Here are the parts: e8400, IP35 Pro, 2x2GB mushkin DDR2-800, 9600GT, 320GB Seagate, Vista Ultimate x64.
Got it all built this evening and fired it up (moved hdd from old setup, e6400 on IP35-E). Vista threw a fit but after two reboots it reactivated without any problems and settled down and everything seems to be working fine.
Except for my keyboard. Which won't work when plugged into any of the USB ports on the back of the system. Works fine plugged into any of the four ports on the front of the case.
I also noticed one other issue. When I tried to OC a bit (9x400) the system hangs before trying to load Windows (never makes it to the swoosh screen) and refuses to load. I will try some lower level overclocking but I'm going to be mighty disappointed if I can't even reach 3.6GHz with this cpu.
Any suggestions on either problem?
EDIT: One more thing. My AC Freezer 7 Pro cycles up and down almost every time I do anything. Open a new browser window: cycles up then down. Open email window: cycles up then down. Etc etc. Annoying as hell. Any suggestions? The stock fan on my e6400 on the IP35-e never did this...
