Hi,
What's the fastest PIV CPU the board can handle?
Cheers in advance

detecting the onboard SCSI when booting. At first, it was once in a
while and another three finger boot would get me up and running again,
but now it's so bad that I have to three finger boot for a half an
hour before it will detect the onboard SCSI and boot.
Any ideas?

Just a long shot but try changing the SCSI cable for another one. I
had a problem with the same sort of thing with a RAID controller and
it turned out to be the cable. Drives disappeared every couple of
weeks to begin with and then got more frequent - ie. evry 4 hours.
Replaced the cable and now it works fine. It had worked for months
before this in same config with no problems....
You don't normally think of a cable as failing like this!!

How is the power supply doing ? Have you checked the voltages lately
in the hardware monitor, via MBM or Asus Probe ?
Ronald Cole said:From the BIOS:
** Thermal Monitor **
CPU Temperature : 53 C/127 F
MB Temperature : 32 C/ 89 F
** Voltage Monitor **
VCORE Voltage : 1.7V
+3.3V Voltage : 3.2V
+5V Voltage : 4.9V
+12V Voltage : 12.1V
-12V Voltage : -12.5V
-5V Voltage : -5.1V
Is that "close enough for government work"? Or is it about to go
belly-up?

should work, up to 2.6 GHz I suppose
Clock´n Roll said:2,8ghz 533 P4 here...

Ronald Cole said:Well, I found and fixed it. It WASN'T the cable. It WASN'T the cmos
battery. It WAS the bios. I got the board with 1008 and upgraded it
1012B a few years ago. I don't know whether EEPROMs can get "tired"
and flip bits, but an upgrade to 1013 "cured" the problem, whatever it
was exactly... go figure!
