I've just built my new pc
EX38-DS4
Q6600 @ 3.2ghz (1.35v) w Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
9800GTX video card
8GB DDR2-800 Geil Value
Corsair HX-620 PSU
Vista X64 SP1
I have a few issues.
1. When powering on the pc, it turns itself on very quickly, then turns itself off, and then back on and boots normally.
can be seen in this vid here - http://www.w0mb13.com/pubfiles/pcbootwtf.wmv
I have seen posts all over the internet where this same thing is happening to others on a whole range of different gigabyte motherboards, and they say it's fine, it's normal - but i just want to double check.
2. Sys_fan2 header does not work. I have a 120mm arctic cooling PWM fan plugged into the header and it does not spin. It will quickly spin when powering on the pc, and then it remains off. There is no option in the bios for the sys_fan2 header, only PWM settings for the CPU fan. The fan is not faulty.
3. E-sata does not work. When plugging anything into E-sata, the system does not see any changes. AHCI is enabled and drivers are updated. When plugging in my Vantec nexstar3 into the pc before boot, the AHCI boot tool will take about 2 minutes before continuing and it does not find the drive, after this the vista loading screen will continuously loop until the drive is removed.
Ports are
sata1 = dvd drive
sata2 = hard drive
sata3 = esata
sata4 = nothing
sata5 = esata
apart from these issues, the system is perfectly stable and speedy in the OS.
