hello asus member! sorry for being newbie 😞
i just build my rig last night and i really need some help about the following:
1. every time i turn my pc on i always get this msg:
Asmedia 106X SATA Controller Ver 0.93 AHCI Mode
S.M.A.R.T. Supported
Using PCIE Gen 2
Can't find any device.
2.how do i know that i have the latest bios and do i really need to update it?
3.im not really in to overclocking because i have no knowledge on it, i just need to set up my bios in a decent set up.
4.is this complicated and bad to my set up?as you can see on my signature that i have a 2x 4gb pc 12800 but then my OS is a window7 32 bit only. and my ram says 3.21 gb only.
thats it for now and please be patient on me:)

Welcome lightning363..
WOW...Great job on this build. You are way ahead of most, myself included, when we first booted our V.
Yours booted. All the way...and since you have no real issues posted...CUDOS.
1. Exactly what Sp33d Junki3 said.. (yea..we see it too.)Disable it, ignore it, move on.)
2. The official bios releases are on the support page of your board
here: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/Crosshair_V_Formula/#download
Betas are announce through the Crosshair forum section and there are 'stickies' there on 'How To'
3. No OC'ing? (Well nobody is perfect..JOKE...hahahaha) There are easy OC'ing and 'Auto Tuning' features
both in the mouse controlled bios and AI Suite II-but, stock already screams..it is all up to what you like, and
what you are using your computer for. (Just ask, someone here knows...)
4. Win7 32-- Exactly, if you want to see more than 3Gb in windows you will need 64--(Did you hear the
Linux guyz just groan?)
5. Again I have to agree with Sp33d Junki3, thats a CoolerMaster Case, those oval slots are for running
you cables through and behind the side panel..easy clean up.
6. I wrote a post from 'one semi-newbie here' to the 'next newbie here'. If you care to see or have time, I
wrote it to cut down the learning curve here, as small as it is, just the few bumps I had to get over.

Enjoy. Relax.
One V at a time until they rule the world, or until BullDozer or next intel, VI is realeased.
Welcome.
Good to meet you.c.

The HAF 932/X all comes with 8pin Extension Cables. With a PSU like that, using the 8pin EPS is the best choice.
As you see here in my case, the top left corner there is a Black/Yellow cable, thats what came with your case.
Also as side not, you need to change your OS. You should be using Win7 64Bit. Never 32Bit for your system.

first wow that looks so much better. good job on your build man. I would suggest pointing the power supply fan out the top vent so the heat goes out of the case and not onto the mobo/cpu. I need to get a new case with cable mangment
