Hello! Recently bought an older i7-6700k and Asus Maximus VIII Ranger combo from my friend. It was working fine when he sold it. I just can’t get the computer to boot with ANYTHING in any of the 2 full PCI-E slots. It just goes into a bootloop. If I remove my GPU and plug display into MOBO it...

I have a couple of questions about the ASUS Hyper M.2 Gen5 PCIE-to-M2 storage adapter card that I wasn't able to figure out from the spec sheet and documentation. This card has a 6-pin auxiliary power input socket (same as some graphics cards) and I can't figure out when you actually need to...
