I bought one of these to dedicate for a twitch streaming box but the PCI 3.0 slot won't run my 980 TI @ 3.0 and reverts to 2.0 which kills performance. I tried several things but couldn't get things working properly.
Other than the PCI thing the board works great and for the price it's nice.

Not sure what im going to do with mine but I can say I have it, may end up replacing my current intel server with it.
I'll probably get 64-128mb and a handful of drives and make a media closet htpc vm, and file host with unraid or something. Mostly just getting into this re-purposed server gear thing.. see what trouble I can cause..
Were you using GPU-Z by any chance? If I remember correctly GPU-Z doesn't report the correct PCI gen until the GPU is under load.
d'oh... missed it again. These things are going like hot cakes... Should've gotten one last month when I first started watching them...
You have a great point but with the new GPU-Z there is a small util that will stress the card in order to ramp up the slot to see if it changes. I also used Precision-X and another tool (forgot which one) to verify 2.0 speeds. There are some options in the BIOS to adjust what the PCI ports are set to but every time I changed one my board would not boot.
I also had an issue with it not wanting to reboot properly when my 980Ti was insalled no matter what. If i shut it down completely and powered it up the boot was perfect. Just another odd thing I found that had no solutions to.
I'd be interested if anyone has found some solutions
Not specific to this board, but some MBs needs 8 pin power connectors inserted in the 2 places and will not boot if only 4 pin connectors are inserted, even though all the LEDs still light up. Just check to see if this is the case.
Seller says bulk packaging but brand new, question for those who received theirs:
- Did you possibly get an I/O shield?
- RMA_main_page can you check your S/N here and see if there's any warranty left?
