DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 - First bench, bios screens etc

What do you guys AHCI or IDE mode? What ahci drivers do use for proper installation?

i use IDE, AHCI drivers come with SATA matrix intel raid drivers as well. For raid i use 3rd party hardware raid controllers so I can move arrays between different boards without worry

Don't know if it's answered in a previous post but...How the heck can I set a non turbo multi over 24x? Can't find it anywhere and the turbo mode doesn't seem to work I need it for 3D

never used 965 cpu, but each brand board sometimes have early bios limitations on multipliers - seems DFI is 23x or 24x right now ?

I hve now 3gb OCz platinium
but vista 32 shows only 2560mb physical memory
Should I try to change LOWGAP setting in order to show correct RAM buffer or leave it on a default value?

set lowgap to whatever is needed for GPU/system to run. Whatever vista32 shows as available is what you have, with any decent 512MB-1GB GPU card you're looking at only 2-2.5GB available ram on 32bit system and even 64bit unless you move to 6GB ram then you're see between 4.5-5+ GB available.

has anyone board fried yet or am I the first one ?

Nope still going strong here

Something happened to yours ?
