Changelog's biggest fix is:

fixed the BIOS not saving quite a few options issue ( stuck multiplier, not applying EIST enable/disable, BCLK applying, etc that started to exhibit itself since 13XX BIOSes and struck most people with 1604 BIOS )

Here are the 1707 BIOSes modded with the latest Intel RST RAID ROM ( 12.5.0.1815 )

Better performance in 4k R/W at Queue Depths over 8 mainly.
Plus there might be some fixes regarding the RAID portion of the sata controller in general ( and maybe better performance in other areas as well ).

Only legacy RAID ROM is updated.
EFI RAID SataDriver is still very old.........RST 11.5.0.1 5 8 2

No worries sergio, but to be honest I still think the MVG is the best Asus board after trying them all.

The MVE gave me the most issues, but I am pretty sure it had to do with vaseline in the memory slots.

Well i bought another Galaxy GTX680 so i will tri sli and had no other choice as the formula makes my card sticked to the other and also to the PSU, and 8/4/4 well lets try, the formula 5 has been amazing for me lets see how it goes

Thanks !!!

the extreme supports 4 cards so you could do it that way. you could also just go optical out to a receiver or amp, and get a usb mic like the snowball.

are you using the native or lucid red slots, the lucid slots are supposed to be better for sli so you can use lucid mode instead (but that may only be for benching) and with the lucid slots it should work fine. so just use the red slots and all should be good, but the black slot should turn off.

Im using first card on red on slot 1 second card on slot 2B wich is black and its stated on the manual that i should use it this way...then when when i put the audio card on red pcie wich is an audio card pcie x1 it disables black slot where my second vga is

So u say i put the 2 vga on the red and the audio on red and will work ?
Or i must populate all red slots to make it work ? I still dont have my third vga for tri sli

Thank u very much for ur help !
Cheers Sergio

yesss thanks mate

im dealing now with stupid INTEL RST drives that i keep getting errors in the Windows Events maybe is that the BIOS has the RAID ROM 11.0 old and im using latest drivers...i asked a friend to mod me the BIOS 0022 with that raid rom so i can test
speed of my SSD RAID went down with latest drivers...

Cheers !!!
