If you get a certain revision of the board, the memory will try to boot at 1.8V standard, which would probably mean that your OCZ memory wouldn't boot with that board unless you were to take 1.8V rated memory and changed the voltage to 2.0 in the BIOS. I had to let the store I bought it from flash my BIOS before sending it to me. If you are going to order both of those parts at newegg (or your entire system in fact) see if they can check for you if the parts boot well together. Consider the quote below;
You have also picked OCZ and from what I've read, OCZ doesn't work too great with the P5B-E. In fact, it's a very picky board when it comes to memory. So do a search to see if the motherboard has been tested with your memory, or get other memory. My G.Skill worked fine.
While your board is being flashed, you also eliminate the possibility that it doesn't support C2D processors (a problem that my friend had with his P5B Deluxe).
Anyway, it's just a warning. Other than the little BIOS flaw, the board is great (although my pc is currently at repair, the motherboard might have given up already, but my case is exceptional). |
Thanks for the heads up, I will check around.. see what is up with it.. worst comes to worse Ill just pick up a different motherboard and completly avoid the issue.
ste, I have everything.. Im just upgrading from S939/AMD 3700/DFI Lanparty.
