X299 Rampage VI Apex & z490 Maximus XII Apex & x99 Sabertoothĭ5 combo/280 GTX/ VRM copper water block/280 GTX/ Optimus Foundation/ 1080ti FTW3 I do need to tread carefully here as I do not want to mess up any detection of my boot drive which would open up a whole new box of problems.Īnd no - I am not using a discrete GPU - using the onboard GPU with this motherboard install.ĩ940x w/Optimus Foundation & 10900k w/Black Noctua D15 & 5930k w/Reg-Noctua D15 I do have a card in PCIEX16_2 but it can be removed so that will be my next test. Found one video where the guy was setting up a RAID array using this card - but he did specifically mention that if there was ANYTHING in PCIEX16_2 - that would ruin the detection of drives in the card. Just after I posted this - I hit YouTube to see what else I could find and it looks like you are on to something regarding the PCIEX slots. That is nowhere to be seen in my BIOS or the manual. "The number of SSD's that can be detected varies with configurations of the PCIe X16 slots" Thanks for joining the thread! yes - I have that option set to Enabled within my z490 ProArt BIOS - but strangely - my little text blurb (At the bottom) differs from yours - it is missing this most critical item:
#2 HYPE CARD BOX SERIES#
Is there something major I am missing here in this disjointed series of documentation that is maybe making this look like it should be easy/obvious - but it really is not?Īppreciate any info from anyone who is/has used this card (preferrably in an ASUS board) and what you needed to do use/see more than one drive. Do I need to make sure that PCIEX16_2 is actually empty (right now it is not) to be able to see two drives via the Hyper card?ģ. I do not want or have any interest in RAID-in anything with respect to the drives on this card - I just want to them to show up as two normal drives? and I do not have the Intel RST option even turned on in the BIOS.Ģ.
#2 HYPE CARD BOX INSTALL#
"For Z590, Z490, Z390 and Z370 series motherboard, install IRST version 16 or above to use RAID on CPU function." Is there some major setting that I am missing - like maybe something completely off the range like this card needs to be in RAID mode or something to actually see more that one drive? For example - this bizarre note appears in that ASUS link when talkig about restrictions, requirements and so on: No amount of fooling around can make it show up.ġ. When the machine resets - I go back into the BIOS to see if the new drive is recognized and it is not. So I mount the new 2TB in the Hyper M2 x16 slot 3 (while leaving the boot drive in Slot 1 and Slot 4 stays empty) I remount the card and swing into the BIOS and set the Hyper M2 x16 setting to Enabled. if using just one drive like I am now - this setting was set to Disabled and everything worked fine. Compatibility of PCIE bifurcation between Hyper M.2 series Cards and Add-On Graphic Cards | Official Support | ASUS Globalġ - Clearly states 3 M2 drives "can" be usedĢ - Interesting notes in what will happen to PCIEX16_2 - it will be disabled if "up to 3" drives are connected to the card - when in PCIEX_16_1ģ - Head into the BIOS and "activate" the Hyper M.2 x16 setting to "Enabled". For the ASUS ProART z490-Creator - it appears via this link: I did some very deep study on the card - knowing that the bifurcation allowances for this card are unique depending on the mobo it is used in.
#2 HYPE CARD BOX PLUS#
Recently I added another Samsung EVO 970 Plus - a 2TB drive that I also wanted to house in the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 (V2) to get maximum speed on the drive (It's used for large audio sample libraries on my digital audio workstation). I have just a single Samsung EVO 970 Plus (500GB) install on the card and it is my OS drive and it working flawlessly - and oddly - is noticeably snappier installed in this card vs being installed in the actual M.2_1 socket on the board itself.
First some setup: I have a ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 (V2) installed in my ASUS ProART z490-Creator mobo - occupying PCIEX16_1 - the only slot capable of 16 PCI lanes.
