Hi
I started building my system finally but ran into an interesting snag. firstly i have a Intel 750 1tb SSD the 2.5'' version so the connection is via a mini sas cable. i purchased the M.2 to mini sas adaptor to use on the motherboard but after installing the adaptor i found out the the plastic connection clip on the adaptor contacts the the Asus GTX 1080 that prevents the graphics card from sitting in the PCI slot properly..
i managed to find a solution instead of using the Hyper Kit is an M.2 to Mini SAS HD adapter. Rather than using the ASUS solution, i purchased a smaller adaperter from serialcableshttps://www.serialcables.com/search-largeview.asp?cat=&tier=&id=1727&search=true which was just enough to clear the GTX1080.
problem is now *the Intel 750 SSD is not recognised within the Asus Rampage Extreme V*bios nor during windows install. i updated bios Version to 3504 enabled M.2 in the on-board device configuration... *still no success ... if there something i am missing? i checked all cables are in place....*
