The i7-6850K has 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes: http://ark.intel.com/products/94188/Intel-Core-i7-6850K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz" rel="nofollow - http://ark.intel.com/products/94188/Intel-Core-i7-6850K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz So there is more than enough PCIe 3.0 lanes available for video cards and other devices. Beyond that, it depends on the specific X99 board you will be using, and how it allocates the PCIe lanes for the M.2 slot. All X99 boards are not the same, and you did not mention which X99 board you will be using. All you need to do is understand the PCIe lane allocation to the PCIe slots and the M.2 slot, and use the appropriate slots. You should have no problem running a video card at PCIe 3.0 x16, with an M.2 SSD (also unknown to us) at PCIe 3.0 x4. Knowing which X99 board you will be using will allow us to determine which PCIe slot to use for a video card to run at x16. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

ty I'm good, was asking before installing vid driver. Everything was like pulling teeth for clean install of w7. x99 Taichi fw 1.4 i76850 HyperX 3000MHz OCZ RD400 GTX1070G1 next question. the RD400 is running hot, hotest component by 10C. It sits in M.2 slot closest to cpu, in vid card air exhaust. It has OS installed. Can I move it as is to the 2nd M.2 slot and boot machine, so far its the only drive installed? and whats with the super slow POST and having to press TAB key to boot ? |

You can use the RD400 in either M.2 slot, makes no difference for booting an OS. I have an RD400, and they do run on the warm side, that's normal. If mine is below 40C, it must be cold in the house, and it's not even the OS drive. All M.2 SSDs run warmer than SATA SSDs, and the RD400 run about 4C - 5C warmer than a Samsung 950 Pro. These M.2 SSDs have no metal case to act as a heat sink, so they will be warmer. You can put a small heat sink like those used for video cards on the VRM chips, on the SSD controller chip, the one closest to the gold contacts on the circuit board. The SSD controller is what runs hot, and what the temperature reading you get is from. If you had the version of the RD400 with the M.2 to PCIe slot adapter card, it would run a little cooler, but not 10C cooler. Super slow POST? Yes, welcome to X99! A lot more going on with an X99 board, more SATA ports, more PCIe lanes, more memory slots, dual network ports, WiFi, etc. Slowest board to POST I've ever used, but that is normal. One more thing too, NVMe drives take longer to POST on any mother board. Try having more than one on a board, takes even longer. The need to press TAB to boot is not normal. Have you set the boot order in the UEFI? You may see multiple entries for the same drive, which one is first? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

OK tanx I think I will move RD400 to other slot then. It will have more open air there. Its reporting 53C. I believe boot order set, still aquainting myself with Taichi and uefi. All things at auto, ram is an xmp profile. I will be setting things up without auto selections, OC'ing things. Later on. It took FW flash nicely, guess I will disable gui screen and see........

So, doing some agonizing here. Fighting between uefi understanding and usage, and w7 issues. W7 no longer really supported.... As long as I use auto options, in bios, things run. But I tried to begin setting things on manual and crisis. It seems that so much of bios is power saving and core dancing, all of which I do not want. This is for a desktop pc so I do not need laptop power saving stuff. I want to disable as much as I can and get strictly performance power. 1 cpu freq for all cores thats constant and unchanging always available. Setting up for OC'ing. Also the RD400 has some issue, lots of power loss alerts. It also claims an error in format on SSD Utilities SSD tuner tab. I set over provisioning at first but now the error.??? It hangs on windows gui screen every 4th POST or so. I re-installed OS to drive a 2nd time because of this but issue persists. Yes I secure erased the drive 1st. FW 1.4 i7 6850 RD400/400A What settings should I use for a UEFI video card? Once OS is installed, do I still need the CSM setting uefi or can I disable using fast boot?? Do I need ME for home use? Considered safest highest BCLK? any known best bclk with multiplier combos? do qpi freq vs ram freq ratios apply the same as they did for the X58 chipset? Any good guides been looking and........................ ty

figured out most things, now. still want to know about ASROCK and BCLK's tho? still have an issue with hanging on the windows start gui, out of bios boot, not consistant but it is persistant. an answer or link sure would be helpful.

I used method 1 from guide here and it appears that w7 installed in legacy mode. I do not have the efi partition setup. Using a NVMe drive, selected uefi in csm ..........new build so all stuff new but cd rom is not uefi. I installed W7/64 SP1 from uefi usb stick. M.2 drive connected, cd connected, usb connected. So what do I need to get system to install 100% UEFI?

