I have the board and my CPU has arrived. I just need to pick it up.

Awesome post as usual Dumo .

I'm guessing the next set of profiles needed, if there's gonna be anymore, will be for 4x and 8x 8gig mfr's.
Some people will be running those 32gig and 64gig configs.

Hey Dumo, may I ask what samsung chips those are or the stick's model and brand?
3000 c10 is quite the setup to reach ^^, that's bad@ss.


This board is shaping up to be a very high quality motherboard , and that's awesome.

I would love to know this as well... that's... mind melting...

That looks to be a sweet looking build. I think you may need more fans though

Here's another review, found it while the forum was down.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE494A0jy94

Can someone that watches it all the way through keep an eye for when he mentions in the review about the cpu load limit or whatever it's called.
He said that it wasn't working, it causing instability.
Also what bios ver he's using on the bottom of the bios screen..
I think it says xxxx.....x208.
I think 208 is the release bios, I've got that one already.

If anyone has or knows were to find any other ver's let me know please.
I don't plan on flashing any pre-release bios, I only want them for references.

I'm not exactly sure where I found the 208 right off hand, can't find it on google.
I think it was at kingpin's forum but I can't find it.
I do have it though.


Edit:
Okdokey.
In the review link I posted above, dude says that the setting "CPU Current Capability" using values other then stock, I think "100%", are unstable.
Bios used is ver 208.
We may need a bios update , I don't really know though.
Just getting the word out...

bios 0403 is listed on the asus site now and the 0028 bios i think is on the kingpin forums for sure.. will try and find the link

[Zaskar]

Am I the only one who looked at that picture and at first glance thought they were including some kind of overclocking power gauntlet with the motherboard?

Cool thanks , I got the 0403 and the 0208 bios now.

As a side note, 300+ meg sound card driver?, 400+ meg wireless driver lol?

I got my brothers hardrive today.
Gotta wait for it warm up to ambient temps 1st before I test it out.

I'm kinda thinking I should of went with 64gigs of ram, could of helped with video editing.
Ohwell.

At least now I got all the parts I really need for now, except the darned board .
Sigh I'll get one eventually.

[ZX2Slow]

Newegg is out of stock, NCIX has had issues. I don't understand why availability for this board is so tight now.

The final required piece of my system arrives tomorrow (EK res tube). My build has turned into a monster project, all the big pieces are in place and I just need to wait for a few more components to complete with cable management. So many little things have come up and required parts. I am gonna try to get the loop competed and bled and the system booted tomorrow.

[Dumo]

Doesn't surprise me at all. This must be one of the most sought after boards ever.

[ZX2Slow]

Wow

My R4BE build has been going on for three weeks now, gonna bleed my loop in a few hours. Its a really nice board but I am shocked that its moving this fast.

[Dumo]

Stock replenishment from Freemont arrive

Its taking everything in my power to not order this right now

You will surrender in the end like me

[NEOAethyr]

I ordered mine around 1am est, got a payment declined, order on hold error.
Hopefully it stays on hold or they keep in stock until around noon...
I gotta gotta run around tomorrow anyways.

My grandma's credit card's have been such a pain lately with newegg (my s4 was just like wtf... I almost got like 4 of them in the mail lol), she said they wouldn't work anymore a while back.
I figured by now they should..., but whatever anyways, if it comes down to it, paypal says they take prepaid gift cards now, if I have to I'll buy a $500 gift card locally and use that.
I got the freaking money in my bank :\ ...

I just wish they would of taken paypal for there pre-orders, I would of had no probs at that time .
Ohwell, I just hope I can get this thing over with before christmas lol .
I hate looking at my unopened cpu.

Anyways I think the reason why it's so hard to get this board is because some people are buying 8 of them at a time and re-selling them for almost double.
At least newegg limited to them to 2 this time.

You'll never be truly happy until you have it in hand! hahahaha

[NEOAethyr]

I see they are still in stock .
I'm getting the money situated around 4pm or so, gonna buy the board and a 2nd 2tb red drive.
I'm just gonna give my brother the raid array I got currently and I'm gonna upgrade to 4tb.
I'm just to lazy to burn things lol, even though I still got this unused 50 pack of blue rays...

I'm a happy mofo , I'll be happier as soon as I get this over with though, then I can really be happy.
