So far loving my new x3 plus v3. This thing has handled everything that I've thrown at it. Company is needing me to encrypt my drive, which isn't supported with raid 0. So I think I'm going to inactivate the raid, split the drives into two partitions, load only games on the second partition and encrypt my primary windows/document partition. Will not be encrypting the game drive as I don't think it should be needed.
Has anyone inactivated the raid 0 on these? For a fresh install do we:
1) install os
2) install motherboard and other chipset drivers
3) run Windows update
4) install Aorus specific drivers/software
5) install latest nvidia experience and drivers
6) all other software
Thanks y'all!

After more research it looks like with windows 8.1 pro I may be able to keep the raid 0 with bitlocker and not have a performance hit. It looks like these crucial m550 have the built in hardware encryption so there isn't a loss of performance, and that bitlocker is used to activate it without a heavy software layer handling the encryption.
So I'll try it next weekend doing a fresh install with windows 8.1 pro.
I'm just not sure if there's a special sequence to install the software/drivers for the Aorus. Once we boot up with the fresh windows install, do we do all updates from Microsoft and then install the Aorus Driver Updates and let that do all the chipset stuff? Then do graphics drivers, then killer and command center? -
Officially, Intel's stance is install the chipset inf first, anything else after that doesn't matter but chipset should always be first.

What have ya'll bene using for your clean installs? Left side USB drive, or dvd from external player?
