Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I think BIOS 13 for this board needs some clarification. Yes, Abit did screw up here but it seems a lot of people need to get their facts straight as well. Yes, this update requires Flashmenu v. 1.5.0.5 as a minimum. I have seen several other versions quoted but this is the one. Yes, for some...
Interesting build ... and somewhat similar to mine.
Just a note ... I actually bought the same disk(s) as you "Seagate 7200.10 320GB" but ended up exchanging it because the excessive noise it produced. I have read this is very dependent on the factory / country that it is produced in...
I researched this myself and found several sources that stated and/or showed that both the Zalman 7700 and 8000 series fit without modification. I can only assume that the 7500 series and fatal1ty fit without a problem as well. I ended up going with a (cheaper) thermaltake blue orb II which...
For some reason I doubt that the new BIOS is localized specifically for the US. You may want to try and verify this first. I am based in Europe myself and just used the one from the global site. I have had no special problems so far except the funny thing is (compared to you) that I only...
I have a very similar setup to yours and have also had a good experience with the board so far. The above BIOS problem with CPU temperature / cooling I actually solved using speedfan (v. 4.32) (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) freeware. It supports VISTA 32/ 64 and resuming which was key...
I just flashed to the new BIOS and everything seems to work great BUT ... there has to be a but .... I am getting incorrect tempurature readings from my CPU (E4300). The BIOS claims -1 Celsius and the temperature seems to increase at a normal rate under load. It worked fine before to the best...
An updated BIOS (m612a12) has just been released on abits global homepage.

Will try it out tomorrow. Bothers me a little that they didn't really address the changes...
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this review yet:

I question the real value of comparing this board directly to ATX boards at twice the price. They do mention this fact throughout the article but still manage to make a few good...
Hi Steeeeve ... just curious ...
I noticed that the page about this board in your store mentions you talking to abit ... did you get there current position on these issues or any other assurances that you can share with us. You don't sound very reassured in any case.
I would understand...
On a more positive note.
I have built the following Vista MCE PC based on the F-I90HD without any significant hardware problems:
Abit F-I90HD - BIOS ID:11 - 2/11/2007 (from the Abit Web Site)
Abit - AirPace Wi-Fi (PCI-E)
Intel C2D - E4300 - No Overclock (Not before a mature BIOS)...
