Re: DZ68BC Bios 39

Man Intel you guys suck. After reading this I'll stick with 0028. I see it's the same crowd that has had issues in the past. This board is JUNK! Even with 0028 I'll power the computer on sometimes to find out that the BIOS has reset itself and lost all of my settings. Just think guys and gals when Broadwell gets here we might all be forced to use Intel boards.

This isn't issue specific but it might explain some of your problems.

Still no fixed BIOS for DZ68BC

BIOS 0049? What board are you talking about? Latest BIOS for the DZ68BC is 0037, and from what I can tell reading here is that it's crap.

*EDIT*

Nevermind, just saw you are talking about a different Intel branded board.

As Alice Cooper said "welcome to my nightmare". This board is junk and from what I can tell Intel's service is junk. Sure they are RMAing the boards but the fix for the fix for the fix BIOS files are BROKEN.

Prime95 is still a decent stability test, but there are better ones out there. If you want to test all of your RAM download and run LinX. This program also beats the hell out of the CPU so it's closer to OCCT stress than Prime95 stress.

That setup will probably pull 350W at the wall. If you want to save some bucks pickup a good 550W PSU. Also those Ultra Kaze fans are loud and I only have a couple of the 2000RPM ones. If you put them on a rheostat or a 7V/5V adapter then they'll be fine.

When I get a new board I'll post a video on Youtube of me, my DZ68BC and my AK-74. Good times.

ASRock boards have a 3 year warranty. Also worth noting ASUS owns ASRock but they operate independently of ASUS.

Positively skip the Intel board. If you do a quick search for that board you see all kinds of issues. I'm sure the same can be said at the other board's sites but I can almost guarantee you that they will work faster to correct issues.

If you can swing it I'd get the ASUS board. No reason spend all that money on a nice CPU/RAM/GPU/etc... to have the "brain" be a dud.

Intel has left a bad taste in my mouth with this motherboard purchase (DZ68BC). Onboard video depends on which CPU get. I would personally get the ASUS board. If money is tight and you want a lot of bells and whistles I'd look at ASRock.

If you're getting an Ivy Bridge CPU then I'd suggest you grab a Z77 motherboard.
