Your system does need to support PCIe bifurcation so that the x16 slot can be broken down into four x4 capable interfaces though. **Q: Will this work on the x399 roc zenith extreme board?** A: Your motherboard BIOS must support bifurcation of PCIe lanes. This is often named differently from brand to brand. The manual of Asus X399 ROG Zenith Extreme shows that 2 of the PCIe x16 slots can support bifurcation to 4x/4x/4x/4x. It seems that the feature is called [PCIe RAID mode] under "PCIEX16_1 Bandwith" option or "PCIEX16_3 Bandwith". So you must connect the Asus Hyper M.2 board in one of these two slots. I own a z370 motherboard, and my intel processor only supports x16 PCIe bifurcation to x8/x4/x4. So, in my case, I can only use 3 M.2 SSDs with this board. **Q: Would this work with new ryzen 3000 cpus and x570 boards?** A: I have one on Ryzen 5600 / X570 board and running RAID 1 on first two slots of Hyper card. **Q: Can we install this card on asus z10pe-d16 ws lga2011-v3 workstation motherboard? if yes what will be the settings?** A: If your motherboard supports bifurcation, it should. This is working with my HP Z640 which uses lga2011-v3. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 補助電源不要で使いやすい *by N***A on November 11, 2019* 冷却と見た目の目的で購入。M/B側で、PCI-E x16スロットの設定を、x16 → x4,x4,x4,x4に変更できないと、使用できませんので要注意です。ちなみにx8 → x4,x4とした場合は、No1とNo2のみ認識し、No3とNo4は認識しません。BIOSで設定できない場合は、No1のみ認識します。あとPCI-Eのレーン数も影響するので、注意を。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ とりあえず動作チェック結果良好。 *by カ***ー on September 18, 2019* アルミ製で放熱性はかなり良いと思います。冷却ファンもついていますが、ＯＮ／ＯＦＦ可能です。動作チェックを行っただけの状態ですが、次に作る新チップセットのマシンでＲＡＩＤを試そうと思っています。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ASUS M/B ではありませんが、認識しました *by ア***長 on June 15, 2019* 評価は、すごい放熱パネルとファンがついているので星5でもいいかなと思いましたが、まだ届いたばかりなので、星4としました。こちらのPCのM/Bはmsi製でチップセットはX299でASUSのM/B ではありませんが、BIOSの設定をすることなく、問題なく認識しました。M.2 SSDはIntel SSD660Pシリーズの1Tです。RAIDの構築はせず普通のドライブとして使いますが、もしRAIDにするなら、BIOSの設定やM/B上のVROC_HW_KEYというKEY端子に差し込むKEYを別に購入する必要があります。これをアマゾンで検索したら、なんと、2万円以上です。憶測ですが（RAIDは使ったわけではない）私のPCのM/BにもVROC_HW_KEYというKEY端子はあるようです。なお、マニュアルには何の説明もありませんが、M.2 SSDを本カードに実装して分かったことがあります。それは、M.2 SSDを固定するネジは２つで、大きい方はカード側に使い、これがM.2 SSDの台になります。こうして、もうひとつの小さいネジでM.2 SSDを固定します。これによりM.2 SSDは水平に実装できます。[追加]1か月以上使って分かったことやはりこれだけのハードウェアだとNVMe-SSDを3枚くらい使ったRAIDで使うべきで、こちらの環境にはオーバースペックだと思いました。安心なのはASUS製のマザーボードでVROCの設定項目のあるBIOSです。こちらのBIOSはVROCはあるものの、その先の設定が何もなく、NVMe-SSDのスピードもマザーボード上のスロットよりも、だいぶ遅い結果になりガッカリしました。同じPCIe経由なのですが、現実はこんなものなのかも。 ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 PCIe 3.0 X4 Expansion Card V2 Supports 4 NVMe M.2 (2242/2260/2280/22110) Upto 128 Gbps for Intel VROC and AMD Ryzen Threadripper NVMe Raid - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
