yeah, a FAN SPEED REDUCER CABLE is an easy fix!

Mine is running pretty damn silent with the cpu fan speed control enabled in bios and the stock cooler (I know I set it to target speed 1, but can't remember what I set target CPU temp to...55C maybe). I'm running one of the enermax case fans with a zalman fanmate2 and I set it to just below the point where I can hear it (the bios control with the low-RPM enermax didn't want to spin it low enough). I have another fan in the case so I might try linking both to the zalman or 5/7V modding them...but for now one fan is keeping temps low enough.

Just a heads up--Win7 does NOT like the usb3 ports. There is a windows update that fixes them, but you can't use them to install...you have to plug your keyboard/mouse into either the two USB2 ports on the back or into front ports connected to the USB headers. Once you get all of the windows updates applied, the USB3 ports will work (this seems to be a known issue...only solution is to install the drivers from windows update)

Hey,
Any problems with that board?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...-A75M-UD2H

I thought about getting that instead of the Asrock because of the internal USB3.

what do u mean?

TeKo · 2012-01-07 17:33

Can I turn it on with a USB IR?
Its hard to find anything.
It has On/Off Charge Technology that should mean that I can power it on by USB since most new boards have WO-USB?

oh ok, well, never bought/used that gigabyte motherboard.
i cant confirm something i dont know, sorry

This one is- ASRock A75M FM1 AMD, because AsRock included "On/Off Play Technology" in their bios/USB for MCE IR/Remote.

page is down atm.

Iam not 100% sure but I think Asrock CIR only works with their Smart Remote and only with front USB (CIR is next to internal USB and you have to take pins from usb and from CIR).