Windows 7 has a problem with UEFI booting installations. I mention that in my guide that you used. I also describe how to deal with it. I'll do that here for you. Win 8, 8.1, and 10 do not have this problem. Also, Win 7 does NOT have a built in NVMe driver. You will need to load an NVMe driver before your NVMe SSD will even be recognized by the Win 7 installation program. That means selecting a Custom installation. You'll also need to have the OCZ NVMe driver ready to load. That is NOT just the unzipped OCZ NVMe driver package. You must have just the x64 folder and its contents, on another USB flash drive, which is where the Win 7 installer will look for the driver. This is the download page for the OCZ RD400 NVMe driver. You'll need to select your drive, and then scroll down to the driver download area: https://ocz.com/us/download/" rel="nofollow - https://ocz.com/us/download/ UEFI booting is mainly the use of a different boot loader, the program that runs to load an OS, including Windows. There is the standard "Legacy" boot loader, and the EFI boot loader, used for UEFI booting. Both are just program files. Turns out the Win 7 installation files have the EFI boot loader program/file, in a folder that is different than where the Win 7 installation program is coded to look for it. So it can't find it, and defaults to a Legacy installation which does not use the EFI boot loader, of course. Why MSoft never fixed this, I have no clue. It is possible to fix the location of the EFI boot loader file in Win 7. It takes some work but can be done. This guide describes how that is done, which is part of the guide's UEFI booting instructions. You'll need to scroll down to those instructions for Win 7. Don't skip the rest of my post, I'm not done yet. This is it: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html The description starts in step 10 of Option 2 in the guide. You can't just ignore the rest of the guide, and techniques for UEFI booting. You must be very careful fixing the location of that file, if it is not perfect, it won't work. I've done it once or twice, but I've also had failures creating the fixed installation files. One of the reasons I said goodbye to Win 7. You'll be creating a USB flash drive installation media for Win 7. That is a must. When your Win 7 USB flash drive, with the FIXED Win 7 installation files on it, when you run the Win 7 installation, you MUST select the entry in the boot order that is, "UEFI: <flash drive name>". Otherwise, it will not install as a UEFI booting installation. Plus the standard things for installing Windows are still needed, mainly not having any other drives connected to the PC besides the target OS drive. You can now understand why most users of NVMe SSDs don't use Win 7. MSoft might not be updating Win 7 for that reason, they want us to use Win 10. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

If I understand, then I did all you say. I did not use ruefus to make install usb tho. The usb I used had a disc image copied to it. In mobo bios boot, I chose the uefi partition for boot. Is this different somehow.? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html Maybe I am misunderstanding what it is to uefi w7. The link explains my pov at moment. I am having system blurbs so I am searching for basic stability. I have a working MBR intall but...........want to exploit all the current hardware/software advances. Just not W10. Can I use a w10 install to create the GPT partition scheme, then install w7 to it? I did this using a w7 install to ready a SSD for XP, worked great.

well started again. However RUFUS GPT for UEFI will not boot. tried 2 different iso's a lot of conflicting info from OCZ, windows seven forums............... somehow the drag and drop copy of iso made the 3 partitions, but says it cannot install to primary because its GPT. A rufus will not boot period. Seems as if its only allowing MBR...................

tanx for link. But now theres some controller error. Windows setup will not partition disk. Tried two 64 drivers DL's from ocz. Its boot utility, USB, I made is only thing that will boot efi and run. I also do not get why RUFUS is useless. Its the biggest link given to get a bootable USB install image for GPT and it does not work. Hell my 1st USB attempt was a drag an drop, it looks same on a stick, same uefi partition notations ta boot. Not to mention the tech is fairly old now, it ain't new for sure. All iso images have efi files all over install so what the hell...................... If I do the manual diskpart method, and it does not work....................more wasted effort.

this taichii??????? whats with the usb boot sticks. ssd utility perfect w10 was able to make partition np, w7 will not boot, yes I made the settings, used same ms tool to make both boot sticks, tried several iso copies .,..... what am i missing. I had w7 installed mBR and now it will not do that. is there a proper method for usb sticks???? they do not appear to be PnP. is the manual method with diskpart dog listed the only true option?

