I have properly installed the Optane Hardware on to my Motherboard. In the Device Manager it can be seen. But whenever I am trying to install "SetupOptane.exe" it comes with an Unsupported Chipset error.
Please find screen-shots for further references
Kindly suggest or help in this regards.

Chipset is fine .. If you see the 2nd mark on IDE Controllers. But nonetheless I found the problem. My MoBo isnt Optane Ready. If in future ASUS patches it with a fix it just might work. I will be needing a new 300 Series MoBo.
 
so, you just confirmed my first answer. your chipset isn't fine for optane on that particular mobo.
 
@sid_90 On the 200 series chipsets, all of them support Optane. With 300 series chipsets as of today, H310 is excluded from the support.

If you have H310 then it won't work(actually it'll work with SSDs like 800P/905P and upcoming Optane H10) with the Optane Memory feature.

Also some crypto mining boards don't support it because they put all the PCIe lanes for the x1 slots.
