That's weird, i had no problems with wireless mouse or keyboard in win 7 or vista 64. Try a different USB port maybe.

I didn't have a problem either. Both XP and Vista work fine with wireless. as stated before try a different USB port or try reloading drivers. It's deffinetly an OS issue since it works in the BIOS.

Updating newer bios with a wired combo keyboard and mouse, then wireless keyboard and mouse work well. Really weird . However, I love this it, my Kuma can be overclocked to 3.4Ghz with vcore 1.36V

So its BIOS issue then.. Problem solved?

Ok, I connected my new board with my new 940BE, to my old computer and worked perfect. Did a bk of my personal data, and reinstalled Vista 64.
Installed all latest drivers and all works good. (wireles keyboard included).
It had BIOS P03, so I upgraded to P07 and everything work ok.
Runned a 3dMark Vantage getting a kind of slow score, so I have to look into that....

FOXCONN A79A-S with AMD X4 940BE, 8GB OCZ, ATI 4890.
All with default settings and got the result from the attached image. But the system has 0 problems after running more than 48hs

This motherboard gave me a lot of hassle. I tried to overclocked 7750+ to 3.4Ghz vcore 1.256+0.24*5, but it wasn't stable after 7 minutes run orthos small test Cpu. Should I adjust something? I don't know anything about this Foxconn bios, it was weird. I also can not see where the Cool and quiet function.

[nirianto]

The AMD Cool n Quiet is under cpu configuration -> Powernow.

Isn't AMD Cool n Quiet enabled by default? if not, is there a reason no to enable it?

I believe it is enabled by default, but if you are going to overclock you want to have total control of your cpu multiplier so you want to disable it. Otherwise, everytime the cpu is idling, its gonna throttle down. If you want to save electricity and etc, have it enabled.

Thanks, I'll disable it when stat with some OC...

Anyone has some performance/tweaks for this board? has anyone tired windows 7 RC?
