The above is the full build spec for my new system.
Ongoing issues are the Mouse does not function off the combined PS2 port
What is CSM & Netstack setting in Bios for this is not documented in the manual.

Odd Bios failure problems seem to have disappeared and could be related to the fan issue which I have now resolved by directly powering off the PSU the Fan alarm no longer activates so I assume that the Bios failure was this.

The boot to Bios is solved now I have found out the trick to get the Bios to open on start up instead of Windows booting. Its still quite tricky bit I can now get into bios as second or third reboot.

I have now manged to get the Revo drive to be used as the Boot device and installed window 7 but still surprised no Windows 8 driver for this.

I have placed on hold windows 8 install for now.

I now just want to sort out the mouse function.

Forgot to mention I found one bent pin in the cpu socket i found and teased back into place did wonder about this since the mouse is not working but why does the keyboard work in same socket and same interface.

I looked because my GA X58A ud3r board had several and it was a problem at the time.

Since posting the full specs of my system I have refined the issue further in that the OCZ revo drive will install windows 7 32 bit & windows 7 64 bit but there is an issue with the upgrade to Windows 8 64 bit and it might be in the bios see the other posts on this.

I have now resolved by deduction and help off the OCZ forum site my issues with this board with the exception of one last thing in that the mouse ps2 port in dead on my board.

Strangely the keyboard side works?
