i tried probe 2 and it too is much lower then core temp.
Went out to buy milk and bread, came home with a Maximus Formula SE. :shrug:
I had to stop by the computer store anyway... both of the motherboards my brother owns are dying, so I asked about RMAing... then I saw the Maximus box staring at me on the wall. Cheapest I've seen in Canada too, $258. :D
Will be joining you guys in tweaking once I get back to my own place next week. :up:
HHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! reminds me of when i went to the pc store to buy AS5, came home with the Striker Extreme.Quote:

Would this be adequeate for the SB ? http://www.petrastechshop.com/pedila.html
What CPU air coolers will fit on this MB and fit so that the fan is blowing to the back of the case?
No. enless you have a fan directly on it, it might work.Quote:

something like this should be better

I already own this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835119080 From the looks of it, it seems like it'll interfere with the surrounding components. (cant confirm as my board arrives tomorrow)
if it fits use it, if not use the other one and put a small fan over it, active cooling will be needed if you use the heatsink only, its wayy too tiny.Quote:

I have 2 of theses and they do fit on the NB AND SB of the P5N32-E and the Blitz so I am pretty sure it will fit on the Maximus
Even with a 8800ultra installed ? If so i'll pick one up locally and i'll order a mcw30 chipset block.Quote:

So . . . a fresh format and reinstall of XP Pro without the daughtercard installed, get all the Catalyst stuff up to snuff for the HD2900Pro vidcard and then add the supplied ADI Soundmax soundcard back onto the board . . . still no go. The ASUS utility on the CD still says "The audio drivers do not support your hardware".
So - from any of you with this mobo and running the supplied soundcard - advice? TIA
Do you have it in the Black PCIE 1x port? If not you made the same mistake I did, it is a proprietary bus specifically for that sound card. If it isnt in that slot, your sound isnt going to work.Quote:

Yes it is in that black slot (the most 'north' slot in the mobo). It worked for just a while during my initial install but now it is a real PITA. I had figured I'd get something that would work 'for sure' and tried a X-Fi GamerXtreme from Creative. Hooboy, big mistake; I know Creative dominates the genre but I'd always hated their drivers - that hate, years later, was not misplaced. So I yanked the SB card and did various registry cleaning tricks and finally just decided to do a format/reinstall of XP Pro (just build the system 2 days ago so no big deal). Did the full XP install, the Diamond Sapphire Catalyst install and update to latest drivers and Windows update to install 85 updates. THEN I shutdown, installed the Maximus soundcard, and rebooted.
Now the sound app in Control Panel has ATI HD Audio rear output as it's selection and I can't change it. I'm really wondering if there's a conflict between the various and sundry drivers that ATI installs for the HD2900 and my soundcard for the Maximus. In any case it's been so frustrating that there's a giant do not disturb sign all around my office.
I have the feeling my temps are too high, when I play a game MB goes up to 52C, NB 55 and SB to 60C .. are those temps safe or should I start worring?
I had similar problems, with the installer claiming XP was the wrong version so I reinstalled without SP3 slipstreamed and no problems since. SP3 is fast and everything, but I'd only recommend installing it AFTER everything is installed because so much software refuses to install (and sometimes run) on it, thinking it's the wrong OS! :D :shocked:Quote:
