I popped into this article because I might buy this today.

 

Problem:  My current ASUS board (M2R32-MVP) constantly resets my boot order to boot to my USB drives every time I hook up 2 or more of them.  Sabretooth and another ASUS board, also have the same, *UNRESOLVED* problem.

 

I'd like to know if this problem remains in the firmware, or if it's fixed.  I'd guess...  It's probably newly written UEFI or whatever, instead of BIOS, so it's probably 'fixed' that way.  They'll just call our sht deprecated and move on.

 

I guess I probably answered my own question.  But if anyone can confirm, plz do.  TY.  :O)

 

EDIT:  I just have to add...  I'm also looking at other brands now, just because of the problem I explained.  It actually breaks my heart a little.  Ever since I dumped A-bit, (which was before, they were 'well known',) I've never seriously considered any other brands.  But this problem rises to the level of making the product DEFECTIVE, frankly.  It's really sad.  All they need to do, is un-f--- their old firmware for their customers, and all would be well.  But I don't see them doing it, because its old.  And that's not cool with me.  Oh well.  :O(

Just installed this new board and overall I love it. I'm going to have some fun in the next year or so, playing with the support for OC that this board provides.

My only complaint is the lack of connectors on the board itself for front panel USB ports. I had purchased a new feature rich card reader that had 3 USB ports, SATA and support for a 1394 front panel connection that I was looking forward to installing. But, because the MB has just 1 USB connection I couldn't use the reader as it required access to two on board USB connections. As such, I have to use a very basic, featureless card reader and I am also unable to use the two USB ports that are on the front of my Antec case as there is no connection port to connect to. I've never had this problem with an ASUS board before, my last MB, the ASUS P6T had 3 connectors which would have allowed me to use all of the above without any problem.
