Asus M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe nForce 780a SLI w/ Pheno 9850BE

[Deliximus]

I just bought this board yesterday and installed WindowsXP Pro Sp2. I'm just reserving space here in the meantime while I finish setting up my computer in hopes to get some OCing action going. I'm at work today, so I hope I'll be posting some screenshots tonight!

I found it weird that when I plugged in my two WD 320GB drives into the 780a
chipset's (red) SATA ports along with my WD 750GB, i can't get into the RAID configuration screen (pressing F10). But when I plugged the WD 750GB into the gray slot, then it's ok. Very odd.....

I installed the blower for the PWM heatsink as well, it was a pretty easy install. Unfortunately, my TR Ultima-90 blocks the first DIMM slot. I tried slots 2+4 and 3+4, but both still are recognized as Single-Channel 64-bit during POST. I find that very odd and perhaps someone here can shed some light on that.

Anyways, hopefully, i'll be back with screenshots. I must say this board is definitely faster than the 790FX/770 that i have tried and completely frustrated with (I really want to stick with AMD....sigh...tried DFI M2RS, Abit Ax78, Gigabyte 770DS3, 780G)
