I'm pretty sure that the Asus AI suite will work on it. I don't have it installed now, but I'm pretty sure I used it while stability testing on the bench.
It's been a great board. It's the most expensive desktop board I've ever purchased, but I wanted a solid board with lots of PCIe slots. :) I actually just updated my system firmware (I just hate saying BIOS when it's UEFI) this last weekend for the first time since switching to it over a year ago - the interface now more closely matches the newer Z77 and Z87 Asus boards I have on the bench. -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2013 5:33 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Greg >>Asus P9X79 WS I built my new PC around the Asus P9X79 WS you recommended. It is a great board, worth every penny. It has every possible thing on it... except for ESATA which I need and bought a separate card for. The BIOS is great, the USB BIOS flash is great... I used that before I installed anything...but I was surprised that there was no Asus windows utilities for the board. I did get all the latest drivers for the board from the website but I looked around on the CD and didn't find anything special. Am I missing something? I went from a X9650 running at 3.33Ghz with 16 GB of RAM to this 4930K running stock with 32 GB of RAM. Encoding a TS file into a mkv file is three times faster . It is very impressive and well worth the extra cost of the CPU, and board. Interestingly I paid about the same price for the CPU in 08 that I just paid for the 4930K this month. The P9X79 WS was about a hundred dollars more then my existing ASUS Formula Maximus II. But my old setup has performed exemplary for me, without a single problem, running five years 24/7 ... and still going stable and strong. m
