Hi there..

About the USB drive not being recognised by EZFlash..... is teh USB Key formatted as FAT/FAT32, I think it needs to be formatted as FAT32 for it to be recognised by EZFlash..!!

I've been wondering about the BIOS for this mobo as well, I flashed to the latest BIOS (0602) as soon as I received the mobo, before I had even installed Windows... and havn't tried any other BIOS, I've been thinking about trying an earlier revision, as the problems that were supposed to have been fixed with 0602, i.e. the USB Drive boot problem, where it resets the boot priority when a USB Device is connected, this problems is still happening with me....

I may well try an earlier BIOS and see if it helps OC'ng a bit...!!!

No harm in trying..
