Alright, I knew about the BIOS bug in this board when I got it, its not really an issue for me so it is alright.

This is also the first board I have had that detects the on-die temperature of the CPU. The only component in this system that is different is the board itself, the rest all worked great on the old board. Now the issue is that apparently the on-die temperature can reach up to 80C before I even have Windows installed. The external temp and system temp are both the same as they were on the old board, so I would imagine that the on-die temp was the same on the old board as well. Does this mean that the CPU will run fine with such a high on-die temp? If it will, I suppose I will just turn off the Anti-burn feature and let it run so "hot".

EDIT: Can't forget another annoying problem with this board. It would seem that it doesn't like to work with my old IBM Model M keyboard in the BIOS or most DOS functions. I can hit delete on it to get into the BIOS but after that it does not work. This isn't that great of an issue because it seems to work just fine with any other keyboard I plug in.. It's just upsetting because I like my Model M the most.
