need help with asus maximus x hero bios settings.
just got a brand new ssd and did a fresh install of windows. 

what settings do i need to configure in the bios?
all i have done so far is load the optimized defaults. this system is primarily for gaming. 

pc specs:

mobo- asus maximus x hero
cpu- intel i7 8700k w/ noctua cooler
gpu- zotac 1070ti
ram- corsair ddr4 3200mhz 16gb
ssd- samsung 970 evo plus
psu- evga supernova 850 g2
enable xmp. run stability testing.
if that is all good and you want to now overclock the cpu then it's time to make a new thread in the overclocking section.
re-flash bios using usb stick if you can get that far.
if not reset option and steps like clearing cmos and pins.?
new mobo or try manufacturer.. hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

cheers,
d\_know\_wd :) Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. it’s been my experience that the cpu alone cannot achieve the rated ddr bandwidth on the agx xavier; presumably you need to use both the gpu and the cpu to saturate the bandwidth.

perhaps the gpu alone could do this, too, with the right workload? i haven’t checked. Go to the control panel and check the mouse settings and click on defaults to reset the settings if ever someone changed it! just normal use may be a bit of light to mid gaming and small projects with photoshop i also want to try and work with adobe video editors i'm a student after all

honestly, all of these laptops are really just designed for web browsing and office. none of them are going to be able to play current aaa games. some indie games, but not current high end games. 

i would go with this one:

hp i5-7200u 8gb ddr4 1tb amd radeon r7 m440 4gb ddr3 760.52 usd

mainly, they are all about the same and it is cheaper. but this one has enough ram and dedicated gpu to do some light gaming. the 7500u model just has a higher clock cpu, it is not worth an extra $120. it is a dual core cpu, so video editing will be a challenge.

the 8250u is a 4 core/8 thread cpu. but with integrated graphics and 4gb of ram, those will be your bottlnecks in most cases. the extra threads will help with video editing, over the other cpus, but you may have issues due to limited ram. <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006685/server-products.html>

btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows there is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.

hence we are closing this topic. if need further support, please open a new one.

thanks

hi,

is the default audio setting from hdmi not able to achieve what you want?
