Hi again,
Managed to get everything built. I had to apply some pressure to get the mobo in place, but it all worked out. The padding foam on the IO shield is pretty thick.
I have installed Windows 8.1 and was about to upgrade to 10, when I realised that I have no audio..
Using BIOS 0508. that came with the board. Installed the latest audio drivers - showing as 6.0.1.7629, under Realtek High Defintion Audio & 6.3.9600.16384 under High Definition Audio Device in Device Manager.. 😞
PS - I do have audio on the front panel, just not from the back..
PPS - So this is becoming a monologue. Seemed to start working after tinkering in the Supreme FX settings. I am 100% that I had set it to default device, but maybe not... Sound isn't as good as my old ASUS P5N-E SLI though, and that is OLD!
