Hello, need your help.
I have this board + w5-3435x.
I've installed 2pcs sn850x 2tb in cpu m.2 slots ( m.2_1 and m.2_2), but they dont work. No indication on disks as if there is no power.
I see in user guide that cpu m.2 slots dont work on w-2400, but there is w-3400.
i have single PSU on 2000w.
Pcie power (8pin and 6pin) connected.
I tried bios 1502 and 1801.
What else could influence this behavior?

Does XMP work with the latest bios or the one you have?
I have been using this board since about march with 2495X and a 2455X CPUs.
I have 4 sticks of SK Hynix Dual Rank A-Die (32GB each) that is rated at 5600 JEDEC, and the PMIC is adjustable for increasing voltage.
The Memory speed selection is GREYED OUT.
Someone mentioned disabling SVID to adjust memory speed, that DID NOT work for me.

I want to also add, that even though I am using 5600 Jedec speed memory, after reboots the mobo runs it at 4800 speeds.
which is what the cpu is suppose to do, default to it's default memory speeds (4800 for Saphire Rapids).

Hello and Thank You in advance. I am running ASUS Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE Bios 215 and Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids QYFS windows 11 not booting unless in safe mode with networking. Attached image of my C-states. I have ASUS intel driver and Nvidia driver installed. No windows updates.

Any ideas why it hangs in regular boot?

Thank You,
Mark

I had a similar issue when first installing windows, it seems to be a conflicting driver issue related to ASPEED drivers. What resolved for me was installing windows offline, once in windows disabling graphic drivers inc. Nvidia/aspeed and than installing nvidia driver's leaving aspeed drivers disabled. Basically stop windows from updating that specific aspeed driver or from enabling it.

Thank You. I installed offline and intentionally did not install the Aspeed driver as I was aware it was not compatible. I searched on my install and I have no trace of Aspeed. Thanks for the great suggestion. Mark

Thanks for the quick reply. Still no change. Thank You
remove the PCIe GPU and try, if it works normal you have nvidia /aspeed issue, well known issue.
( or disabled the Generic Microsoft Basic Display Adapter if you can get into windows )
note this is not issue with ASUS and ES, this is behave on all board with ASPEED, Nvidia and Windows 11.
