muari, can you edit your sig to include what you have in your rig?
I have this ram 4x1 corsair dominator and it works great with this board.
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145179
my crucial run fine at 4 GB and cpu clocked to 3.8 Mhz.
The board posts, but every time the win(xp) starts, I get a message that the system has found an unknown audio device... That should be the X-Fi.
Mine is also 1.02G, I flashed into bios 0602 from the 04XX. I will try that 0505.
Are you using the Sound Blaster with the "onboard" SupremeFX or as standalone? And in which PCI slot?
Update:
Last night I did the "Make Disk" off the MB driver disk. I formatted and installed XP SP2 with those drivers. Hitting F6 then chosing the SATA Controller. There are four to chose from, a couple RAID ones, something about mobile and one that said something like SATA Controller Desktop. The install still seemed slower then my old NF3 w/ FX-60, but it was faster then before. And so far XP seems to be running fine. But I've had some other problems installing stuff. The ASUS InstALL had problems installing. And my G5failed the first time. Might be a issue, I'm not sure yet.
After xp reinstall, same :banana::banana::banana::banana: happened, X-Fi don't wan't to work:mad:
Remounting my TRUE made a world of difference to my temps!!! I knocked nearly 7*c off loaded temps just by doing this, and also lowered northbridge temps (I assume there was a deadspot...?)!

Hi, thanks GAR, unfortunately I'm in the UK but is this http://www.memoryc.com/products/desc...kit/index.html the same or similar?

If you take your time the NB comes off rather easily, just don't pull. I took a flat head screw driver and just slowly worked the corners and it came off w/o any problems. It was definetly worth the lower temps.Quote:
To think I was 2 minutes away from attempting to take off the heatpipe from my board.
I am really glad I didn't now!

Other than PCI-E 2.0 and better support for 45nm and DDR3, how is this a new chipset?Quote:
Probably just growing pains, it's a VERY new chipset, and the BIOS is in its infant stages. It will probably take awhile before this thing starts to shine. My old P5b Deluxe was like that when it first came out, then it became a rock.
Didn't Intel design the X38 specifically for DDR3? Didn't ASUS and other MoBo manufacturers have to force DDR2 support on the chipset? I'm wondering if all are problems are just due to poor optimization of DDR2 that can't be fixed outside of loose timmings.
looking at ya picture you seem to have another version of the driver I use, I just looked at creative webbie and it's the same driver for all the cards

click on I agree and the download should start
hope this link works otherwise meet me on messenger and I'll send it to ya ( pm me first then plz)
Thanx for Your answer. I tried that with the driver You linked me, deinstalled before all creative drivers. After that I installed that driver, perfectly done, restarted my rig, but next time when the win started, I got that "unknown audio device found" message again:mad: :shrug:
I have already seen such like that the device can't answer. This makes me think, that there might be a conflict with an other device. I read in the mobo's manual, that PCI slot shares with LAN, SATA, PCIe X16 etc. In which PCI port do you use yours?
The first time I installed the parts, the card worked, but the creative applications weren't installed. I tried to install them, and since then I can't hear any noise:shakes:
Thy for your answer too, I would like to use both of the soundcards, one of them with surround headset and the other with 5.1 speaker system. I will behappy, if I had "only" noisy mic. I don't get any sound from the X-Fi
I think you are looking for trouble there Xabre ... and like in the PM I posted ya the extra apps prolly corrupted ya install, install winXP from scratch !!
OK, so after installing my 8800GT, i have been getting nothing but BSOD's............i have used the diag. tool it says its driver related....anyone else getting issues with vista 64???? here is what the bsod says

try changing your pci-e frequency
I've seen another person (earlier in this thread) having a prob with an X-Fi. His problem was different than yours though. His Maximus couldn't boot with an X-Fi on the last pci slot. Maybe the two probs are connected.
In my opinion try another vga card (without a wb) so as to install X-Fi in 1st slot.
OK, so the BSOD happens mainly when i exit a game, and when i try to restart my computer..................Process_Has_locked_pages ...........i tried upping the pci-e mhz and nothing happened, i tried it on 100 and i still get the bsod...........this is crazy im starting to think i have a bad card maybe????? everytime i try to restart i get a bsod.....overclocked or stock, same thing.
seems like i have a defective card, im just going to frys to return it........will report back, probably will get the xfx card tommorow to test out.
well, a fresh GFX card will definately rule out a glitch, etc. with the MB.
Rear fan is extract. Top most fan (200mm) is extract above TRUE. Bottom mounted fan on TRUE is pushing through the TRUE and the top mounted fan on the TRUE is pulling the air through and pushing it out the 200mm extract!
It works well... :cool:
0701 bios seems to have been released on the FTP check it out! Anyone wanna test it?
