Nzxt N7 Z370 Intel Optane

[Edayy]

Hello, I just purchased a 16gig intel optane but I'm failing to set it up in the bios. I've changed it to RST but fails to go into windows. Anyone have any ideas with this Motherboard?

I bought that exact board and I'm still awaiting delivery.
Have you updated the Bios yet?
On the NZXT site it shows them being able to support 9 series Intel chips, it also says Intel Optane ready.
Edit: check the downloads section, there is one for Optane.

Yeah I've updated the bios. I have a i7 8700 atm. I've been trying to get the Intel optane to work for the past 3 hours and no luck. When I try to install the program says go to bios and set it up but no luck

Check my edit.

Yeah ive downloaded the Intel optane and ran it but it won't because I have to set it up in the bios first before I can continue with the program

Finally I did it .! If your bios is set to legacy you need to change it to uefi but if you can't boot into it you have to change your disk to GDP i think its called and then you can get into it

Be wary with OC'ing on this board. Its not like most others. You're looking at some ECS contraption.

I've noticed with mine after I updated the Bios and booted with an i5-9600kf that the Bios is very basic.
I've yet to have a good play with it as I haven't had time, but I want to see what my current Ram will do as it isn't that great in my AMD system.
