Since you mentioned it, now you're in charge. Just pm a mod. Unless there's a maximus vi owners club or something

 

I am Military so I won't have time to maintain a Club Thread.

I was just in shock that there isn't already a thread for this board!

The last person I saw ask "Where is the owners club?" Ended up as the keeper of the RIVBE club. I was mostly joking, maybe someone else who wants it will join in, I would if I had a MVIG. I do have a MVG and it is an awesome board, though.

I am def looking forward to mine!

 

I recently bought the Asus Maximus VI Gene and I have some question if anyone has the same board.

In device manager i seem to have an Uknown device and I can't see to find what it is, I think its the Intel GPU but im not sure but I have a GTX770.

Does anyone have this to or could look in his device manager?

 

I have now purchased a new computer and my choise of MB was this one.
I am keen on overclocking and my previous attemps on the sandy bridge was successful thanks to a great guide in this forum.
That was with my Asus P8P67Pro and i5 2500k. A guide specific to that.

Where can I find a new awesome guide for overclockng Haswell with this motherboard? With all juicy information to do anything manually.

 

Yeah I can't find anything on Maximus Gene VI anywhere, it's crazy. Everytime I look it up the full-sized Maximus VI comes up or Gen V or IV. Is it not that popular???

Also saw an update 1-17-2014 for our MOBO's.

 

Noticed that update too. Will try it before starting my oc. I did found some other guide. Ill guess I go with that one.

 

Funny, I just built my first Micro ATX board and chose the Gene VI. It's so small and cute compared to my Crosshair V.

I'll take a look tonight at mine.

 

i read the manual about updating the BIOS. It says I need a DVD also? If Im not having a DVD-drive what do I do?
I thought a single USB-stick would be enough to update BIOS?

Edit, sorry, found a solution, ASUS EZ Flash 2 was the solution for me. Sorry for this post!

That's what I used today to update to 1301. A thumb drive.

 

My build is done! I will put some info about it.

I used the Fractal Define Design R4 black edition Case with Asus Maximus VI Gene Club.
Everything went fine and the system is up running.

I have a BIG cpu cooler, the phantek ph-tc14pe.
It fits nice in the R4 chassi, no problem at all.

I could also use non low profile RAM sticks (Kingston 2133Mhz), I thought that the cooler would give me problems there, but it fits nicely.

BUT!! the cooler blocks the PCIE Slot 1, so I had to place my GTX 780 Graphics card in the PCIE x 2-slot.

From what I have understand, the second pcie slot only runs at 8x? Is this a big difference for me?
Can I change som settings for the pcie x 2 slot? I have seen settings such as "GEN1", "GEN2, and "GEN3", will these settings make any performance boost?

You copied the title or there is a club board? haha.

Hey did you guys see this other thread...

http://www.overclock.net/t/1432316/no-asus-maximus-vi-gene-club

 

Lol, really dont know why it says that

Do you know anything about the Pcie settings and performance?

Sorry I should've addressed that. I was told that the second slot is x8 and first is x16. I have SLI which supposedly runs at x8 for each PCI-E slot. I think the way the lanes are created are how they have to be. In other words, no software tweak etc for making the second slot x16.

As far as performance difference, I'm not sure. Maybe a few frames less? I don't think it's that significant, but I could be wrong.

Also, I've never messed with the Gen 1, 2 or 3. Maybe it means PCI-E 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0?

If you look into the slots you'll notice each lane has copper in the first shot but only the first half has copper in the second slot. The second slot can run at a max of 8x only

Yup that's exactly what gen 1 2 3 means

 

Should I set Gen 3 then on slot 2?

It depends on what your card can handle. Putting gen3 when using a pcie2.0 card might cause problems

You can do that or leave auto. I left it at auto.

 

Compared to the V gene we miss out on esata, display port, and most importantly solid caps for audio and a 1500 sold cap for audio. Did Asus downgrade audio quality from the V?

Well that sucks. I hope not, but based on what you said...perhaps? Or was there a method behind the madness?

 

I have one I love mine! BIOS is easy to easy, and the AI suite is pretty slick!

Maximus V Gene audio:


Maximus VI Gene audio:


One of the main reasons for my purchase was the audio. We miss out of the headphone amp and THX and solid caps and some other stuff that was of offered on the MVG but not MVIG. We also don't have the gold-plated audio jacks. I feel like Asus really downgraded the audio... I'd get an MVG instead but they're discontinued.
