Just a warning.. the 1005.003 beta BIOS on Asus's web site is seriously messed up... with 1005.003 installed, if I have any nVidia driver installed, the computer doesn't get past the loading windows splash screen ... remove the nVidia driver (in safe mode) and it boots... install a driver, won't...
In the FX-55 system I just built, the CPU temperature (according to 'Asus Probe') is pretty much at 42 C all the time. Is this normal? Is that an "OK" temp? I haven't had an AMD CPU in a while, so I'm a bit out of touch with the norms (last time I had an AMD CPU, they were HOT all the time!)
I have an Athlon FX-55, an A8N-SLI Deluxe, and four 512MB sticks of Kingston DDR400 PC3200 RAM.
If I put in two of the sticks, it shows "DDR400" when I boot... all four sticks, and it shows "DDR333".
I bought the memory that is listed in the manual as being able to run in all four...
I just built this system:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Athlon64 FX-55 CPU
2 x MSI geForce 6800's
Sound Blaster Audigy ZS
Dell 2005FPW Wide Screen Monitor
4 x Kingston 512MB DDR400
Here is the problem ....
When I put two sticks of the memory in, the mobo detects it as DDR400...
