Well, I've plugged my mic into the rear ports and yes they do work. so it isn't the mobo thats fracked.

already ran the wizard....no mic picked up. gonna try the rear ports and the speaker speaker port as well.

would only work if the damn monitor was metal (when was the last time a monitor had a metal casing)

it is not just TS that isnt working (I cant even record my own voice using thw windows voice recorder) I've done some digging on the internet.

have not tried another mic...this one works on the old system (just tried it) I cannot get the mic to work period (not even in the windows "sound recorder") I can open up the audio properties with the little speaker in the systray, but cant get mic to work. Not sure if this has to do with the new 8.1 HD audio system on this board that I'm not used to compared to the AC'97 software, or its something else (maybe something is checked/unchecked that should/shouldnt be) No web cams...

I've re-built the system but cant seem to get voice to work for Teamspeak. I've plugged my mic into the front panel connectors (yes they are connected inside the box)

noted: Perfesser=Quarantined

exactly as we discussed on that other thread.... P5Q Pro mobo Intel E5200 4 gigs DDR2 Corsair dual channel pc8500 1066mhz RAM

I am assuming that since this game use to be able to run (hopefully still does) from an external drive or even a usb key for instance, that it has no registry entries and for the sake of speeding things up with my new system that I can just copy my good/working Il2 AAA modded install from one pc to the next (assuming I keep the exact same directory structure)

With regards to the memtest...... When it first boots up off the cd, the program automatically starts up (default setting, I guess). It fails/stops within seconds of the first test and the system reboots and starts the whole process over again, and again and again........... At first I thought I'd installed something wrong or had a bad component somewhere.

system up and running..... CPU temp holding at 24 degrees MB temp at 30 degrees. All fan spinning and being monitored. With regards to SATA drives: In the bios, do I want to set the SATA Configuration to: IDE- if to be used as a PATA storage device AHCI -not sure what this is...the manual says its allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced SATA features, increasing storage performance by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands Raid -NO I'm guessing the AHCI option...although the default is IDE. (I would have left this as is, but I was snooping while watching the temps and saw this and wondered what it was and what do do with it)

I think the board has a little beeper button...cant see it, but it has a marking on the mobo. As far as the eps line.

almost finished....just connecting the front panel connector and led lights to the mobo....I cant seem to find a speaker wire for the case speaker though.....I guess it doenst have one.

think I found an answer to my question about the orange and white sata connector on some forum: ..........don't put the boot HDD or Optical drive on the funny coloured SATA ports. ASUS have rather wonderfully taken the shiny new ICH10R controller which is SATA only and added a pair of PATA channels with an add-on controller from Promise Corp. If you have anything plugged in to the PATA port, nothing will occur on the orange or white SATA connectors. This is also something of a pet hate of mine - the use of the term IDE to describe PATA drives. Both SATA and PATA are IDE disks, it's just the interface on the back that makes them different. I think if people understood that, they might be more awake to realising that plugging something into a PATA port may well knock out a SATA drive and vice versa. Part one of the rant over. And then, just make everything even more unclear, ASUS have added a further BIOS level function to the orange and white SATA ports. If you have nothing attached to the PATA connector and two drives attached to the orange and white SATA connectors, Drive XPert will attempt to back up the Orange SATA drive to the white SATA drive all by itself. This is sort of explained on page 3-40 of the manual, but I would have thought that it's only common sense to think 'Why am I using the only two oddly coloured SATA connectors, why don't I try the ones that are all the same colour, and three times as many of them?" Anyhoo - plug all your SATA drives into RED ports and I think things will work much better for you. And all ranted out now, thank you! My manual is pretty vague about these ports (vague, as far as a newb is concerned anyway)

Ok, here is a pic so far.......... As you can see I've used a zip tie to pull the EPS cable away from the heat sink (however, it still rides up and over the black casing and circuit backing of the vid card.) as it makes its way to the top of the board You can also see that I've plugged all 3 of my SATA devices into the red sockets not the orange and the whites? (which are hidden from view from the cables that I havent tied back yet) I dont understand what the exact use of those two yet.

Thats quite a mod from the last pics you posted.....LOL I have 6 red SATA connectors, one orange and one white. The 6 red are: ICH10R Sata connectors (7pin SATA1-6 red) The other 2 are: Silicon Image Sata RAID connectors (7pin SATA_E1[Port0,orange], SATA1_E2[Port1, white] you indicated orange for the HDD, but I will not be using a raid. I was gonna just use the red ports (#1 for the hdd and #2 for the dvd and #3 for an eSATA connection coming from the front of the case) I got the impression that those other 2 were for raid setups and also used by the drive Xpert utility for backups and such, and all data on the drives could be erased if I used either the "EZ backup" utility or the "super speed" setup while connected to those ports.

would this work to extend my 8 pin EPS cable from the PSU? http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21040&vpn=8ATX12VP4&manufacture=nGear%20Technologies%20Inc%2E The cable from my PSU is actually 2 x 4pin connectors that are bundled together, but the end where the connector is is actually 2 pieces which snap together to make the 8pin connection. If this works I'm assuming I'd have to order 2 of them. [edit] or, just found this: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=41168F this may help to keep me from routing the cable the way I have.

still not quite sure how I want to wire these fans......... but I've ran into another bit of a problem. Cable management is not so easy with this box and psu. The psu location in this case is at the bottom.

A question about fans and connectors. My mobo has the following fan connections: CPU fan (4pin): obvious what goes there Cha-Fan1 (3pin) Cha-Fan2 (3pin) Pwr-Fan

the reason why is that the 512 dimm failed the memtest (which is why it was removed and replaced by a new 1 gig dimm)

I'm at work and just got a call from my wife. Looks like my parts showed up...BUT no case.

LOL, BG....I was considering overclocking too when I've got the new system built. I was assuming it was just a matter of telling the PC to go faster (somewhere in the bios).....lol I think I'll pass for now. :fighting:

the question is.....What did you do since the last time it worked Jedi?

I used to use unlimited....I now use 24
