Very very unhappy with my Gigabyte z370 Aorus Gaming 7 (only got it because I scored a cheap Aorus GPU) so am going to switch motherboards. At the moment thinking about the Maximus Apex but not sure:
1/ Do the Maximus X motherboards have any problems with NVNe M.2 drives ? The Gigabyte BIOS wont detect my drive and their lame reply is to contact Samsung ( the brand of my 950 ).
2/ Have 4x8GB 2666 Dominator Memory sticks so maybe sell them and get either 2 x 8gb 3200 or 2 x16gb 3200 memoery sticks. Suggestions ?
3/ I realise z370 is relatively new but Gigabyte support totally sucks. So how is Asus support ?
4/ Have an old hero xi still chugging away without problems and my strix that I sold had the NVMe M.2 working . I hear that Aura isnt that stable but is Aura availabe in the BIOS like Fusion for my Aorus Mobo? and yes, Fusion and other Gigabyte apps are part of the reason I am dumping this mobo. So basically how are the Rog apps?
I will be o/c up to 4.8 ( have a i7 8700k ) using as Corsair H115i and I see the Apex has cool "insert name for electircal" stuff
will
