Question 1

I purchased this board for a WHS with a I-3 3220T processor. I am having two issues. 1. I have it hooked up via HDMI to a Pioneer VSX-822 receiver, and having problems waking up the video after being turned off. I also can't install a Intel video driver. It completely hoses up video apon restart. I have to go to safe mode and roll back the driver to get video back. 2. Unable to get server to sleep. Anyone Have suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Have you tried turning off the power management to see if the issue goes away?  It does sound like a driver issue though.  Does ASUS support have an updated driver?

Question 2

How many fans can I plug into this motherboard? I know that their is power for a cpu fan, but i am clueless as to how many fans i can use with this motherboard.

Accepted Answer

I'm fairly certain this motherboard has 3 fan connections. One for the cpu and two for the case. A lot of fans come with molex adapters too, so you can connect directly to the power supply. The only drawback with using a molex adapter is that the motherboard can't control the fan speed. But you can get some fans with built in temperature sensors if it's really an issue for you.

Question 3

I want to know the compatibility with Celeron g1620 so I can buy it for sure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Intel's compatibility with this generation is the easiest ever. If it is the same socket then it's compatible.

Question 4

I have a new build (I have built this same machine a few times) and the graphics card is out of stock (SAPPHIRE 100323-2L Radeon HD 6570 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card). What other graphics card works with this board and supports a dual monitor setup? This computer will be solely used for business purposes in an accounting position. Thank for your help.

Accepted Answer

If you're using a modern intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor, then you won't need a video card at all for business purposes. That's built into the CPU. The motherboard has outputs for VGA, DVI and HDMI, any of which can be easily adapted to most monitors. It won't be the speediest setup for games, but it will play even 1080p videos just fine.

Question 5

I plugged in an HDMI cable but cannot get any signal to my TV.  Do I have to do something else to get the dual monitor feature to work?  Thanks for any help, Ron

Accepted Answer

Assuming you're running Windows 7 or 8 you might need to setup multiple monitors. Use the windows key + P to change your monitor config. You can change it from the display control panel as well.

Question 6

a) Does this motherboard support memory speeds of 1600 Mhz for Sandy Bridge (Intel second generation) processors (such as the i5-2400) which natively only support 1333Mhz?
b) Does this motherboard support SATA III?
c) Does this motherboard support ACHI for solid state drives (SSDs)?

Accepted Answer

Yes to all. I have it running with GSkill Sniper 8GB 1600Mhz with a Crucial M4 SSD running at sata 3 with AHCI mode on.
