3.4 Síťové připojení
The motherboard includes an integrated WIFI7 module and a 2.5GbE LAN port. Connect the provided Wi-Fi antenna to the rear I/O panel for wireless connectivity. For wired connections, plug an Ethernet cable into the 2.5GbE LAN port.
4. Údržba
4.1 Čištění systému
Regularly clean your computer system to prevent dust buildup, which can lead to overheating. Use compressed air to clear dust from fans, heatsinks (including VRM Thermal Armor and M.2 Thermal Guard), and other components. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
4.2 Aktualizace ovladačů
Keep your motherboard drivers updated for optimal performance and stability. Visit the official GIGABYTE website for the latest chipset, LAN, Wi-Fi, audio, and other relevant drivers for your Z890 AORUS Elite X ICE motherboard.
5. Řešení problémů
5.1 No Power or Boot Issues
- Ověřte, zda jsou všechny napájecí konektory (24pinový ATX, 8pinový CPU) bezpečně usazeny.
- Check the EZ-Debug Zone LEDs for diagnostic codes. The lit LED indicates the component causing the boot failure.
- Ujistěte se, že je napájecí zdroj (PSU) funkční a zapnutý.
5.2 Memory (RAM) Instability
- Ensure RAM modules are fully seated in their slots.
- Pokud dochází k nestabilitě s XMP profiles, try disabling XMP in the BIOS or selecting a lower XMP profile. Some memory configurations may require manual tuning for stability at higher speeds.
- Test memory modules individually to identify a faulty stick.
5.3 Component Not Detected
- Reseat the component (CPU, GPU, M.2 SSD, SATA drive) and check its power and data cables.
- Ensure the component is compatible with the motherboard.
5.4 General System Instability
- Ujistěte se, že všechny ovladače jsou aktuální.
- Zkontrolujte teploty systému, abyste vyloučili přehřátí.
