GA-P55-USB3 build - Questions about Audio, etc

[dead2sin]

I'm looking at using the following 3 things for my build:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115215

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102801

Will I have any issues? Should this work well?? How about the audio? I wasn't sure if this audio codec would work without issues.

Also, I have a RT2860 Wireless N card, but I've read you can only use the driver for it in 32bit mode. Any suggestions for a wireless card that would just work using the airport menu?

Thanks!

Nate

That is a Brilliant wireless solution! Thanks for the guide.

How about Audio? I'm having a heck of a time finding a ALC889a motherboard (Everyone is sold out!).

Are any of the other motherboard's Audio (ALC888, ALC889, etc) going to work well with multibeast and no real fussing?

Thanks,

Nate

The other motherboards do work and are supported by MultiBeast. But watch out for some of the newer Rev 2 Gigabyte boards. They say they have one of the supported codec's in the specifications, but when you look at the manual you see they are using the ALC892 which is only supported using the open source VoodooHDA driver.

Thank you for the great info. I just broke down and ordered the GA-P55-USB3. I hope all goes well. Tomorrow I'll have all my parts and I'll report back how it went
