Your system runs an Intel i7 6700 CPU with a B250 PCM motherboard, and the BIOS lists Optane Genie as supported. The driver warning about incompatibility suggests a possible mismatch in supported CPUs or firmware version. Check your CPU model against the latest BIOS updates and ensure you're using the correct drivers for your specific chipset.

Sure, that's a bit confusing. I didn't enable anything in BIOS thinking it was the 7th generation. Also, Optane Genie isn't just a RAID setup—it's more than that.

Thanks for the question. It’s surprising it’s set this way even though my board works with 6th gen chips. I’ve disabled it myself now. Haha!
