Hi Chino,
i have tested your options - with no result.
Something is also weird. After i have activated the ASmedia Sata Controller, i have installed the driver in Windows 8.1. Without problems.
But in the device manager is no entry for the ASmedia SATA-controller, only for the Intel! Is that normal?
I have really set up many boards, also the ones, where i was an early adopter - but this board is bullsh....really.
How is that possible, that the Titan works only at x8 and a GTX 480 in the same slot with x16?
I think its the UEFI-Driver in the BIOS for the Titan, that is ****ty programmed. The GTX 480 has no UEFI driver support, so it works only as legacy device - and this works.......
This board is too early released!
Also the missing ASmedia SATA controller in the control panel..... and the need to activate it, to get a soundcard in the PCIX 4_1 to work.....
Please tell me, whats the reason for this, that i need to activate him, that the soundcard work in the described slot? As i said - this board is far from being stable - its a beta release.
Sorry for that conclusion, but i have never seen an Asus board with such low quality in terms of stability and usability.
I think i will send it back and try another one, i dont like to use more time with it, only to become the things to work, which are absolutely standard!
I cant believe, that standards as the PCIX lane config, are so problematic and also not logical engineered (like the ASmedia Sata Controller need for the PCIX 4_1 lane.....).
PLZ dont take it personal, its not youre fault - you are trying to help - and thats respectable and i want to thank you for that.
