Simple upgrade
operating system:
OtherWanted a board that was simple for a novice to upgrade without initial bios problems.
Bios 1303 enabled board to run and install Windows 7. 64 bit.
Running a Phenom II X 4 955 With 4 GB CORSAIR 1333 ddr3. With supplied cooler Temp.32C idle. Auto bios settings give score of 7.4 for processor and 7.5 for memory. The smoothest running board I have had even from Asus.
Great service again from Ebuyer
Ram types
Does anyone have a list of recommended supported ram types for this mobo before i purchase this to go with my Phenom 965
WOW!!!!
operating system:
Windows 7THIS IS A AMAZING BOARD JUST DON'T BUY IT IF YOUR GONNA GET THE AMD 965 UNLESS YOU HAVE A WAY OF UPDATING THE BIOS....
the system wont boot without a bios update using the 965 (125w)
so you have to have someway of updating the bios.. i used a guy from wales on eBay who sent me a new bios chip.. easy fitted and worked fine..
after the bios was sorted i never looked back this mainboard + CPU combination is amazing with 6gb DDR3 at 1600 if fly's.. I would recommend it to anyone over my i7 PC that runs at 3.03ghz (i7 950) also 6gb ddr3 its also quater of the price of my i7 and i think the AMD chip beats it on every test i have ran before i overclocked it...
hope this will help....
Wont do RAID 0
operating system:
Windows XPAlthough I have got RAID 0 working on several MoBos before I just cannot make it go on this accursed board. And the onboard RAID option was one of the main attractions. Yep, I have wasted about 30 hours trying and am calling it a day.
