some are having problems with corsair memory with that board. and as far as power supplye dfi recomends at least 480watts and 24 pin power cord. i would head on over to dfi-street.com if your still thinking of using dfi. lots of good info there on what ram to use and power supply.

How is the OCZ OCZ520ADJ 520W Power Supply? And whats the 24 pin power cord for? Does the power supply come with this? I looked at the forums for dfi and it seems like 20% people are running corsair xms series type ram successfully. Would you think after the new bios revision that it would be easier? What would be the best type of ram for overclocking on this board? Thanks a lot for the advice. ;)
