I spent all day yesterday reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating,reloading, reformating, and then some.

The new board sucks as bad as the first, I could get loaded, installed the drivers, and after a few reboots I would get "UNABLE TO MOUNT VOLUME", quite a few times.

I also tried a single drive off the RAID controller and promptly scrambled it overclocking the first time @ 150x4

Needless to say, I pulled it out this morning, re-setup my IT7 and back in business.

I have never had so much bad luck with Asus,

For the record I did get one useable bench (http://service.madonion.com/compare?pcm=594722) at stock speed.

Has anyone had any luck with these boards recently?

The [H] forum thread seems to have died.

Some people have, and I am sure they are better left at stock speed.

I need to maintain 3.2Ghz stable 24/7 (http://fugger.netfirms.com/321.jpg) or it is not worth the effort. I would love to switch back to rambus but I will stay with IT7 until Asus deals me a good hand.

My Asus P4T533 runs fine with 2,133 GHz (only 3 sudden restart) and booting is possible with high frequency, 3d mark benching with 2,8 and Sandra with 2,96, the hard tests will come when I have my water cooling system. But I thought an Asusboard will never rebooting, that's why I spent so much money for it, so I'm a little bit angry.

That is not impressive. 0 is impressive. Still, consider you self lucky.

I can't really comment on the board, but I started to loose faith in Asus around the time of the A7V-133....

Well at least my new P4T533 gives me 1.78v when I ask for 1.7...don't even need to set the overvoltage jumper :p. Too bad I have yet to find a suitable stable speed. Stock seems totally fine for the guy that wanted to know in that other P4T533 thread.
