anyone can help me.
what about temperature pch crosshair vii hero with 9 3900x?
i don't want to build with x570 because that have fan on pch.

As I have water cooled GPU tends to be ~40-50C depending on room ambient, how I'm using PC, etc. I have seen some at ~70C where a GPU is say air cooled and dropping warmed air in area. Even those temperatures are not an issue for PCH.

Friends, please tell me. Can I put two m. 2 drives (SATA or pci-e) so that I don't lose 16x for the video card on the Crosshair VII motherboard? For example, install nvme ssd in m. 2_2, and m. 2_1 sata ssd in m. 2. In this combination of drives, how many pci-e lines will the video card have left? Will anything change on the pci-e lines if you put the Risen 3900x processor (for example).

I wouldn't worry about losing the x16 for the GPU. You're not going to saturate x8 let alone x16 quite honestly.

Just wanted to share this ZIP, order files by time, ~49hrs back to back mixed testing of 3800C16@1.35V.

I have used several kits of G.Skill, all Samsung B die, bins 3200C14, 3600C15, 4000C18. None of those have given me the OC buzz that the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2x16GB kit (BLS2K16G4D32AESB) have. Main reason being is for ~£100 I got 32GB of DDR4 with nice OC headroom and not lacking in performance vs Samsung B die.

Phenomenal value for sure.

+1 to bluestang comment.

I use 3x NVMe on C7HWIFI. One is fitted to M.2_1 motherboard slot, then I use the UEFI bifurcation setting to change a PCI-E slot to 4x/4x, using ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card I have 2x NVMe on there. My GPU only gets 8x and performs as it did with 16x.

There is ~2-3% on average performance difference on RTX 2080 Ti by going 8x vs 16x, link.

is there a later bios then 3004? not sure what issue is im on win 10 64 and sometimes it seems to hang for a few seconds opening a hard drive i ran every spy/virus checker im clean that way

Go to your Power plan settings, Advanced, then under Hard drives, change the "turn off hard drives after" to Never.

its been set that way, also cpu is 3900x

man i really hope they give good bios updates for this board when ryzen 4000 series hits,

also what are some good overclockable memory kits for this board??

[Novak921]

Is there any way to display the temp on the Q LED after boot? I see some other boards have it built into the BIOS as an option but not the VII Hero WiFi. Is Zenstate the only app available to use? Wondering if Asus has any plans to add it to a future BIOS update?

Thank you!
