It wouldn't be enough! :) Might invest in a network storage device with redundancy in the near future, but thats gonna cost quite a lot. Until then I'll just have to risk not having everything backed up. The essentials are safe ish..

I'm expecting delivery today of a 3Tb WD Drive from a uk online store, was only £139 + delivery which seems pretty good to me. Just a shame as my 4 week old Seagate 2Tb drive died and I lost 2Tb of data. Not a happy bunny about that one.

Thanks for all your help stulid :) Its much appreciated.

Thanks for that, I dont mind spending a bit more if the PSU needs to be better. Oh and I would like the system to be fairly quiet. Doesn't have to be silent but not noisy if possible. Might replace the 14cm fan in the case with a silent one. Any thoughts on the motherboard?

It's been a long time since I posted on OcUK, I used to post on here all the time a few years ago, but have been slightly busy getting married, having kids, getting divorced etc!! :) It's about time I upgraded my system which currently is an Athlon X2 4200+ and is getting pretty long in the...

I'll give it a try anyway at the weekend, I've got myself a bios saviour now from a recent bad experience. If it goes wrong I just flick a switch and have my backup bios :) Will post back my results in a few days. Hate having to plug the floppy drive in on this motherboard!

Anyone know if bios 1.5 sorts out the temperature reading problem? I know afraser2k has noticed a difference, anyone else?

Anyone tried the latest 1.5 official bios yet? Just noticed it on the website, but not seen anyone mention it on here.

Have been too busy recently, have a hectic work life (shift work sucks sometimes). Will be doing some work on it tonight and finishing off tomorrow. Will report back then :)

I will give it a go, soon as I get windows installed :)

Woohoo, got my Neo2 up and running tonight after the 1.52 bios shenanigans. Just the basics and ran memtest to see if everything was ok. Phew! so far so good. :)

Cool, nice bit of detective work :) You should post your findings on the Xtreme Systems Neo 2 thread How is the 1.51bios, is this the best one for Ballistix PC4000?

I've seen that site and did think about getting a pre flashed bios saviour. Only trouble is I don't like credit cards and that's all they take, plus like you said postage was about £15 alone. I've ordered a new bios chip from the company you recommended above, plus a bios saviour will be...

Sorry I meant kr7a, but it's the wrong chip anyway. I've had a look at the Neo2 bios chip and got the code from under the sticker. Just ordered myself a bios saviour (had to buy something else as well to make the p&p worthwhile so got an aerogate 1 fan controller) Going to try and order a...

Thanks for the advice and support guys, having a look at that site now. I'm working on my other pc which is a kt7a, but I'll have a look at the bios, might be the same kind of chip for a hotflash, trouble is I need the extraction tool. Decided that I'm going to get a bios saviour, never...

I'd been looking forward to setting this up for ages and finally got the chance today and stuffed it! If only I'd read the last few posts on the xtremesystems forums, there's a guy on there who used this bios with exactly the same result.

Oh dear! :mad: :mad: I installed my new kit today, switched it on and all was fine. Thought to myself, why not flash the latest beta bios before I start installing the o/s and mucking about. BIG MISTAKE! I booted with a floppy, had the bios files on a fat32 hdd, flashed the bios and it...

I knew it! Thanks for the reply anyway, hope you don't get too much stick for helping me out in the "other" forum! :p

Anybody think this is ok? Or do you all secretly hate me and not want to talk to me! :( :p

I'm going to set my Neo 2, 3200+, Freezer 64, Ballistix pc4000, Enermax NT 485 etc up tomorrow. I've been reading the whole thread and making sure I'm up to speed on everything. It's pretty confusing at times! Can someone just run through my list of things to do and check it please? :)...
