I have a small problem with my new shuttle SZ77R5 and was wondering if anyone has run into this... The 2 systems fans (Fan1/Fan2) on the motherboard do not spin up unless I enter the bios (press esc) durring bootup. If i enter the bios first during the boot up first (without changing anything)...

I am also in the process of putting together my Shuttle SZ77R5 so I might run into the same issue soon. I called shuttle when it was released and they said they were shipping them with a bios that wasn't compatible with ivy bridge (only sandy bridge) and a bios update was needed before it would...

Cool thanks for the info. I emailed the asetek support but I think I will just try to put it on broken or not use it instead of waiting for another one.

I'm in the process of installing the asetek 545LC in my SZ77R5. The "locking ring" circular plastic piece I have is broken on one side. Is this needed or can I just go ahead without it? http://s1161.photobucket.com/albums/q508/budio/

Does anyone know if a Geforce GTX 670 will fit in this case?

But you still need to have a compatible cpu installed to flash it first I think? and I don't have a sandy bridge laying around

That's true. I just called Shuttle usa (626.820.9000 ext: 204) and they said the SZ77R5 does not support ivy bridge yet even though they are being shipped. It will need a bios update that is not available yet before it will work with Ivy bridge.

I was going to wait until it hit newegg but i'm tempted to get it now too

or a few advil bottles would also do the job
