Case - old school coolermaster nvidia edition - love this thing purely for the size and airflow.
Mainboard - EVGA Z270 FTW K.
CPU - I7 7700 K.
Corsair Vengance LPX 16GB 3200mhz.
Graphics card - EVGA 1070 GTX.
Corsair H100i V2 AIO.
O/S Windows 10 pro.
 
Running everything at default speeds.
Have to say i'm well impressed with this thing, cpu is straight outa the box and not delidded and its running idle @29 0c.
While playing the only game i have installed sofar PUBG i'm only hitting top temps of 49 0c which is nearly half the temp of my old I7 920 @ 4.1 ghz.
 
However i do have a couple of minor but niggly peevs.
 
1) the fact the mainboard has only 1 USB 2 header which is currently running the pump for my AIO which inturn removes the usb header for my case front panel ports, is there a way i can regain functionality of the front ports, i'm not bothered about usb 3 so is there a usb 3 to usb 2 splitter i can buy ?.
 
2) everytime i shutdown the system and reboot i'm greeted with the "please insert bootable media or enable bootable device msg.
I then have to boot into bios hit F10 and reboot to get the system to boot from my ssd.
Also in the Bios i seem to recall there being an option to boot via UEFI or legacy atm i'm running on legacy ( sure i'm supposed to be running UEFI) but if i select that option and reboot the system just boots to the bios - is there a reason for this - should i be using UEFI instead of legacy and if i have for some reason messed up is there a way i can rectify without having to re install this B/S O/S again.
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Paul...

Thanks Quadlatte, I'll grab 1 also with regards to the uefi problem I'm having I have updated bios to the latest version, I set bios defaults, my evo 850 is in sata port 2 the 6g 1 and my DVD is in SATA port 2 express 1.
If I enable legacy mode in boot options it shows my DVD and ssd but if I set uefi all I get in boot options is hard disk and cd/dvd.
I can install via legacy but like I said it just boots into bios when set to uefi.
Also as i have already installed win10 via legacy would i need to delete the partition on my ssd and start as if it were a new drive ? (Just a thought)
Any help please ?

Paul

the easiest and fastest thing to try is to boot the system with your Windows DVD of Windows USB stick and choose the repair option which should fix the Boot manager but you can only do this when the BIOs is set to UEFI. 
 
And therein lies my problem i cannot boot from the dvd unless the system is in legacy mode ( unless there is a setting that enables this, although would be very surprised as i assume these systems are suppose to run straight out of the box.)
 
If i change to UEFI it just loops back into the bios and although under the advanced tab it details the SSD under the boot tab it just shows as cd/dvd and hard drive with no details.
If i change back to legacy it again details the devices normally again.
Am i just blind or stupid, missing something obvious here.
Would i need to start from scratch and completely delete all partitions on the SSD.
 

Thanks Sajin.

So delete all partitions on ssd reboot into bios change to uefi and it should then boot from DVD and install to ssd ?

Hope your right mate as that's a lot of installing for nothing if it doesn't work but I'll give it a go.

Again thanks for the replies I'll keep you all updated.
Btw do I need to change to gpt durring install or can it be done after?

Paul

Again thanks very much Sajin and rjohnson11 guess what i'll be doing on my friday off :(

Try booting directly to the cd drive to get the windows install rolling.

I can't upload pics of my bios as I don't have a working rig now and the pic size on my phone is to big to upload.
Arrrhhggggg lol.

Should secure boot be enabled with uefi or disabled ?.
Also if you look at the ss I uploaded you can see the difference between what I'm seeing under uefi and under legacy.
Don't know if that helps any.

The ONLY way I seem to be able to boot from the DVD is to set legacy.

LMAO damn you Sajin now I gotta get outa bed just to try this lol it's 01.44 am here lol



This is what I get.

However when set to legacy I get.

This is what I get.

Hmm. Update your bios to the latest version (latest version can be downloaded here) than try doing my steps posted in post #16 again.

Ooops. Sorry. I linked the wrong bios. 

Your board has triple bios support. Try the other two bioses along with the steps posted in post #16 and let me know if you get the same results or not.

Scratch that. Only the Classified K has triple bios support. 

No. It should still be detected. What do your CSM options look like?

Either way is fine when installing windows.
