Hi so i just set up my pc like 2 days ago.
My system specs
i9 - 7920x
32gb ram
2x 1080ti on first and third slot.
2x 970 evo 500gb
 
First issue i have is i cant do raid.
By default with raid enabled but pcie or nvme raid disabled. I cant detected both my nvme ssd but nothing shows up in intel rapid storage technology to do raid.
Then i enabled the option below raid, if not mistaken it was pcie or nvme raid enabled.
Then I only see 1 nvme drive instead of 2 when i check for nvme information in the bios. When i go on intel rapid storage technology to create raid it shows only 1 drive instead of 2. Then when i trying to mess with some settings found out changing the nvme lane from pch to cpu and reboot. I was able to detect 2 nvme drives but intel rapid storage technology on the other hand shows no nvme exist.
 
Next is my wifi card is not detected.

my amazon purchase link -
wifi antenna if it matters -
 
So this was my wifi card. I hope i didnt choose a wrong wifi card but it did fit into the slot perfectly. I have enable wifi card in bios.
 
Side not i have mt 2nd gpu in 3rd slot and it only runs in x8. I know it doesnt matter much if it runs in x8 or x16 but it these how it is suppose to be. Btw if u want know why i cant put my 2nd gpu in 2nd slot because my sli adapter i have right now only works if my 2nd gpu in 3rd slot which is a free high bandwith adapter from asus motherboard my friend gave it to me since he didnt need it.

    Side not evga oc robot is amazing im running on xmp profile 3466 on my kit and it auto oc to 4.8 ghz all core. I tone it down to 4.7 ghz for everyday use. Im so happy with how good oc robot is cause even if i manually tune in higher then 4.8 ghz i didnt notice some instability. I think evga should have the oc robot for all the other motherboard too. Its so usefull for beginners since they dont have to lift a finger and mess with the settings all day. I believe compare to oc robot, other motherboard manufactures who claim auto oc are just utter rubbish since i have used them in the past.

    Well i will order a new hb bridge to fix that but for the hb bridge i should get is it 3 slot spacing, correct me if im wrong.  I already bought a new lithium ion battery since i have cmos issue once in a while i turn on while maybe relates to the battery issue. For my ssd, fark me cause there is nothing much i can do now then just use the ssd as it is. Just a bumper when i just build a budget pc for my friend last week and he can raid 2x of his 970 evo on a b450 board with a 1700x. Here i am with the most high end mobo and cpu cant even do raid 0 cause its unsupported and no vroc key can help this. I doing a refurd for the 9560 now so i can order a 9260.

    I farked up i just ordered a 3slot hb bridge from nvidea when the bridge i just had was a 3 slot bridge which arrives this thursday. I went and measure the distance of the pcb in the current state when it is not in the correct slot. How did i farked up so bad. I emailed nvidea if i can return the product and they can ship me a 4 slot hb bridge. Chances i need to pay shipping for both ways. I am such a fool lol.

    Wifi issue solved installed a 9260 card works like a charm now. Changed the gpu to the 4th slot now both card reporting x16, now waiting new sli bridge. Raid problem solved, more of nothing can be done since the raid only works for intel intel sdd only. This is bull in my opinion. Changed to a new duracell battery just in case since a lot of users reporting dead cmos battery.
