nope, just pop the disk in and sit back let her install.Quote:

I am thinking of getting this board along with 2x2Gb Dominators PC8500 and a 45nm quad. Anyone have any experience/issues with this setup? I have seem that many of you run very high PL in memory settings. Is this a board standard? In MF1 common PL was 6 or 7. Does the EK NB-Smax fit on the NB?
Grnfinger show me some good results of O/C cause i still cant make my mind over MF2 or RE :(
I had the same problem, I just popped the cd out a few times and it finally worked :up:Quote:

Hey guys
How's this board with the Q6600's I'm on the settings of my signature on a P5K deluxe...
Do you think it's a good board to go for ?
I was lookin' at the rampage and the P5Q deluxe but this one seems very good
Cheers

Wel i could not get much higher then 3.6Ghz stable.But on this bord it did need less voltage like less vtt less nb and less vcore.On my mf1 it was 1.42 vtt , 1.51 Nb , and 1.41vcore.With mf2 it was vtt 1.34 Nb 1.41 and vcore 1.38.Now i use E8600 8.5x 500 with very low voltage.So for me this bord was a good buy.
What type of DVD drive are you using?Quote:

so........................
For those running a FULL system with this board...........
Is it worth adding the X-Fi sound card included in the bundle or would I be better off with a stand alone (retail version) X-Fi card?
I keep hearing about the card included in the bundle not being as good or still using CPU cycles and not having its own cpu to do the job for it.
sadly im using an ide drive :( so what should i do now.Quote:

I found it to be junk, so I went a picked up a Xonar D2X.Quote:

its pretty good @ 505 MHz .... but i dont come higher, i think there is a cpu-fsbwall... (dont look for the cpu voltage... usually the cpu need just 1,25V for this mhz...

Have you enable the J-Micron controller? You will need this set to enable to run PATA drives.Quote:

Not sure about the card included in the bundle as I have not used it as I am running a PCI-e Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty .......... and that card sounds great.
get the heatsink off , reapply paste (arctic ceramique) and put a washer to put more pressure on the springs so the NB is really tied down... it has bad contact mate at the moment and is not good to continue to use the board under these conditions... you will smoke itQuote:

your NB block has a bad contact with the nb chip.. i had the same problem. you can fix this by taking off the whole nb heatsink, then clean off the thermal paste and put new layer of it to the heatsink.. then when you put your heatsink back to your board, put 2 washers where the 2 heatsink holes are located, fasten all the screws and your ready to rock :up:Quote:

Dctokyo how do u like your titanium fatality? Did u have any driver issues since i see in your sig you run 64bit windows. I cant make my mind between X-Fi titanium fatality or Asus Xonar D2X.Quote:

Btw, are my volts and temps OK ?
Hi ChaosAD, I really like my titanium fatality and I have no drivers problems running xp/64 with the lastest drivers.Quote:

I got the titanium fatality because it came with the front IO console.
On this board I use the first PCI-e 1 slot which is the black one so it sits above my video card.
WaterFlex thanx for the screenshots. It seems to have a liittle drop, but there may be a bios setting to overcome this difference.
Dctokyo thanx for the reply. It seems that i ll also go for the X-Fi titanium fatality.
Do u guyz think that if i choose this mobo the best combination would me a E8600 or a Q9550?