I told you installing Win 7 in UEFI booting mode is not easy. Most people give up trying. Using Rufus, or the manual steps, to create the Windows USB installation flash drive is only one small step in the process of creating the USB installation USB flash drive. The manual method in wardog's link, which is also shown in the link I provided earlier that shows the Rufus method, is exactly the same. Either one works, but IMO Rufus is confusing. Frankly, a USB flash drive fresh out of its box is formatted perfectly for this purpose. Don't forget, all those formatting steps applies to the USB flash drive only. The only reason that is shown in the guide is because people format USB flash drives themselves in different ways, and the manual formatting insures the flash drive is in the correct format. It really is not hard to do. Using the Rufus method, you don't need to drag and drop the ISO file to the USB flash drive, which is easier for some users. The manual USB drive creation, using the drag and drop method, is really a Select All of the ISO folders, then left click, and select Mount. Then you left click again, and select Send to..., which should have the USB flash drive in the Send to list. I cannot tell by your posts if you did things in that way. Another thing, if the USB flash drive is larger than 32GB, they tend to not work correctly. What size is your USB flash drive? Regardless, both of those methods does not fix the Win 7 ISO installation file layout. You mention the drag and drop of the ISO file (after mounting it?), which is one of the steps in creating the USB installation media. IF all you did was drag and drop the unmodified Windows 7 installation files to the USB flash drive, then it won't work. Maybe you have things set up on the Win 7 flash drive now, I'll assume that. Next: When you start the Win 7 installation, go into the UEFI/BIOS, and go to the Boot screen, and check the Boot order. You should ONLY see the USB flash drive listed there. Now check that you have an entry for the USB flash drive that is, "UEFI: <flash drive name>", the important part being the "UEFI:" part. You MUST select that one for the installation. Select it, Save and Exit, and the installer should start. With Win 7, you MUST install the OCZ NVMe driver during the Win 7 installation. You must select a Custom installation in the Win 7 installer. You will NOT see the RD400 recognized yet. In the Custom installation screen, select the Load Driver option. You'll need to have the OCZ NVMe driver on yet another USB flash drive. Don't worry about formatting it unless you changed it from its standard formatting. That driver is here, but we are not done yet: https://ocz.com/us/download/" rel="nofollow - https://ocz.com/us/download/ Select your Region, then Client SSD, then RD400/RD400A. On that page, scroll way down until you find the Drivers download. Be sure it is Drivers, NOT firmware. When you click the download button, it will be the ocznvme-1.2.126.843_whck.zip file. Once you have that file, unzip (Extract) it and open the resulting folder. The ONLY thing you want to copy to the other USB flash drive is the x64 folder. The rest of it is the Windows installation programs, which will NOT WORK for you, they only work once Windows is installed. But that only works for versions of Windows that have a built in NVMe driver, like Win 10 or 8.1. On the Load Driver screen, find the USB flash drive with the X64 driver file. Select it and let it load. DO NOT remove the USB flash drive with the X64 NVMe driver on it until the entire Win 7 installation is complete. No need to remove it at all. When the driver loading is complete, go back to the Custom installation screen. Now you should see the RD400 listed. If not, something is wrong. If you have the RD400 listed, if it has any partitions on it, delete them until it is ALL empty space. Now find the New button on that screen and click it. A window will appear saying it will create partitions, just click Ok. When it is done, you'll see four partitions on the RD400. That is how it should be. Finally now, click Next for the installation to actually begin. If it fails during that point, the Win 7 installation USB was probably not right. There is nothing wrong with the Taichi board. I've installed Windows 8.1 and 10 on NVMe SSDs on ASRock Z77, Z97, X99, Z170, and H110 boards, as the OS drive. As I've said all along, Win 7 is much more of a pain to get installed on an NVMe SSD, particularly if you are doing it for the first time, as you are. Hope this helps, let us know how it goes, or if you have more questions. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

tanx todays struggle. The issue with all the boot failures from stuff appears to be due to the fact that usb must be set to uefi only. Then it will boot. I got a rufus copy with GPT. It loads w7 install, makes partitions, 3, then proceeds to tell me it cannot format the partition, error 0x800424C. I'm not a pro here. The uefi is all new to moi. Takes me 3 or 4 reads to get things to coagulate. Over years I have built all my pc's. As far as taichi goes I might just be moving to fast when changing sticks. I have taken to killing power and waiting for board leds to die. Its POST is faster, it always POST's, its just aquireing the right steps for this board that are tuff. Parsec your guide is great. It installed MBR 1st try but I want the new so.......and there was some inconsistancies in performance, read where uefi is suppose to step up things a notch with hardware. Time for a TAICHI owners thread ASROCK. Time to update some stuff to 2016. The manuals are useless, unreadable due to poor printing, little cheap on the ink.

Different iso image, different USB stick, RUFUS 2.11 GPT for uefi system. Fat32 4096 same result, creates 3 partitions, fails to format a partition. 0x8004242C error It is partition 1, 100MB, that refuses format. Diskpart no good cuz without ocz driver, drive not seen. cmd with install only sees the 2 usb sticks. So its a common error from 2 different tries, 2 different sticks, same system.

