RE: Advanced settings for GA-EG45M-UD2H

Etienne,

Two things...

First, the CPU VCore setting is one that is best to sneak up on... your .9 volt is a safe starting point. After you have your machine fully configured and running cMP, you can drop it by a step or two, boot the machine, run it for an hour or two, then if it seems stable, drop it by another step or two and repeat. I'm at .75625v now and at the edge of instability... I got some minor, occasional playback glitches when I first set it this low, now that it's been running a few days it's pretty stable and I'll try one more step down soon.

Second, I experienced the same issue with the USB mouse with USB 2.0 shut down in the BIOS. But after I loaded the Touchpad software for the Zalman touchscreen, I could shut down USB 2.0 and the mouse would work ok. If you have the recommended Zalman case with touchscreen, this is a good path forward. If not, I'm sure there is a driver that can be loaded to make it work, but I haven't spent time trying to track it down.

Good luck. Let us know how it works out!

P.S. Theob & all, I'll be posting a few impressions of the sonic differences soon. Now that I've got the new board as configured as I think it can be with the currently available BIOS settings and it's had a week or so to break in, I want to put in the old motherboard and listen a bit before publishing detailed impressions. But in short, it sounds very good in some ways, but I think additional BIOS options and/or configuration settings will be required to get the best performance out of it.
