Question 2

I have Vengeance 3200 RAM but I can't seem to get it running at that speed. Is there some trick to getting the RAM to run at that speed? I tried enabling XMP and it went up from like 2100 to 2700 I think but not up to 3200. What am I missing exactly?

Accepted Answer

After checking BIOS again it does appear to be operating at 3200 now. Not sure why it was showing 2700 initially but problem solved I guess.

Question 9

do the m2 slots when populated, disable any of the sata ports? if so which ones?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

The M.2 slots will not disable any SATA ports. So if you install an M.2 SSD, it will not disable any SATA ports.
