EZ Flash is the bomb. I just used it to update it to the newest beta 0903. Anyone here try it out yet? So far so good.
Thanks man, am going to have to do a little research on it. Have you tried the SAS ports? With a SCSI hard drive of coarse.Marvell and correction to my previous post, the 0903 is indeed still a beta bios release.
I only have sata drives on mine, they work good though
I'm going to be starting my build soon, and I just want to know if you guys are setting your ACPI to 2.0? I heard it's not set to 2.0 by default. Thanks!

Were there any RAID cards tested with this or any other of the i7 boards? I am hesitant to make the move until I know I can take my SAS setup with me.
I have a LSI LSI00118 MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP
and a
Adaptec 3805 and also a 5405
Dan,
Do you know if the Marvell setup is more software based like the Cipricos Raidcore cards? Cant seem to get to much information on Marvell other than a sales pitch.
:s
Can live with two SAS ports and the rest can run off NAS.
Does anybody have any info/specks on ASUSs setup with the Marvell chip?
Thanks,
Mario
@ LibertySyclone, Dude you rock! Sounds like you have a good friend.Ok, I was able to con a friend with this board to come and hang out last night. I threw in my LSI LSI00118 MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP, along with my Savvios and bam right into vista. No issues. so then i grabbed a couple 75GB rapts and put them into RAID using the on board, which also worked w/o a hitch.
For those asking why i put the rapts in RAID using on board.... If you use the onboard SAS you can no longer use on board SATA RAID. which IMO was a crappy call by ASUS.
SAS speeds using on board with 2 fuji 15k 147GB were around the 180MB/s read speeds. I see very similar speeds on 2 of my seagate 2.5" 74GB savvios and my LSI controller.
Adaptec 3805 and 5405 card DO NOT WORK currently with the P6T, this could just need a BIOS or firmware update on the card or MoBo.
Midian, I wasn't able to test your question, but the NB cooler may be a tad tall for that. not saying it wont work, its a definite maybe.
My highpoint 2314 seems to cause video corruption if placed in the 4x slot. I figure the 4x slot is probably southbridge provided and is causing issues.
If i put both the adaptec and the highpoint in the 16x slots, I get some no space for PCI option rom errors, but the system still boots and I can still get into the BIOS of each raid card. I did have to disable some of the onboard boot roms, like the marvell sas and the marvell ide.
On a side note, it seems Adaptec released a new driver this month, but I havent had a chance to try it out yet.
What brands of RAM seem to be working well on this board other than Corsair?
Good revew. Question though: Why would we need that much RAM anyways? I mean, 12GB of memory for what exactly?
