Hey I have recently purchased this motherboard along with
amd 64 3500+
1 gig of corsair twinx ddr400
a 74 gig 10000 rpm sata wd raptor
dvd burner
a chaintech 6600gt pci expresss
rosewill 400 watt power supply
and i have never been so frustrated in my life
firstly i mounted the motherboard on the removable mb rack in my case... hook everything up and no go
i tried several times then i realized that i was shorting it out because of the metal on the motherboard tray
so i then place a nonconductive material between the mb and the tray... and power
well i had all the case fans + the hs fan running and the hd spinning
then i hooked up the vid card and the fan on it was spinning so i then hooked up the monitor... no video nothing
then i hooked up the cases speaker and when booting up there were constant long beeps which i guess means dram error ... so i kept switching up the ram in different slots and tried again still no go....
One thing i should mention is that the the motherboard i recieved does not have a chip set fan on the northbridge..
Like this one here http://www.newegg.com/app/Show...mage=13-128-268-02.jpg
instead it looks like it has some sort of passive cooler... does anyone have the same motherboard and notice the same thing ... cause when i touched the nb durin run time it became extremely hot very quickly... i think that i may have a defective board
someone plz help
