I guess I'm missing the point. Is audio working on your Asus board?
Since this is not a Windows forum I'm not sure how much help you'll get here. With that said, if you do a little research you'll find that no one here recommends running a Sandy Bridge processor on a Z77 board. Of course the review on this board was done with an Ivy Bridge 3570K.Help needed .....
Long time gigabyte user but first time with MSI
New build with MSI Z77MA-G45 and i5 2500K .16gb patriot ram 1866mhz , ati firepro v5800 .
Trying to get windows 7 64 bit stable with 1 hdd attached before I install mountain lion on it's own hdd.
So far really not impressed with this board and windows performance , cpu temps are hotter than the gigabyte z68x ud3p board I've replaced.By at least 6 degrees c.
And cpu temps are fluctuating by 7 degrees celcius every few seconds.All at idle.
Also task manager shows cpu usage jumping between 34% and 24% when at idle?
Board shipped with bios v1.9 .Using my existing windows hdd from my previous gigabyte build.
Was prepared for a bit of a struggle in mountain lion but not in windows?
To me looks like i5 2500k is not compatible with this board even though MSI state it is ?
Much prefer the gigabyte uefi bios too , but that's beside the point now.
Is it safe to update my desktop to 10.8.4?
(MSI Z77MA-G45)
