For some reason when I go to standby on this mobo, the monitor shuts down, windows goes on standby, but my fans are still spinning on my system. Is there an option I missed in BIOS or in Windows?

Also is anyone having issues with the Realtek onboard sound. I mean playback is fine, but recording causes issues. Like I can't use the Realtek HD Digital Input or the Audio Input. I can use the Microsoft Sound Mapper-Input, but that defaults to my mic instead of recording off the onboard sound.
 
yea.. you have to set the bios to go into S3 Shutdow. It should be under the "Power" section in bios.
 
haha i had the same problem today and i fix it .. go to your bios. power management setup on ACPI suspedn type and set it to S3 .. and done!
 
Sweet! Thanks guys.

edit: Bah. Wouldn't u know it. Something weird just has to happen lol. For some reason, when I come back from stand by mode, my montiors won't turn back on. =P

More testing I guess.

Wait, to get out of stand by with the S3 option do u just press any key or do u actually have to push the power button? I seem to have to use the power button.

NVM it magically works now. =P
 
sometimes the monitors take a few to charge or get power signal.... thats all .. also you can make the command to wake up from mouse movement ;)
 
Bah. For some reason the monitor won't turn back on after standby again. This is driving me nuts! Does anyone know what controls the monitor turning back on after stand by? Is it an nvidia driver I'm supposed to look into, the BIOS?

The mouse command sounds cool gabesir, but I have no idea how to do that.
 
Are you overclocking? I had the same problem with S3 shutdown while overclocking. If I ran at stock, suspend seemed to work fine. I decided I'd rather have +1.03GHz and use hibernate instead of suspend.
 
People actually use standby mode?

I have power management turn off the monitor after about 20 minutes or so and that's it. Standbuy doesn't do your hard disk any favors and for some reason Windows PC's love to lock up when they are going in or coming out of standbuy mode.

QFMFT.... having worked on a slew of validation problems regarding this I can tell you that, with the exception of my laptops, I don't use standby mode for shit. Though it should be noted that this is less of a problem with PCs and more of an issue with the OS.

Last time I had issues with standby was with VIA KT-266 and nForce 1, none since then even my BX-P3-550 didn't have standby issues. Read through MS KB/FAQ's?

I have a DS3/E6600 and an Asus A8N-SLI/3500+ and neither has any Standby Issues at all. But I use ATI video cards in both, ummm?
 
I only shut off my monitor.

Too many potential problems with Standby.

Besides with the Core2 if you have the Speedstep stuff enabled, it will drop to 6x multiplier & 1.05v for significantly lower temps & power usage.

The only problem I've noticed is that it will stay in the 6x mode for some benchmarks, b/c they're not intense enough all the way through.
Like my 3dMark2005 was like 11,800 b/c it dropped to 6x a few times during run. then with "Speedstep" off it was over 12k. Same thing with SuperPI, it would drop to 6x multiplier a few times and have a slightly slower score.

So just a note, if you're benchmarking turn it off while testing for scores & stability.

I have it on now, and it drops to 2Ghz (6x333) @ 1.05v when not under heavy load. For heavy use it jumps to 9x333 = 3Ghz @ 1.368v
