Well, I've finally got my water cooled rig up and running and so this board is now my main PC.

Currently busy installing everything I need before trying to push the OC further. However, I have noticed a couple of small problems.

I'm currently running F5h bios with Q6600 @ 3.6GHz (400*9) with 4x1GB Ballistix PC2-8500 @ 1066 24hr Prime stable.

I've just installed WinXP on 2 * 74GB raptors in RAID0 and here comes the first annoyance. In order to set up the RAID, I had to switch the SATA RAID/AHCI Mode to 'Raid' (obviously) and since doing so I do not get the logo screen during POST. The system goes straight to the RAID drive detection routine and ends with the option to press <CTRL> + I to configure. No option to get into BIOS. I've tried pressing <DEL> constantly, but no luck. I can occasionally get into BIOS using a combination of <DEL> and <CTRL> + I, although I cannot determine the pattern required to get in consistently. If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know. Oh - and yes, I do have the option in BIOS set to show the logo screen .

The other annoyance is a cold boot bug (I think). As I'm not exactly sure what the 'cold boot bug' is, I'll describe the symptoms. If the PSU is disconnected, then the 1st boot after reconnecting fails. Lights come on briefly and then go off. The system then automatically reboots and this time it is successful. Now, seeing as I don't normally disconnect my PSU, and also considering that this problem requires no intervention on my part and only adds a fews seconds to the boot process, I'm not all that bothered about it. However, if someone knows of a fix to this, then I'm willing to give it a try.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
