AHCI

No I don't. If download it from my mobo website and try to install it says "You are trying to install this software on an unsupported platform. Please contact your platform manufacturer or vendor for the proper software for your platform." On Intel's download page I don't see any RST driver for...

Yes it does. So far the only way I have been able to consistently force the drive to appear is manually updating the SATA AHCI Controller driver using "let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" to Standard SATA AHCI Controller. Then when I shut down or restart I have to do...

Yes I have the latest version of both drivers. And I do have hyperthreading enabled, im not sure why it says that on speccy. Maybe because P-cores/E-cores? NumberOfCores=10 NumberOfLogicalProcessors=16

I am having trouble with my SSD showing in windows. It always shows in the BIOS but wont appear in disk mgmt after booting into windows. Sometimes it will pop up when I hot plug it. Then if I restart or shut down, sometimes it will stay, but most of the time it disappears again. I honestly can't...

Just wanted to give a final updated incase anyone comes across a similar issue. I installed the Scythe Fuma 2 and my idle temps are now around 40, and when testing with Prime95 my temps only got up to about 73. I also tested a poker solve and temps only went to about 60 as opposed to the...

They charge another $8 for the LGA 1700 mounting kit but yes I ordered it as well

I went ahead and ordered a Scythe Fuma 2, as it seems that literally the only 280mm AIO that would fit my case is the EK-AIO which would have to ship from Europe.

I did this and with the fan at ~1600 RPM ran cpuz stress test and temps didn't instantly go to 100 degrees as usual, but got up to 97 degrees in a few seconds before I stopped it.

Thanks for all the help so far Phaaze. I am actually leaning towards an AIO now after reading some more about others having issues with LGA1700 socket adapters, and id rather just avoid the hassle entirely since Scythe and Thermalright make you pay for their adapters separately. I guess my last...

I am going to take the mobo out and ensure the mounting bracket is secure and tight, and check that the thermal paste is evenly spread (again), and if I am still having these temps I'm going to go ahead and get a new cooler. I was wondering what your recommendation would be to get? My case can...

That is not the case. I know the thread has gotten pretty long at this point but replacing the thermal paste was the very first thing I did, as indicated in my initial posts.

Hi Tommy, as far as I could it does cover the whole heat spreader. Its kinda hard to see in this picture but the metal from the CPU Fan Heatsink reaches and covers the metal case surrounding the CPU heat spreader. Hope that makes sense. View: https://imgur.com/a/JRah2Qm

Latest update: I changed a setting in my BIOS called "CPU Over Temperature Protection" and set it to the lowest value of 90 degrees, and ran a cpu-z stress test for about 10 seconds. Temps went right up to 100 degrees according to MSI Afterburner, but only said 90 degrees on HWInfo. 4.9GHz on...

Thanks everyone with the help so far. I will check the cooler profile and see if I can find a target temp next. Assuming however that it is not the issue and the cooler itself is the issue I have some questions: If I take the cooler off and the thermal paste is spread evenly around the cpu and...