Besides the content of the manual, which I'm not saying is bad, if you can't read it, you can download it in pdf format. I have all my ASRock board manuals on every system I use, including others that I don't own, but for general reference. Here is the Taichi manual: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Taichi/#Manual" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Taichi/#Manual I'm not sure if you are saying the Taichi manual should have a section about installing NVMe SSDs, or installing Windows in UEFI booting mode (which can be done with ANY SSD, and I do that on every Windows installation I do), but consider this: Does the manufacture of the NVMe SSD provide a manual with their product, that describes how to install Windows on it? In the case of the OCZ RD400, I'll let you decide for yourself. Here are two guides they do provide: https://ocz.com/download/product-brief/OCZ_RD400_Product_Brief_English.06142016.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://ocz.com/download/product-brief/OCZ_RD400_Product_Brief_English.06142016.pdf https://ocz.com/download/drivers/nvme/Windows_NVMeDriver_UserGuide_English.07112016.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://ocz.com/download/drivers/nvme/Windows_NVMeDriver_UserGuide_English.07112016.pdf If you can find another guide that does, I'd be thrilled to see it. No offense, but why is a mother board manufacture responsible for providing instructions for the use of another manufacture's product? If their SSD (in this instance) needs special treatment to install an OS on it (which it does), why aren't they giving us instructions about that? Samsung and Intel are not much better, if at all, than OCZ in this regard. It is not the board that is the problem, it is using a NVMe SSD. They are different, don't use the SATA protocol or drivers. Any manufactures mother board would be the same, if not worse. SOme of the problems users have with other manufactures boards and NVMe SSDs is just crazy. ASRock has actually been the leader in UEFI booting and in providing the M.2 interface for NVMe SSDs. At one time, the Z97 Extreme6 was the only mother board that could support M.2 PCIe SSDs that need the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. I have one of those too. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean about the Taichi manual not being up to date. One more time, the Taichi board is not the problem. I have two NVMe SSDs in my ASRock X99 Extreme6/3.1 board. Two Intel NVMe 750s, one is the OS drive, the other a data drive. I have two Samsung NVMe 950 Pro's as the OS drives, one on my Z170 Extreme7+ board, the other in my DeskMini 110W PC. I use Windows 10 on all of them, among other reasons because it can be installed for UEFI booting without jumping through hoops. Sorry to drag this out, but true UEFI booting guide time. Again, doing this with Windows 7 is not easy, you absolutely MUST fix the location of the EFI boot loader folder, or it will NOT WORK!! The guide I gave you earlier describes how that is done. Everything else in my previous post still counts, nothing you can skip. The following is just additional information. Two ways to enable UEFI booting: 1. Find the CSM option, should be in the Boot screen, at the very bottom. By default it is Enabled. Click on it to see its options. Find the Launch Storage OpROM Policy option. Set it to UEFI Only. Save and exit. 2. This method requires your video source to be "GOP" compatible. That depends on your video card, if it's fairly new, it most likely is. Some cards I know will be, others not sure. Intel integrated graphics is since Sandy Bridge. What do you use? Find the CSM option, should be in the Boot screen, at the very bottom. By default it is Enabled. Set CSM to Disabled. Save and exit. Again, when installing Windows, choose the "UEFI:..." entry. Only have the RD400 connected to the PC, no other SSDs or HDDs. For Windows 7, you'll need that OCZ NVMe driver to load during the installation. Hang in there man, let us know what happens.  ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

OK Got beyond the 0x8004242C error. Your guys diskpart option triggered me to find chit, Anyways using diskpart I was able to manually install partitions. The issue was that the sys part 1, must be a minimum of 260mb. So install begins, but what happens is that after it reboots out from install process, BSOD. The bios push the RD400 to 1st boot, windows gui starts and bsod. its passes to fast to get the code.................. 2 separate install sticks, 2 separate iso's, same crash. Video card is a GTX 1070G1. its has gen 3 selected, video op rom policy legacy. If I could just get that bsod code.............. |

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean about the Taichi manual not being up to date. Bear with my frustration. What I mean is that there seems to be certain options in the bios that must work together in order to work with hardware. Being a DIY'er, definition of terms is not enough. That manual is merely a definition of terms. Same as text in bios. ie: enabling uefi only in USB tab legacy usb options. Soon as this was enabled the pc saw uefi usb sticks as a boot disc. Guess I'm the Taichi guniea pig......................

