Go Button
Go button/MEM OK serves 2 functions depending on the power state.

If you press the go button while in windows, the board reboot and
load a preset overclocked profile that the user defined in the bios,
then the system will restart.

When your computer is in the OFF state, by holding down this
button, It will turn your system on and you would be activating
the MEM OK process. This is used when you are not able to boot or
run your system due to memory issues. BEFORE the CPU is initialized,
it will attempt to interact with the memory and see if it can post
with the pre-detected settings. If it still cannot post, the system
will try to adjust the memory timing. If it’s not successful, it
will adjust the frequency. If it’s not successful, it will attempt
voltage cycling. If it’s still not successful it will try a mixture
of all three. In a complete rare event, it will lock the Dram LED
and let you know there is an issue with the memory. You may need
to try 1 or 2 dimms and other diagnostic measures.

Just for Formula Wheres the Extreme Club ?

I will be in this club,just wish they would hurry up and at least show us it already as i am building a pc into a desk and need to know what style to base it upon.I like to make everything co ordinated in colour and style,cant wait to get shot my current rig.

As will I. I check the Egg every morning about 4:15am, right after the coffee is ready. As soon as they have one, "It's mine!"

Oh, That also applies to the FX (Bulldozer) CPU's.

I will post a thread like I did with the AM3+ MoBo.
