Am I right in thinking I should disable the CIA2? This is my first Gigabyte board, all new terms and options in the BIOS from my ASUS stuff.
BTW, I was able to boot the E8400 to windows with the F7 Bios, then upgrade it with the @BIOS s/w. This was a concern for me before I installed, wasn't sure if I'd have to boot with my E6400 first. Glad it worked, should also work for those of you thinking about this combo.
Suggestions for software for monitoring NB temp? I like Coretemp but it only shows CPU temps.
