I had the same problem; just cut it in the middle so you can plug it in

Cut it in the middle how exactly?

Anyone know how I get the Power LED on my Antec SLK1650-B to work with this mobo? According to the mobo manual, there are 2 pins for it, but the cable from the case uses 3 pins. Here is what the Power LED connector looks like:

No idea what the S and the arrow mean though. Don't see any + and - signs on it as well.

i poked the wire out and put it in the middle hole. make sure u do it to the correct one tho else they'll be the wrong way round.


btw beta7 bios seems pretty good!!

As a little update we've got my mates up to 295fsb now, cpu voltage still at default so it'd probably be a good clocking 144, shame about the multi being 9x!

The green will be the one you want to connect to the motherboard live connector mate

I see. So I just reattach the green to the middle yea?

 

[kidloco]

yep, you can just pull out the little plug and wire together, push it into the middle slot and jobs a goodun

there is an asrock 1.80 bios out, and a ocwbeta8 bios that have the htt lock removed afaik

i have not tried them yet

i am happy at 276x10 at 1.55v on ocwbeta2 bios as my opty 146 seems to flake out at 2800

Hi,

Yes it can only support, 2 fans, one for the CPU and one for a case fan. If you need more connectors you'll have to get some 3-pin to 4-pin converters. Hope this helps

Damn, im unsure about them connectors, this is first time ive built a pc so i dont know.

Guess ill only have one fan running on my Lian-Li for the minute then

New Bios out, 1.80 on the Asrock website, still have the 1T bug here though.

 

[xiphrex]

Whats the 1.80 fix? Does the 166 divider work properly?

 

[ninjapilot]

"Whats the 1.80 fix?"

Update AM2 CNQ algorithm that was it

It doesn't 'fix' anything but is simply an update for the soon to be released AM2 CPU's.

i can confirm official bios 1.80 allows me to run at 290x10 so its a good bios.

So are you saying that the "official" BIOS has the 274 HTT cap removed? Anybody else got higher than 274 with 1.8 BIOS?

or is there another better way??

Cheers

I use the flash.exe file from ocw when using the beta bios' and use the ASRflash.exe when using official bios'. To make a dos boot diskette, i used drdflash i think, not sure on that though. Just google how to make a dos boot disk and you should find something.

To make a dos boot disk? Insert floppy and format it with the bootable system stuff - windows will do this for you?

Hi -Mike-. Yes, XP will.

Put a floppy in you drive, navigate to My Computer, right click on you floppy drive to bring up the context menu, select Format and from the pop up menu there's the option to create a DOS start up disk.

HTH, dagwoood.

am i reading that correct? theres no cap on the official bios 1.80

Ninja

Edit: just checked ocworkbench and it seems theres no lock on bios 1.80

 

[Cyber-Mav]

yes there is no cap on the official 1.80 bios so its well worth getting it.

runs fine for me here, overclocks just the same as ocwbeta7. still has 1t issues so not sure if thats something that they will ever manage to sort out. hopefully they add the extra memory dividers.
