Quoting John R Pierce <pierce@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
If it's not too late, return the motherboard, get something else.
My personal experience with Intel's desktop motherboards is that they
work most of the time for most of the people.
thats been the exact opposite of my experiences with Intel branded
motherboards. They've been consistently well engineered, and well
built, have very good aftermarket support (BIOS upgrades and drivers
are still available for nearly every board they've ever made, and they
are MUCH better documented than the typical taiwan stuff).
Have you ever had to actually deal with Intel support. Like, you have
an issue, they resolve it? I had to call them couple of times. They
did little or nothing. The answer was always "it is not our problem
that motherboard we made doesn't work". Well engineered? Motherboard
that doesn't want to power on because you plugged a PCI card into it
can hardly be called well engineered. Thermal specs available on the
web? More or less useless to end users.
As I said. They work most of the time. When they do work, they work
great. When they don't work, good luck in getting any kind of support
from Intel. Been there, done that. Ended up dissapointed big time.
