A parcel arrived today, sent from STH for me to have a look at, thanks for the confidence
First looks of this motherboard very impressively built.
Chucked in my new Ivy Bridge Core i5-3470T, recognised it right away.
Having an issue right away, cannot for the life of me enable either the IBM M1015 or M5015 in any slot.
Had a fiddle in the BIOS, tried a video card to force other slot to 8x but nothing.
Both cards come from working machines.
I have a feeling the P8Z77 WS is made for utter Graphics speed.
Not looked too closely at the specs but there has to be a PLX PCIe bridge in there somewhere to get all PCIe lanes.
But already a big snag as this workstation board cannot take LSI SAS controllers
Any help appreciated, I may have missed something.
Also anything you guys would to have tested looked at bring it on.
