 PoxyPig's recommendation | |
Fan speed controller, ability to control overclocking from within Windows.
Lack of LPT port (others boards in P5B series have one!)
Problems with onboard sound and after system reset.
The manual is poor in some respects.
The onboard sound makes twittering noises, a pulse every second and when applications are working or the screen is scrolled. Also a beeping noise when windows are minimised / maximised. This can be stopped by switching the record input device to "stereo mix".
If the bios is set to check the cpu fan speed there is often a problem when a system reset is performed. The bios locks up after the memory check, sometimes falsely reporting that the cpu fan has stopped.
