Thanks Bill. I might just avoid going with Z790 until this issue is resolved. I agree, there should at least be an alternative option to the I226-V NIC but perhaps because of some agreement with Intel, they're forced to solely use it for most Z790 boards. From reading over at the Intel...

Hi all, TL;DR: Intel I226-V issues, requires a driver/firmware update or requires a hardware revision? I have been debating going for a Z790 build but from a lot of the reading I've done, it seems that there are a lot of people having issues with the I226-V NIC, regardless of what motherboard...

I disabled Secure Boot/fTPM a long time ago and don't use BitLocker or the like. It does seem to be tied to loading in-game but CPU has already been RMA'ed and behaviour is the same. I guess I could try running a basic boot/diagnostic startup. I'm able to reproduce the issue easily so I'll know...

I've heard and used LatencyMon before so it might be worth giving this another go. Thanks for the clarification on how PCIe data transfers occur. I suppose what I'm thinking is that the NVME, SATA HDD and USB devices are competing for those 4 PCIe lanes with the CPU What I'm thinking is that...

Sorry, I think I misread the BIOS versions on the Asus page. It is 4402. I think it was because I saw 4006 so I combined the two! :LOL: The BIOS was cleared/reset after the update so I don't think its a BIOS setting. I've already tried running RAM at both JEDEC (2400Mhz) and D.O.C.P. (3600Mhz)...

Yeah, I already updated to the latest firmware a month or two ago. So I managed to upgrade the BIOS. Strangely, however, it was marked as version "4402" in BIOS even though the download was noted as "4406" but it updated successfully. The behaviour is unchanged after the update. Still getting...

Hi Lutfij, Thank you for letting me know. My system is exactly as noted in my signature. Good catch about the BIOS! I would have never thought about this since up until recently, 4201 was relatively recent and still listed on Asus's website but the fact that it was taken down is a bad sign...

Hello all, I've been troubleshooting I/O stutters. So to explain my storage configuration, I have 2x PCIe 4.0 NVMEs (1 directly connected to CPU lanes, 1 through the X570 chipset), 1x SATA HDD, 1x DVD Writer optical drive. Internal USB connections - Corsair AIO USB cable connected to USB 2.0...

Thanks for the information and link. I don't think its a driver issue and I would rather not remove my second NVME SSD, connected through the chipset, as that would mean I would need to replace the thermal pad and I don't have any spare with me at the moment. Disconnecting the HDD could be...

I had my other 2 drives in there, an NVME and a HDD so 3 storage drives and then an optical DVD-RW drive. My primary NVME drive is partitioned, 256gb for OS and apps and the rest of the space as another data partition. Each time I installed Windows, I delete the OS partition and the ones...

I have tried this yep. Both with my current RAM kit, Team Group 2x16gb dual rank 3600mhz at non-XMP/DOCP and at 3600Mhz, as well as with a Kingston 4x8gb single rank kit, non-XMP/DOCP, DOCP 3000Mhz and DOCP 3600Mhz. All the things I've tried are in bulleted list in my original post

I have read that yep. OCP tripping on some PSUs but read from a source that the be quiet! 1000w+ PSUs should be okay. I referenced the PSU tier list as well. Yep, my sig is my system and I've done at least 2 Windows reinstalls at this point

Hi everyone, I have been trying to diagnose a system lag issue with my system and I'm at a point now where I can't figure out what may be causing the issue. Basically, I have noticed that at certain points when gaming or OS use, whenever I would load a program or app, there would be a lag or...

Hi Nemesia, My PSU is a Corsair HX850 https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/hx-series-config/p/CP-9020032-UK It had 7 years warranty so its just 1 year out now but I have used up until last weekend for a few months with my previous system without issue, it was...

Hi all, I'm at a loss with my new system. After about 10-15 minutes of playing Cyberpunk, my system shuts off. I ran HWInfo in the background to monitor temps and would alt+tab from time to time to check CPU temps. It would start out at 63c-64c and then slowly climb up to 70c and seems to peak...
