Good news!Originally Posted by HondaGuy
I'll test it on the weekend.
i knew things would come stuck at Offike kazgirl, they are not what they seem, i think its one guy in a basement lol with 5 mobo's and a Socket A heatsink.
you have mentioned scan.co.uk, they are sound as a pound, great lot there and great CS.
another place you could get it is Microdirect.co.uk, funny site this, totaly legit, but allways seem to pull stock out the bag from nowhere, 5 days before all the big names, good contacts i suppose,
they got the board in stock now,

i was going to pick it up, but decided to hold out for the Nvidia ACC 'vapourware' boards, to see if they appear.
got myself another GTX 260 and two XSPC waterblocks for them, dont come till monday, darn....cant wait to fit em
Anyone else have major trouble with this BIOS update? After installing it, my system wouldn't boot...HDD's were detected, but all were inaccessible. I even had to unplug all HDD's in order to even flash back to my previous BIOS. Flashed back, and all was OK again.

This BIOS was released around the same time that a new BIOS came out for the M3A32-MVP and others, not sure if its a general release date wiht ASUS or something, but I found that I had USB problems, with the new BIOS for my M3A32-MVP (v1301) and also had to flash back to an earlier BIOS to fix the problem, (BIOS v1203).
Might just be a c-incidence or a sign that its a bigger problem within their general BIOS coding for AM2+ boards..!!

I had no problem with BIOS 0602 update. I just put the bios on a usb stick, its too large for a floppy, then use the alt-F2 feature on boot. I then load the new bios and reboot. Simple and effective with this version.
