I have 3 problems with this mobo:
The first one is that in Samsung Magician it can't recognize the SATA 3 port, and shows I'm using IDE instead of AHCI. That can't be true because in the BIOS it is set to AHCI. When I switch to IDE I can't even boot and have a BSOD.
The second problem is that the built in bluetooth is very slow and has very short range. I have to hold my phone on the IO shield to start transferring and 3MB image is being transferred 30 minutes. Wi-Fi is working fine and I haven;t installed the antenna. I installed the Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth driver on the motherboard support page.
The third problem is very slow posting. My POST time is 25 seconds. My other PC with Asus Z170 Pro Gaming only has 9 seconds POST.
Any suggestions?
 
Solution
You have to install the antennas to get the full range of both the wifi and bluetooth.
With my Hero Alpha, I can get about 13-15 feet with a bluetooth headphone with minimal obstacles.
25 seconds sounds about right for X99 boot times if you have CSM enabled. You might have something that is increasing the boot time.
