S3 works with F8b with extreme

With HT on and off? Did it not work before for you either? I probably should know but haven't visited this thread in months.

Works with HT on, never ran with HT off, but will check.

Funny thing, I never tried S3 before, never used it, then 2 things happened. One, people said it was fixed on F7betas and two, at same time had been playing with kill-o-watt meter, then decided to test out S3...been using since.

So actually I cant say if mine works on earlier bioses or not. But works fine with 8b bios. One thing I found is that sometimes I have to clear cmos when coming off a bios like F3 (testing stuff with it) to get S3 to work on 7c/8b....so maybe it does not work with earlier bioses on mine.

Edit: S3 works with HT on or off, just tested by having it sleep after 1 minute. Worked fine, and wakes up with tap of spacebar. Also, I am using wind 7 RC 1, and to get s3 to work properly I had to go to power options>>change plan settings>>change advanced power settings>>and set - no- to require password on wake. Otherwise for some reason hitting keyboard would not wake it, had use power button.
