die kits, my system doesn't boot using his preset and my mem kit without relaxing the primary timing and CR2 instead of 1, he mentioned that the Gskill 32GB 4133 kit would be released soon so I am not sure what kit he was using at the time he made the preset but it is a good place to start from

Thanks, a lot of those points came from the TXP's and Time Spy now getting points

My APEX came today!!

And what a beautiful board it is. I cant wait to play.

Thank you so much AkaNe and all the guy's and gal's @ ASUS
This is the coolest prize I ever won



I am going to wait and Delid my 7700K. I took Menthols recommendation and picked up a Rocket 88 on Amazon. was cheap enough. Was 30 bucks and 8$ for the Relid tool. $10 for the Liquid Ultra.

Yes a nice touch for sure. Also they gave us planks to make our own. Plus a cool coaster and some really nice stickers. One thing I was hoping for was a hook up for the OC panel and yeah baby they did. A very nice board indeed.
