I replaced my board for plus verions today.
It has PCB rev A2, it's written on it (I mean revision of the board itself not the chipset).
Seller from which I have the board told me that non-plus also going to be on new PCB rev (so probably with newer chipset revision, that is A3).
Also it delivered with 09-01 bios (non-beta? o_O).
Bad news are I haven't tested anything not even checked chips with cpuz becouse my OCZ SSD core V2 drive stop working.
After whole day of tries and tests I have to confirm that drive is not compatible with DFI LN DK P45-T2RS+ (or with new PCB/chipset rev of both mobo versions).
I going share with you some detalis, maybe someone could help me, but probably tomorrow I'll have to replace again for Asus P5Q Deluxe as I'm tired and disappointed with DFI issues.
Here's the story:
After replacing board system stopped boot. I mean not even started booting. After showing devices table and standard message about cmos backup just stops and nothing happened. I've checked drive with couple tools, recreated partitions (many times: by windows install and acronis disk director suite), reinstalled vista (later many times). Only difference after installation was I got "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" instead of no communicate at all. I was trying to recreate MBR, boot sector, boot menu and all that stuff automatically and manually by commands (bcdedit, bootrec, bootsect), different sata cables and different sata slots on the board including additional sata controller (main feature of plus version) also flash 812 bios. Nothing... Moreover I connected normal 7200 drive installed system and it works. On the other hand, if SSD is connected via usb (it has such a feature) it boots o_O also I was trying via sata in my friend's PC - boots no problem WTF?!. So there isn't any bootmgr problem in fact, is it? Bootmgr is in its place and works correct but not with this board. It's so strange issue, damn... I have no idea what's going on especially previous board was (?) almost the same
Now it's late and I'm going sleep but tomorrow morning I'll check this topic for any advice before I'll go for Asus board.
PS. this revision/version is almost 15C cooler on chipset (checked in PC Helath in BIOS). I have 35C instead of 50C
