Well mine got here today in a box with NO padding. Everything looks ok, but I have to wait til tomorrow for the RAM. Anyone order some good black SATA cables from somewhere cheap?
Has anyone had cold boot problems or other bios troubles? I ask because my worst ever board was a DFI infinity nforce2, u didnt dare shut it down even at stock.
Im waiting for these CPU cuts and then Ill get either a Gigabyte DS3 (seem to be most popular on overclockers.co.uk), or one of these boards. Probably buy it from scan.co.uk cause of free shipping deal with hexus.co.uk members.
Lol I´m drowning in SATA cables...when I RMA i just send in the board and daugther card.....the place is filled with bags of unopen SATAs...Quote:

Just got all my parts together tonight. No OC yet, just testing stability on the old P5B Windows install. :p
I pulled the NB/SB off and stuck a bunch of MX-1 on there...checked for good contact. NB was a PITA to get on tho. The clips are tough to move and the HS just kept slidin around. It gets nice an hot wo/ airflow, so I stuck a 120mm over the top of RAM and it's barely warm...cool even. Here's a few pics so we can start comparing temps/volts...

Hope 1200ish isn't too big for pics posted these days...let me know. As you can see, I'm still on the shipping bios. Got excited and wanted to check for stability. :D I'll be throwing on the one from 4/11 in hopes to cure this issue:

After that, there's no Intel ROM BIOS for me to configure RAID and it won't boot to windows. The solution? Unplugging the SATA DVD writer from port 5. I've got the HDD's plugged into 1-4 and am curious if perhaps I need to do some switching around. Any ideas?
nice. enough stock testing!! ;) mine's still not here :( tomorrow i suppose
did you set it for raid ?? inside bios its ctrl - i once you set it :) its under integrated
Latest bios seems to have fixed it. I'm on 4-11 and have things configured as such:

Working on OC now. :D It seems this board has ushered in the era of the "triple-boot" then? I remember my socket 754 DFI NF3 250GB being quirky(to steal your word), but this thing has a mind of it's own! It chirps and turns off at seemingly random times. But so far stability overall seems another world from my ASUS + Crucial issues.
Have you guys any ideas as to the 2nd Intel AHCI SATA ROM screen? When RAID's on, it'll hang on the 1st post screen for 2 seconds, move onto the Intel ROM Bios for another 3-4, then set up camp on this 3rd screen that talks about Intel and throws down some ........finally finding all my SATA boys for 15 seconds. Overall, it's about as fast as my P5B, maybe a bit slower, but what's up w/ this?

damn, 411 bios out? i just got done modding 402. don't even have the board yet
edit: haha long boot process. at least it's always doing something and not just randomly hanging.
is there an option in the bios to keep current settings or force bios? maybe if you told it to keep config, the ahci / raid won't have to run and do a full init everytime?
your missing A part of the bios it sould come up with a hole diff thing under the slow part your seems to skip this ...
I kind of wondered why the first part hauls by...would you mind taking pics/vid of what you're seeing? Anyway, here's some small progress.

I had to bump the SB up just a touch to get the Windows XP loading screen to come up. Everything else's stock tho.
aw you guys are so lucky... The only aussie distributor for DFI is only getting the 680i, not the 965 infinity :(
