Albatron K8SLI

Hi I know it is only a small issue but on the albatron website for the K8Sli, it states that the 'board has "1 x 3 pin Power LED header" (http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/i...asp?pro_id=190)
However on tryin to install the mobo into my new case I discovered a distinct lack of said 3 pin power LED header. Going crazy trying to find it I found this enlarged picture of it (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...d_fullsize.jpg) which shows no 3 pin header

however the Albatron PX925XE Pro-R does have a 3 pin LED header and this is clearly visible in this picture (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...d_fullsize.jpg)

What happened to the 3pin power led header for the k8sli???

and more importantly what is the best way to connect the case's 3 pin connector to the k8sli's 2 pin power led header?

thanks
josh

Interesting.. it does have a 2 pin..

Perhaps if you have some old parts laying around, grab a 2 pin header, and change the wires? Ive got tons around, so it would ne np for me..

I'm thinking of buying one of these paired up with a X2 4400+ but according to the website the motherboard requires a bios update to support dual core. Would I even be able to run the chip on the motherboard without the bios update, so I can flash the bios (and the backup bios later if its all good)?

Hello! I am new in this forum as you can see

If anyone is using this mobo i would be very grateful for any tips regarding my problem.

The spacifications on the official page say that only radeon x300 is not supported.
Well the problem is that i tried with a radeon x600 and it still didn't work!!
I am in a process of buying a new graphic card and i want to be 100% sure which cards are supported, so any of you who have this board and are using a radeon with it please post a reply!!

Thanks!

What is you current BIOS version? I too was intending to do a bios update but sadly i foud out that the last version ( official version ) , that is 1.12, was already on the board?
Anyway it is possible to update without the card!

[exiledconnections]

its r1.00 i belive

[Vidko]

Then i suggest you visit this LINK
, download the latest bios and upgrade it

[exiledconnections]

i did that and all it does is flash some ms dos stuff and tell me im missing a file in my temp folder

[exiledconnections]

when i select run as it says a temprary file is needed for the intialization could not be created or could not be written to. makesure that the directory path exists and disk space is available

[Vidko]

I suggest u read this yust in case, maybe it will help you...LiINK

[exiledconnections]
