Yoh guys,
I am thinking about buying a Microsoft X4 keyboard (usb) but a friend of mine told me it wouldn´t work while the system is booting because it takes a too long time to get initialized, so I couldn´t hit "Del" to get in the BIOS. I should better use a PS2-keyboard.
Does anyone have experiences about that issue?

It wont be a problem at the boot, bios reads usb devices before it exit the bios screen so hit del wont be a problem. Tho if you want to press like ctrl alt del to reboot or press any key for choose between failsafe options you need to enable usb keyboard support in bios.

Thank you and Lsdmeasap for the reply.

@PalmeAsus,
as I see in your sig. do you run an uncore speed at almost 4000 MHz.
How much QPI/VTT do you need for a 24/7 use?

it's set to 1.515v in the bios.

Hicookie i would love the latest beta also \o/ and also i wonder if you could post ud9 pictures / major differences as soon you are aloud saw a s-pi 32 run screen by you with the mobo :O

Can someone please recommend a good psi for this mobo?

I think the hx1000 corsair might have compatibility issues

my board works fine with the hx1000 :O what are the problem/problems you are referring to ?

To answer your question I will post my summary of the issue-

it has been confirmed with 2 of these motherboards and different memory, CPUs

Thanks for your reply

I am very frustrated. My issue is exactly as the op reports

there are 2 possibly separate issues

1) random post failure at high bclk with fans powering off and bios warning

2) random c1 post reset- where after the post beep but before windows loads, the mono will click to c1 and start the post again. Often this gas no associated message.

The first issue I have only seen at high bclk on confirmed 24h stable settings and seemed initially to be an oversensiyivity to ioh voltage- eg more prevalent past 1.18 v ( 2 mobos tested) the issue although random was reproducible at stock speeds with that voltage tweak. There may be other factors involved though

the second issue seems independent of bclk and is less reproducible but certainly can occur at stock settings. Seems very random an independent of voltages and clocks
