And This again thanks to RGone

Three interesting FAQs about ICFX3200T2R/G.

 

Q: Under overclocking, how to synchronize the FSB and DDR Bus on the LP UT ICFX3200-T2R/G?

Running in SYNC mode.

 

Q: Can we install operating system to RAID array by using SATA CD/DVD ROM while the Onboard ATI RAID ROM is set to enabled?

SATA Optical and ATI RAID controller enabled. NOTE: the model of SATA Optical that is shown to work.

 

Q:How to use the BIOS bootable feature and boot up from USB Memory Stick ?

http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downlo...E=MB&SIT E=US DFI official download site. Bios > Drivers > Manual. "Only" the latest driver that DFI has tested. Note also Beta Site and Old Product download links at bottom of the page.

 

Note here: Bios download page has links to *how to* flash bios on left side of menu...Also are shown *how to* for using Winflash bios flashing tool from within Windows and where to download same.

 

Note here: Any bios download file shown as EXE is a diamond flash image type file download and right there at the download site there is a link to follow IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH DIAMOND FLASH IMAGE FILE USEAGE.

 

Note here: there are also shown *how tos* for determining your motherboard revision on the Bios flash pages.

 

http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html ATI/AMD Driver downloads. Quick Link "find a driver" also video card and motherboard drivers.

 

Other Driver sites that may be useful on your particular model of motheboard...

 

http://www.realtek.com.tw/ Realtek website for some Audio Driver and Lan Driver. Download by the model component on your board and operating system in use. Also has search feature and downloads link at top.

 

http://www.siliconimage.com/support/downloadcenter.aspx Silicon Image download site. Download driver according to the model of controller installed on your motherboard and the operating system in use.
