Don't forget the ^F1 thing for the hidden extra feature, ( Advance BIOS
Options) but it also I have just found out bangs your DDR Voltage up to
max
of 2.917v..

Also note that this board Supports APIC, and gives 24 IRQ's..

If you have a Zalman cooler install the ram 1st because it overhangs the
dimm slots. Also don't bother with the dual power supply thing. Check
out posts regarding drive slots - there are 3 RAID controllers and the
manual is very confusing.

Do not use the Zalman use the Gigabyte 3D Cooler, performs better and has
no
installation problems at all.
