Have onboard graphics disabled but despite this I have selected PCIE as my primary boot GPU and everytime I go back to the bios it's reverted back to AUTO !?

Maximus VIII Hero, I'm saving with F10 like I do with all settings but for some reason that won't stick on PCIE

Are you changing it on the advanced tab, system agent configuration, graphics configuration?

If render standby is enabled try disabling it.

It's already disabled.

Not exactly a problem, but I'm experiencing the same issue with this bios option.
I would have thought that bios updates might correct this, but it still persists with 2001.

Again not a big deal, but it's odd that it won't stick after saving.

I agree not a big deal but never had this problem with my previous P8Z77-V

As long as a GPU is present, the motherboard will always use it as the default display device. There is no need to modify anything in the BIOS.

try setting it to PEG instead of PCIE. I think PEG is the 2 grey PCIE slots on your motherboard, which are linked to the CPU PCIE lanes, while PCIE is for the sole full length black PCIE slot, which is linked to the Z170 chipset PCIE lanes.
