I noticed this header too and initially plugged one of my CPU fans to CPU_FAN and the other to CPU_FAN_OPT. Then I re-read the manual, I think CPU_FAN_OPT is a monitored fan in BIOS but it is not a controllable fan by FAN Xpert. The only ones that are controllable are CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN1 and...

Did you keep the 3.5" SATA III USB add-on for your case, or did you send that back with your old board?

Are they still giving out free earbuds with the RMA? Do we need to send back all the accessories?

++++++1 Why hasn't there been a resolution for this problem?

update: Well, colour me surprised! I called Seagate support to confirm if the RMA request I submitted is valid and they assured me that yes, physical damage of this sort is still covered under warranty. She said they replace damage like this all the time, such as external drives where the usb...

Anyone considering holding out on the swap in order to return and get a Z68 when yhey come out? The store I bought from told me I shouldn't have problems returning the board later as it is considered defective merchandise. I just worry they may re-neg on that offer down the road

Ya you know what that's what I've done. I didn't need to glue the piece back in order to access the data, so quickly imaged it to a partition on another drive. The only reason I'd glue it back on is if I wanted to be cheap and take the risk that I can stretch out the drive longer.

Well since the drive worked without the piece glued back in I'm pretty sure I could glue it to ensure a more snug fit. I would just be paranoid that my drive could fail at any minute. Maybe I'll backup more frequently. :P

Okay I made a big boo-boo the other day and broke the plastic around the SATA connector of my 1Gb Seagate 7200.12 drive. Luckily the pins were still intact and my motherboard came with latching SATA cables which made the drive still readable. I immediately backed up the drive and am wondering...

I did the same, got an RMA # with ASUS but have also been in contact with my retailer ++++. Either way I hope I'll be covered. Move all my drives to the SATA3 ports, only have optical drives on the SATA2 ones so I feel pretty safe.

Yes, it allows you to overclock your CPU like the P67 while using the on-die GPU like the H67. So P67 + H67 = Z68

I hope so too. With them claiming it is defective merchandise, I would think that means you can return it anytime for full money back, then buy whatever you want. I really hope this happens.

This is what a rep from N.C.I.X emailed me: Me: Bought an asus p8p67 deluxe board on Jan 12. Will I be able toexchange my board for a new Z68 board when they are released? I'll pay the difference. N.C.I.X: The exchange would be treated as "defective merchandise" (so no restocking fees...

++++++++++++1 Hopefully Asus is keeping watch of this thread and will seriously consider this. Or perhaps my etailer, ++++.

Disabling Internal PLL Overvolt solved my sleep/resume problems, but now I can't get a stable overclock. Before I was 8 hr prime 95 stable on my 2600K @ 100x46 and 1.340V. Now I'm testing up to 1.390V but it seems to crash in under an hour. update: okay I'm 8 hr Prime 95 stable at 1.390 V...
