Excellent. Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for the replies. So you had no troubles running the 5900X on the CH7, just plug in and it worked?

I'm honestly a little torn about upgrading at the moment. Mostly because we've been told...

I've been trying to find real feedback (ie: reviews) where people have tested the 5000 series CPUs on a Crosshair VII (or any x470) motherboard to see whether it's working well, what the performance...

Glad to see the change of heart regarding bios support. I really didn't want to have to buy a new CPU+Mobo+GPU+(probably) RAM all at once again. At least this way I can stagger the purchases over a...

No problem. It took me awhile to realise that as well. I was looking for a 2206 bios for a good 5 minutes.

Anyway, I updated the BIOS manually and it worked fine. Just really disappointed that the...

Ok, in that case why doesn't Asus actually put that in the notes for the download. So frustrating :(

Its definitely the WIFI version. I've updated it several times in the past with no problems.

I use 7-zip to unzip the BIOS but I'll give Winrar a go just to be sure. Edit: Just used Winrar to...

How about, Asus fixing the tool they supply so their users can actually use it.

Because the instant reaction when I use it is that there is something wrong with the bios file and I'm reluctant to...

As the title says I can't update the bios on my Crosshair VII Hero WIFI. I'm trying to go from 2203 to 3103 using the EZ Update part of AI Suite and it comes up with "The model of the BIOS image...

I think I've finally resolved the GRID weirdness. Even deleting anything GRID related in the registry and file system didn't seem to work. On a whim I checked the BIOS on the 2nd last reboot and...

Well this is getting even worse, I've tried moving the files from system32 related to the GRID install out and a reboot just brings them back.

I've tried disabling the Asus Update Service using...

I had a popup (I assume from EZ Update) saying a new version of GRID was available and clicked to install it (hoping the flaws from GRID beta were fixed).

The install stalled at somewhere between...

Just to add to the crapness that is GRID... (sorry Asus but it's true).

I got a notification today that there was a GRID update available. I assume it came from EZUpdate since I wasn't actually...

Just to add to this update debacle, I checked both Grid and Ezupdate and they're not showing the Version 18.40.02 Chipset update or Version 9.2.0.87 Sata update that are available on the Asus website...

Boot up and go into the bios (Hit F2 before windows starts loading). Then once in the bios hit F5 to load defaults. That should revert back to your unoverclocked settings. However, if you've done...

The title pretty much says it all, but if more detail is needed. There is no obvious way for a user to revert the 5-way overclocking Optimization applied by AI Suite. It's not difficult to go into...

There are a few problems with updates I've been experiencing.

1. EZ Update has the update count wrong. I did an update check and it showed two updates in the selection area but said "There are 5...

Same build was stable @ defaults 1333mhz ram & 3900 on CPU. Tested with a bunch of things and about 6 hours of gaming. Used the Asus one click and it rebooted a couple times and set the ram to 2400...

And success... Had to move the Patriot SSD to the ASMedia Sata ports for some reason but it detects and runs just fine on that... just not on the Intel ones. Installed all the Asus utils and since...

Well, I've installed all the drivers and there are no devices in device manager with an ! anymore. A couple hiccups with drivers that wouldn't install, like the intel graphics drivers - I assume the...

Just to make things weirder... I tinkered with the PC for awhile last night, plugged things back in and tried rebooting with the system hanging at A2 each time and finally gave up and went to sleep....

Forgot to mention I tried with fast boot both off and on. I also tried the SSD connected to both the intel and asm sata plugs. No difference.

Also, tried with everything but the Corsair Link...

Just built a mostly new system;

i7-4770k
Team Vulcan 2400 16gb
Noctua NH-D14
Maximus Formula VI
Corsair Ax760i
Corsair Obsidian 900d
