I've got the exact same board...as do quite a few others that are here at TechIMO...it's great for overclocking. Trust me you'll love this board. lol

As far as the LED goes...I wouldn't worry about it. If it boots up and everything is fine...then...everything is fine. I'm sure others will tell you the same thing.

Btw...Welcome to TechIMO!

The LED always shows FF after a successful boot attempt.

Gouki's right.

I don't have that particular board, but most Epox boards that I've dealt with, will show that "FF" continuosly once the BIOS has "handed off" to the Operating System.

I was dismayed when looking into an Epox box I built for a friend a year and a half ago, to see a red "65" or something after the system had booted into WinXP. I thought something was not right, even though the system ran fine.

A little research on the Epox sight set my mind at ease, 'cause they said, depending on your system setup, it doesn't matter what the final readout is - it can be the "FF" or a number. The number is only relevant during the initial boot, if there is a problem.

Hope this helps set your mind at ease. . .

Oh, and welcome as well, Conan.
