I plan to install this new board I just got. I have no idea what bios is on it as I bought used and never asked. I am assuming it is 1.7.
I plan to run raid 0, and am wondering if there is a specific bios I want. I se that 17, 10, and 18 seem quite popular. As far as additional cooling for the board I have replaced the NB fan with a Vantec Iceberg and AS3 since it pushes more air, I will add a passive heatsink to SB and a 60 mm fan will be rigged to blow directly on the SB area. Have given thought to mosfet cooling via some bga ram sinks but do not now if this is necessary. Using an AX7 with Thermaltake Smart Fan2 on a Barton 2500 with 1 gig of PC3500 EL DDR OCZ .
Any feedback please, as well as particular bios settings regarding ram timing. I am wondering the difference between 6/6 and 3/3 as example as my Soltek Nforce2 did not offer these settings
