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 https://www.serialcables.com/search-largeview.asp?cat=&tier=&id=1727&search=true 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....*

Hi Caos,
We'd like to know if you were able to perform the test without the video card and if you already received the Intel cable and tried it. We'll be waiting for your response.Regards,Nestor C
