Warboy, I use Everest, OCCT and as you know I'm on an X38 and I don't get the problems at all.
I haven't ever had the massive fluctuations like you have...

Oops that sound card is in my 680i rig, I'm using included top PCi slot with bundled card for now. Will edit sig
Here's my quick test for reference. I'm running 4x1GB (mixed bag of DOM. 8500s and Team Xtreem 6400s @ 1080MHZ. Vdimm is set to 2.2v in bios.
PS: Test took about 2:17 minutes. Bios version is 0902.
@warboy
I don't have the v fluctuations either. Its pretty consistent within my OCCT graphs. I do remember this happening back in my Opteron 165 days with my DFI board/smart guardian. All I did was unplug the 24pin connector and plug it back in. Sounds too good to be true but try it?
Damn, so anyone who`s using both PCIe x16 slots AND using a different soundcard than the one from Asus, could you pls check if the card is working in the top PCI slot ? I have to get this damn thing to work :)
iceman, for some reason, i remember reading that there were compatibility issues using that top slot with other cards. i guess it's "allocated" for the factory sound board. not positive though!!!
how do you use everest + occt to draw graphs? which version of everest? i can't make the version of everest i have (4.10.1091 Beta) work with the latest occt beta (1.2.0b06), that's why i'm asking. i do not know what i may be doing wrong. any comments appreciated.
Anyone using 0902? If so hows it working?
Unfortunately my highest stable FSB appears to be just 450 with my QX9650 and with my Q6600 G0 I had to push 1.76 vNB and 1.75 for vFSB in order to get 470 fsb stable.
Im not sure at this point if its the chip with a CPU ceiling or the mobo regardless im running at 4.8ghz with a multi of 12 and shes nice and stable with some decent scores with my 8800gt.

Oh for the love of Christ. Just flashed to 0902. The 266 strap is STILL broken. Honestly, what's it going to take to get this fixed? Tried relax set to 0 and 1 and it still won't boot. Just sits at DET DRAM. This board is just awesome, but for crying out loud just fix it already.
On another note, any previously saved OC profiles will not work in 0902. When I tried to load mine, it would just cause the BIOS to reset to defaults.
Asus really can't seem to get a decent bios nowadays. The new bios for the Striker Extreme is the same, newer bios, more bugs, less overclock and more headaches! :(
does anyone here use the software that came with the mobo ? I ordered it today (260$) :) and seen that it came with extra software. I am so glad this has a power on/off button.
Hopefully Bios's mature , until then I'm problably only going to run 2.8GHZ :P
Well I just gave this board another OCCT RAM 475MHz FSB run...with a North Bridge load temp of 29*c!!! It still failed, even with 1.75v vNB, 1.7v vPLL and 1.65v vFSBT! :(
I got my 115cfm Vantec Tornado out for nothing! :P Looked good though, strapped to the North Bridge! :D
What's the highest dram frequency on can obtain with this motherboard? I hope over 500MHz
A lot of people run their ram @ 600MHz, async from the FSB.
Is there a switch for afudos that allows you to force it to update an older bios?
I had an older but it said something about boot block.
