Ok I'm having a couple of issues with my maximus iv gene-z:

eSATA doesn't work. I've tried isntalling the Jmicron drivers but nothing. It doesn't show errors in the device manager. I found a couple of post about this very same problem but no answers. Checked the bios an it is on AHCI mode. I'm using win7 x64. I checked with two external drives that also have usb and they work fine.

Are usb 2 devices recognized in the usb 3 ports? I don't have any usb3 devices but none of the my usb 2 devices work in the blue port.

Lastly my pc reboots one time before booting into windows. When I switch it on the lights come on and I can see the status changing in the numeric LED display, it goes to a "70" code and reboots immediately, the second time it goes all the way to that code but continues all the way to windows. If I manually re-start the pc it does the same procedure: all the way to the 70 code, reboots and then all the way to windows. This happens after I used the auto tune feature that overclocked my 2500k all the way to 4.6Ghz and I left it there (it is "bronze" stable since it passes LinX 5 times and two hours of prime95 small fft and 100% memtes). If I load the "asus optimized parameters" it boots just fine. This is not really causing a problem but I want to know if this is normal or somebody else has seen this behavior.

I haven't tried the eSATA but I am having the USB3.0 issue. Anything I attached to it and it does not get detected but when I attach my ipod, it gets charged but my windows does not see it. Please inform me if this an issue....

Weird part is that I built a media center with asus pro AMD FM1 chip and the usb3.0 detects everything but not my asus z68 chipset.

I read early in the thread that folks had a hard time installing Ai Suite. My problem is a bit different. I've installed Ai Suite to take advantage of Fan Xpert so that I can temporarily change fan settings when needed without having to go through the BIOS (#0801). After about an hour on the system I get the message "Ai Suites has stopped working" I checked the status and here's just a brief of what it stated:

Problem: APPCrash
Fault Module: KernelBase.dll

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Ai Suite from Asus site (per Asus Tech), but I continue to get this message. Has anyone had this issue and corrected it or is a waste of time? I really like the fact that I can make temporary changes just before I push the computer.

Thanks...Al

Just bought the ATX Z68 DELUXE...



2600kcpu.

Where can I go for overclock info.

What is a stable dependable overclock?

Is there reccomended settings for my set up I can just input the typical settings in BIOS and be done easy ?

Help me shorten my learning curve.. this is my first Sandy. I am coming from a LGA775 Core 2 Duo E8500 so I need to get up to speed quick.
