Just did a new rebuild (I do one every January - Last build was R2X/i7 965 Extreme 3.20Ghz), and I am LOVING the new style and features of the R3X over the R2X, but I am having a few issues in which none of the guides, support, etc, have helped with (And yes, I went through about 200 posts here trying to find answers :rolleyes:) ...

Issue #1
Cannot get 6G/s on the two 6G/s SATA ports!
I have the latest drivers, BIOS, etc, but I am only showing speeds of 3G/s, no matter what - Is there an option I missed in the BIOS to activate it?

Issue #2
RC Bluetooth refuses to connect my phone (HTC Evo 4G) to my PC!
I followed every guide there is out there, and I have been able to connect to the phone through the computer via Bluetooth to transfer the RC zip file, and installed - The phone is paired with the PC, but as soon as I attempt to connect via the phone, ROG on the phone says "Cannot connect" - I have re-installed drivers on my PC about 100 times, as well as uninstalling and re-installing the RC Bluetooth on my phone, to no avail - Am I missing something here?

If anyone can help solve my problems, I will be forever in your debt - I don't want to start pushing the system until I know I can control and monitor it no matter where I am 😛

Your system specs show no drives support SATA 6GB's you must have a SATA III drive in order to see the speeds.

Intel Core i7 5930K @ 4.8GHz, Asus Rampave V Extreme U3.1, Kingston HyperX Fury 2666MHz 32GB DDR4 ( 4x8GB ), Nvidia GeForce Titan-X SLI, Creative Labs E3 USB Soundcard, Samsung 950 Pro 512GB M.2 NVME, Corsair AXi 1500i PSU, Corsair 900D, Corsair K95 RGB Keyboard, Logitech Proteus Core Mouse, Acer Predator X34 @ 100Hz, Sennheiser Gamer Zero, Windows 10 Professional

The last 2 WD's I just got with everything else were supposed to be 6G/s - I specifically bought 2 new HDDs just FOR the faster speeds, and was told that they support 6G/s speeds by WD support (I called them first about the speeds, thinking both drives might be bad, and they told me that it was most likely a BIOS setting that needed to be enabled) 😞

EDIT: The two new drives are WD Caviar Black 2TB (3Gp/s - 6Gp/s)

Have you checked the jumper on the back of the drive? As it has a jumper to go from sata3 to sata6. And you're using the two red sata ports for the sata6 also i assume. Those would be controlled by the marvel controller in the bios. Set the marvel controller to AHCI mode. This is all in the onboard settings tab in the bios.

Two issues with my new R3X
