Issues with Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Ram and Keyboard
Hello, I'm checking for advice on this setup. I recently replaced the 1080ti in my old i7 6700k build with a new system. The main problems are: my Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard isn't responding at BIOS level—it just blinks the scroll lock. Other keyboards work fine. It also functioned properly on my Asus Maximus VIII Impact, and I confirmed legacy USB is enabled.
My second concern is that after installing a second 32GB RAM kit (priced at $150), the system entered safe mode immediately. I had to disable XMP and run at 2133 MHz. My BIOS shows the latest version, but it still froze. I tested both kits separately and they worked at 3200MHz.
What I have is: Ryzen 9 3900 H100i RGB Platnium Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4x16 3200 (two CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 units), Corsair 678C case, PNY Quadro P400 for Unraid main video, H.265 for Plex, Asus Strixx 1080ti 11GB OC, Samsung Evo 860 2TB Seagate 2TB SSHD (2.5"), plus three 4TB IronWolf Pro drives from a server with parity disk, and a Kingston 512GB Cache drive.
To activate BIOS mode on the STRAFE RGB, press F1 and the Windows Lock key simultaneously for roughly three seconds, then let go. A blinking Scroll Lock indicator confirms the setting is applied.
