Andy,
remember the issues with the dfi rd480 board? Dead cpu's, at least the Asus board with all it's attendant problems did not kill off any cpu's. I'm interested in the DFI board too, but I think it would be prudent to at least wait and see what user experiences surface. There will be plenty of people diving straight in on launch day to get a good idea quite quickly....................
Though the DFI interests me for more stable overclocks, I'll see what the new Asus bios can do first..............

If you are happy to consider changing your mobo again in a few months then its well worth risking this mobo.
I am 99% happy with it as it is. But brought it in the knowledge that i was prepared to upgrade again if needed later. Now i have it, my plans have changed and i'm not even looking for a new upgrade. That may be different if i were after the 300Mhz HTT, but as 2GB ram cant do that anyway, i'm happy at 260

Thx andyr, I'll bear that in mind if this rma proves to be faulty. Yes with this new DFI board I will be one who will wait and see, this time...
Has anyone seen this review of the A8R32-MVP, http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/asus_a8r32_mvp/ they got it up to 350mhz on passive cooling, they also conclude it is fast and stable....

Hi Guys,
Well I started building a system on this board last night.
So far I have got it to the stage of the basics done ie no internet/network, printer and fully working sound yet. I managed to play BF2 using headphones for sound. It suffered from pauses which I think is the old version 210? Bios.
Will update when internet is working. The thing that worried me the most so far was fitting the big Typhoon cooler as it uses only 2 screws and a H plate to hold it in place, you need to take your time and tighten slowly and evenly.
Will report more when I have done more testing.
Regards
Phil

off topic,
anyone who likes driving games, check out the evolution gt demo, of all the driving games I've tried so far, this one has the best 'feel', the graphics are really smooth, something that I just could not manage with n4smw (crude ea coding as usual).

dunno if it's worth condemnation just yet, the board itself has quite a few merits at first approximation....

let's see what the users here have to say once OCUK get them, at least 3 of the trust worthy guys here will probably get them on launch, than we'll know if there are any of the issues we have already seen with the Asus.....

Under the Advanced Options section of the bios, go to PCI Configuration, ensure P2P Writes is Enabled. CrossFire will typically time out or BSOD if this is disabled.
On a secondary note- I have tried all four ULi M1575 driver releases with the Cat 6.3 (CCP version, .Net2) release without an issue today. Email me your system specifics and I will try to recreate your issue.

Hi Guys,
I cant get asus update to work, its my only way of installing new bios as I dont have a floppy.
Do I just uninstall creative drivers or is it back to complete windows reinstall?

Thanks for the suggestion, Gary, i do have that enabled as bios defaults to that.
Specs if it helps
Sig + Creative XFI FPS, Seasonic S12 , Razer Copperhead, Eclipse Keyboard
Xbox360 Controller, Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 NCQ 500GB
Edit. i see you said you use .net2
Im using .net 1.1+SP1 and .Net 2 with the CCC defaulting to .Net1.1
If i get time i may try just .Net 2 on its own and report back

Well, the layout kicks the butt.
Don't like the fan. When ever I have a fan on the motherboard, it gets noisy.
What is the extra power connector all about? Shouldn't it be 4 pins? Will that add some extra power/stability that the A8R32 is missing?

I have a creative XiFi, however when I start the asus update i get the NT error described by Ryan earlier in this thread. Maybe its not the creative drivers but it does not work all the same

Its the installation that fails
"It says NT service registry failure no Asus motherboard present"
lol maybe its another manufacturers but stamped ASUS.

RE NT error
i had same nt problem when i first tried to install auto update. you have to change something in the registry. im not at my pc right now. its a documented asus / creative problem. you have to google it or ill post the fix once i get home. it has to do with adding a 'u' to one of the values.
will post later
