Which CPU and overclock to how(with original heatsink and fan)?
Which display card you used?
PC100 or PC133? CAS2 or CAS3?
Is that stable? Got any problem?

I just got an ASUS CUBX and the overclocking is outstanding. I will post more about that later but I do have a big problem. With Win 2k I can not get it to boot no matter what. Got 98 working fine without a reinstall but not 2k. About half way through the boot it comes up with the blue screen saying that it can't find the boot device. That is only when I am going through the CMD ATA66 IDE controler. It's fine with the boards ATA33 controler. I have tried everything so far to avoid a a new install. Has anyone else had this problem? The CMD controler works fine in 98 and is very fast with the drivers off the ASUS CD. I read somewhere the only way around the 2k boot problem is to reinstall. I hope not!

Got mine up and running last night. Using a P3 550e and 192 megs of PC133 Cas 2 and a Creative Labs Geforce 2. Running at 733(133 fsb) without a problem. Ran 3dmark 2000 this morning and WOW, 6926 3d marks. That`s several thousand higher than my trusty V3 was giving me. So far I am well pleased with the CUBX.

Dennis Travis, regarding your problems loading w2k, give this review a read http://www.gotapex.com/reviews/cubx/index.htm it's a very good review and they loved this board as did anandtech. I remember reading in the review his problem with w2k and the onboard ata66 controller and how to remedy it. and for anyone considering this board it's a very informative well written review. hope this helps

Thanks so much for that URL. That will solve my problem and told me a few things that even the Asus manual did not tell! Thanks so much.

My pleasure Dennis Travis, that was probably the best motherboard review I had ever read. :) I am nervously anticipating my cubx and celeron 566 and i've been reading about voltage problems on this board. I'm really hoping it will do 850. Can anyone testify to a Celeron 533a/566 oc'd to 100mhz fsb on the cubx?

I HAVE A CUBX AND A 550E HAVE HAD THE BOARD RUNNING FINE BUT WHEN REBOOTING WILL LOCK UP. IF I GO TO BIOS AND WATCH HARDWARE MONITOR VOLTAGES WILL GO WILD AFTER A BIT THEN LOCKS. NOONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHATS UP. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW WHY?
