ASUS Zenith II Extreme TRX40

[chemcup]

I just bought this motherboard and the 3990x. I have a problem with it that when enable the D.O.C.P or change the ram voltage it will fail to post it post in the safe mode
Any idea what to do to fix it?

This motherboard has 2 major issues with cpu and case FAN control

1/
This motherboard has FAN Spin Up/Down delay setting issues.
Fan speed is constantly changing... this rapid variation creates extra noise...
Just opening Chrome will make your fans spin faster immediately for few seconds.
FAN Spin Up/Down delay settings are available in BIOS and FanExpert but it don't work in NEITHER.

Reported in

and
Support case E2001041256 (opened early Jan - still no useful feedback)

2/
As reported by macmus and myself
Fan Extension Card II is not configurable from BIOS, only accessible in Windows through FanXpert.
This same card is accessible and configurable in BIOS on other ASUS motherboards.

@ASUS representatives in this Forum could you take these 2 issues seriously please?
These are 2 major flaws in this high end card that can be fixed with a simple BIOS/Software update

Same issues are propagated to Asus Zenith Extreme II Alpha.. this bios of them needs a serious rework.

The ZIIE only supports default RAM settings...i.e. F5 defaults with the 3990X

Don't ask me why....

Ok but why when I change the voltage of the Ram from Auto to any value this happens not when I change the memory frequency

[Arne Saknussemm]

Stock means stock...i.e. 1.2v and 2133 and jdec timings...

at 1.2v I have had success running 3000 and 3200MHz memory...at jdec timings...

Again don't ask me why....just stating current state of play...

Unsurprising as Alpha version is basically the same card with better VRM

ASUS support is still unhelpful on these FAN control issues

What a crock that ASUS is limiting memory to "stock" speed on 3990X on all boards except the Alpha. Incompetence at its best by ASUS once again lately.

This review show being tested with 3990X at 3600 MHz RAM. He has a Beta BIOS 0021. Anyone know where to get it?

I have contacted ASUS for this memory problem they answered me that I should buy the Alpha because this board doesn’t support CPU and memory overclocking. I am sure 100% now that ASUS deliberately crippled the BIOS to force us to buy the Alpha if we want to upgrade to the 3990x.
