How do I control fans that I plug into this board?

[losttsol]

You need to download a program like speedfan in order to set speeds.

So far i am quite impressed with the systems stability and im going to slowly try adding more fsb till i get to 500mhz. There are some voltages that im not familiar with in the bios, they are probably just marked differently than on my MSI.

The stock memory voltage on this board is 1.8V, so you should only have to add +.4V to get it to 2.2V. Be careful with your voltages

I have speedfan....Whenever I chance any settings in the "config" portion, nothing changes.

You can leave them on Auto or set them yourself (I recommend setting them yourself, as the board will set them way too loose). To do so yourself, while on the main BIOS screen, hit CTRL +F1. Then go to M.I.T. and you'll be able to access the advanced timings.

i got it. thanks for that bud!
does this board have a v-droop mod or something? coz the v-droop is crazy on this one.

[Coelocanth]

No v-droop mod for this board that I've seen. There was speculation that the new bios version was supposed to address it, but from what I've seen posted the F8a beta doesn't.

This board is pretty cheap, but $50 is still a steal. Great find
