with F5C for DS4 i had a little problem fortunately soon resolved....

1) Flash the bios with upgrade from beta F5B to the new Beta F5C
2) I turn off PC and Clear CMOS
3) I Turn ON PC go in the bios and selected "Load Optimized Default"....I saved with F10 key and rebooting system
4) after rebooting all OK, I return in the bios for setting my parameters and rebooting....here begin the problems that all the others bios, beta or official (F3,F4C,F4,F5B), weren't never happen...the PC in phase of boot was stopped to the point which detect the drive (HD and various optical peripheral) and didn't go neither ahead neither in the bios.

....I have noticed a pair of things, the problem has been verified when i set in the bios "PC Health Status--->FAN Speed Control Method--->Intel(R) QST"...but it would not enjoy not even my ram.

....I tried various Reset CMOS, take off the PSU for unload completely the capacitors and remove the battery for a complete reset of the bios but the problem hold on....I tried to connect an intel boxed fan to the CPU_FAN connector of the board but nothing...I changed my ram Corsair with a 512MB PC5300 stick in single channel of OEM ram (normal chip V-Data) but nothing...I tried to change dimm slot and the problem has been resolved....then i take off boxed fan from connector and replace the 512MB OEM ram with my Corsair and it was all OK...This Beta bios said "Fix E6600/E6700 >400FSB"....I hoped resolved the small incompatibility between E6600 and chipset 965 which it seems to create as a wall beyond some doesn't know them, but for me in OC doesn't change nothing neither for boot from bios neither salting of FSB from win with EasyTune or SetFsb...