I'm sorry but do you think what you are dealing with is isolated to the Taichi board? The answer to that is a resounding NO! Are you the only person in the world that has a Taichi board and an NVMe SSD? X99 is not a new platform, its been available for two years. If anything, the UEFI of the Taichi board is based upon the experience of two years of using the X99 platform, and will be easier to use than the two year old UEFIs. The Taichi is just a new model of X99 board, nothing has changed in the chipset over two years. None of this is new, it has existed for years. I've used UEFI booting for years on SSDs that didn't even need it, because I prefer to actually use the capabilities that UEFI firmware provides. The one UEFI option that enables UEFI booting (CSM) is set by default to BIOS/legacy emulated mode. If you would have followed my instructions, you would not need to set that USB option to UEFI Only. But, there is more than one way to accomplish it, although given your results, it's not working for you, as it is simply not enough. Which USB ports are you using? If they aren't the USB 2.0 ports on the board's IO panel, you'll have problems, since Win 7 does not have a built in USB 3.0 driver. Plus a new board will have less than perfect functioning USB ports until an OS is installed on it. So you've never had to use a PS2 keyboard and wired USB mouse with a new mother board before? I have tried, over and over, to put you on the right path, but you seem to refuse to believe me. Either that, or you cannot explain what is happening to you so I can understand it. I get it, you don't want to modify, or find it too complicated, to modify the Windows 7 installation media. I provided a link to a guide that has existed for years, since Windows 8, that describes in cookbook form how to do it. I cannot do better. Or you don't believe me that Windows 7 needs this modification. I gave you step by step instructions on how to install Windows 7 once you have modified the Windows 7 installation files. I have done this myself a few times, although since I know how difficult it is with Windows 7, I abandon it long ago. When I tell you I've installed NVMe SSDs on my ASRock X99 board, is that a lie? I've installed an NVMe SSD on a Z77 board, that existed before X99 existed, and supports NVMe only via a Beta UEFI update. Yes, I have frustrations too. You are trying to install an OS on an SSD that uses a completely different protocol than a SATA drive (NVMe) and trying to use an OS that existed and was replaced before NVMe SSD existed. Don't you expect there to be a learning curve in this situation? Plus you are doing this for the first time, in the most difficult way (using Windows 7), on a mother board you are using for the first time. You barely tell us what you've done, just that whatever you do, it doesn't work. The errors you are getting are the definite signs that the Windows 7 installation files were not modified correctly. Or something else is wrong. Such as... You mention some video, I never gave you a link to a video. I have no idea what its contents are, or if it is correct, or if you did it correctly. You mentioned things that you did that have nothing to do with fixing the one folder location that puts the Win 7 EFI bootloader in the correct location, which is the method I suggested. The video seems to be doing it a different way, which may be fine, but may not fit in with the rest of my instructions. So now I am responsible for that? I learned this by reading that one guide, which is great but does not cover other topics, that I DID tell you about. But the main thing was, I did do it DIY. I never posted a question in a forum. I figured it out myself, and frankly, it is not at all difficult. As I've said over and over, it's Win 7. I don't know what else to tell you. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

I have tried, over and over, to put you on the right path, but you seem to refuse to believe me. believe you, I did exactly what you said, didn't work. Read the guide multiple times, didn't work. great post on berating me, but I followed the guide. I do not know what else to say. I 'm not complaining I want info, this is ASROCK yes? I put up error codes and no response, I'm sorry but...................... ps where in the guide do you say enable usb legacy uefi only? where does it discuss making the system partition 260MB? Every hardware setup has its quirks, but I have a software glitch, to say I have not given info is just deflecting the issue.

Spyknee, please bare in mind that we have no idea what steps you followed, if you followed them correctly and what your level of experience is. All we have to go on is your word. This issue is a frustrating one for you as well as those trying to assist you. All the errors you are getting indicate you are not following the guides correctly, there is simply no other way you would be getting them unless your drive is defective which by your posts it appears not to be. This isn't an insult or anyone berating you, merely a fact. Moderators here are not required to provide assistance, our job is to keep the forums clean, friendly and spam free. All the assistance we offer is by choice to support the community, we are not paid for any of this. Parsec has clearly spent a great deal of time and effort trying to assist you. It is only natural that he would be frustrated by the errors you keep reporting. Parsec is very knowledgeable in this area and has a passion for fast storage. I don't think you will find many people more qualified to help you out. My advise would be to take a step back, clear your head for a bit and then reread the thread, guides and other materials and start over, slowly, step by step. This isn't a simple issue with a simple solution, many professionals have issues with this kind of setup so don't be discouraged that it is taking a while to get right. Once you have done it you will have achieved something very few home users have  -------------
