Right, final straw, the DFI RDX200 sucks big time, one of the worst mobo's i've come across.
1. Exiting bios is a pain, have to reset comp to re-post with or without changing any settings
2. Always get unmountable boot volume when running master and slave hdds, have to restart master on its own, xp runs a check disk and then finally get back into windows, slave hdd ran fine in old setup and on a 2nd comp.
3. So hard to get a small overclock stable, have to run cpu @ stock were as i hit 2.5ghz quite easily on my old MSI neo2 plat, managed a small oc to 2.25ghz and get little blue spec's in movie play back and small artifacts and frame skipping in games, all returns to normal when back at 2.0ghz
3a. In wow when cpu is overclocked to 2.25ghz the sky will flash light blue and dark blue repeatidly also flickers on screen in nfs-c and weird green areas in css, all fine at 2.0ghz
4. Sound is very poor, some sounds in games are clear and then some ya cant even hear, and i know that the sounds should be around the same volume.
5. Windows seems a hell of a lot slower now and burning cds/dvds seems to take double the amount of time.
6. Sometimes from turning my comp on it'll just stay on 'main processor AMD 3200 screen' not read ram or ide and just hang there.
7. sometimes it will get past the main screen but i'll just have a blank screen with a _ at the top and hang there, this is all on stock clocks btw.
8. Also pretty sure i heard it wont run 2 x X1950 pro's in crossfire 2 mode, so thats a ****
and i'm sure theres a few things i've missed, if anyone know's of some miracle way of sorting this mobo out or can recommend something that would suit me more please feel free to say.
Have my eye on either of the asus's in xfire ready (939) on ocuk.
