I used to love this board, but imo chaintech sucks when it comes to a good bios. I updated to the 7/29 bios and a world of problems happened. I am now using the original one.
First problem, my storage hard drive catches on fire...literally...I know this is not related to chaintech though. I already have a RMA on the way but everything is lost
2nd problem, my computer now makes a high pitched noise, it seems either hd related or video card related. When anything loads, the noise goes away. When I scroll, the noise goes away. Flashing back to the original bios fixes this problem.
3rd problem, TEMPERATURE INCREASE AHOY!!! My idle sky-rocketed to 58c even though I have good cooling. I know their are other threads discussing this topic though.
4th problem, bios lockups. Hitting delete to enter bios sometimes causes it to freeze up.
Here are my specs, ive spent 4 hours this morning tinkering with drivers and options and I got tired of it so I flashed to the old bios. Which fixed everything except my hard drive.
Athlon 64 3000+ CG revision @ 2.4ghz @ 1.6 vcore
Cooling SLK-948U w/ Thermaltake Smart Fan
Chaintech VNF3-250
1024 PC3500 Kingmax 2.5,3,3,6
BFG 6800GT @ 395/1045
WD Raptor 36GB 10,000RPM
