are you saying both burners, that you tried out, were IDE type or one was IDE and the other was SATA?

I've tried 2 IDE burners, benq and pioneer, and I have a 3rd sata samsung burner. Benq is just left over from another build. But for some reason this mobo doesn't like me very much. Vdroop is horrible (tried pencil mod, didn't change much), couldn't oc my e8400 to 4ghz stable. To be honest, I've bought this mobo just because I got really pissed with SLI and CF. This is my 4th mobo this year: Maximus Formula (excelent mobo, 2xHD3870 CF sucks), Evga 780i (died and killed my RAM 2 times), P5K-E Wifi (returned because my video card blocked 2 sata ports) and this one. Overall is a good board but I don't know... I'm not really impressed. It does what is supposed to do but not being able to oc an e8400 really pissed me off. It would crash in 30 sec no matter what voltage. I've tried different gtl like you've recommended, from 61 to 69%, and same thing. Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll wait and see what happens.
