It is a problem with the BIOS, the latest P5K3 0411 BIOS solved most of the Quad reboot issues, ASUS is working on a update for the P5K now.Quote:

Go buy it... really, go buy it... :D Next BIOS release is looking really good for memory performance improvement and solving reboot issues.Quote:

The qwerk I've experienced with autorecovery is that I have to remove three of four sticks of ram which for me happens to be easier than removing my video card to reset the jumper and redo all my bios settings.
For some reason if I remove three sticks of ram autorecovery works everytime, after saving and exiting the bios I reinstall the ram, haven't had to touch the reset jumper since figuring this out.
I just got back...again ;) This board better be good bingo!!Quote:

Hey orion23 do u think a hr-05 will fit on that NB with that TR ultra 120 x there?
For the HR-05 "SLI", it sure looks like it could. There a lot of space between the HSF and the Video card.Quote:

the p5k dlx looks like a great board. I may get one.
Try using only the 4 red sata connectors, I had the same issue until i used only the red connectors.Quote:

About cold boots, i don't know what are you meaning but i have problems with my QX6700.
If it starts well, i can run prime with no errors in windows. Sometimes it starts but freeze entering vista.
I had lots of problems to install vista, im starting entering my serial number and the mouse and the pc freeze...
This things happens with OC, stock i think i have no problems with cold boots.
bingo13, give us the new bios please...i cant use my pc with this one :confused:
I have a problem running 2 hitachi's in raid 0. Sometimes it won't even install xp other times it randomly bsod's in xp with iastor.sys error. It does however recognize my third hitachi drive.Quote:

In Vista, if im at stock i can open control panel.
If i made OC, the control panel blinks and don't open.
I use my QX at 3.3Ghz for everyday, its the same speed i used in evga nf680.
I tried 367x9, 415x8, 472x7...and the last one, once windows starts can run prime for hours...
