For future reference...don't use @Bios to flash your BIOS...very risky. Even more risky in Vista. That goes for any Windows-based flash utility. Next time, save the BIOS files to a thumb drive and use Qflash in the BIOS...much safer. Good to hear you got your system going. Good board too...I wish I had go that one instead of the EP45-DS3R. What voltage do you have your CPU running at?

guess i got lucky using @bios... didn't know it was that risky. if i have to flash it again now i know to use qflash instead. i'm glad i didn't screw up my board.

got my cpu 3.2 on 1.225v and i ran prime95 over night with no errors.

took alot of trial and error just to get my rig together and then oc'ing.
