Damn this is a pretty long thread
The only problem I can see so far with this board is the vcore. This cpu was 100% prime95 stable at 3.6ghz at 1.38v on my Asus Premium P35 board. I understand there are alot of new settings in this bios and I'll have to really dig into it but for now like I said the only thing I can see an issue with is the vcore/vdroop control. Or lack of. I started out by setting the vcore similar to how I had it on the Premium at 1.4v to get 1.38v real. That was obviously a no go. So, I worked my way up with vcore and it seemed like it just wasnt changing at all. I finally landed on 1.5v to get 1.41v real. I am still on the original 0401 bios and am not sure if any issue have been solved with a new bios revision (I guess once I read this thread I'll find out
)
One other thing I found out that was total garbage with that cpu clock up or whatever that software was. I kept getting bsod's all the time. But then again I disable all cpu features in the bios so it wouldnt work either way.
I am running 4gb of memory on Vista x64 without any issues. One thing I did notice is my vdimm did overvolt a bit.
