M.2_2 Configuration not saved in bios

[Pteradon]

Hello,

I have tried to solve it and searched the web, but till now no luck.

The problem is, that i wanted to set the M.2_2 Configuration ( in the bios) to X4.
But when the system is restarted, it is set back to X2.

I have only 1 Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD 1Tb as a harddisk fitted on the mobo and it's capable for X4.
It's fitted on the M.2_1 (socket3) right below the cpu.

My mobo is a Asus Maximus Hero X and the bios is version 2402.

The settings in bios:

PCIEX4_3 Bandwith is set to default X2 ( tried to set it to X4, but no joy)
M.2_1 Configuration: [Auto][SATA mode][PCIE mode is set to Auto ( tried to set to SATA, but also no joy)
M.2_2 Configuration is default set at X2. ( Can be set to X4 but isn't saved to the bios and flips back to X2)

Hopefully someone can help me with this one.

If you only have one NVMe drive in M2-1 then why are you worrying about the M.2-2 slot. You can leave M.2-1 in auto or set it to PCIe mode. As far as I'm aware(could be wrong) M2-2 wont change if there is no NVMe drive in the slot. You can always move your drive to M.2-2 and see if that will get you X4. I don,t have the Hero X but my XI doesn't have those settings in the bios my IX does but both M.2 slots are in use so can't test it for you.

After reading your post, i feel really dumb right now.
Not realizing M2_2 stands for the socket. ( i was thinking about setting up the second step X4)

So thank you for this wake-up call 😄
Before someone else will post a image as a response, i will do it myself...

No such thing as a dumb question, the only dumb thing is not to ask it.
