ctrl F doesnt work

ASUS Sabertooth 990fx. Pressing CTRL F during boot does not bring up the RAID utility. Any suggestions?

sata ports must be set to raid mode in the bios first.

The bios is set to RAID and UEFI bios is also set.

No doubt too late in this case, but for the benefit of others, pressing CTRL F during bootup won't do anything if the BIOS is set to UEFI.

You need to boot into BIOS advanced mode, then select "Advanced" -> "SATA Configuration" -> "SB SATA Configuration" -> "Board SATA RAID ROM", and change UEFI driver to Legacy ROM. CTRL F will now work if you reboot. After making changes, you can revert back to the UEFI driver.

My ports are set to raid mode, driver set to Legacy ROM (tried both), and I'm hitting ctrl + f at post screen, still isnt working.. brings me to normal bios every time. Did that solve it for you or what?
Thanks

I had a similar issue with a different Asus mobo (M5A99X EVO R2.0). The solution for me came by accident when I had long given up on needing the RAID utility.

My monitor (a BenQ) seems to wake up a second or two slower than some other models. The RAID config message is only on screen for about a quarter of a second and by then it's (almost) to late to press Ctrl +F. If I'm really quick I can sometimes do it.

It was only when I connected an old Dell monitor to troubleshoot an unrelated problem that I had sufficient time to reliably press Ctrl + F and enter the utility.
