i am using the 1102 bios, and i meant the molex plug called "EZ Plug" which i
believe supplies power to cpu.

but if its no difference for you between T/X power balance then good.
in my case if i go from T_Balance to X_Power i would get bad memory residuals in Linx no matter what qpi/dram voltage used, if i set it to T balance then everything is good.....
maybe i should just plug that darn ez_plug myself...
i cant hump over 4333mhz.....bad memory residuals if i go over that

Incorrect.
EZ Plug supplies power to PCIE lanes. It provides no power to CPU. Only the 2x 12v 8 pin and atx 24 pin do.

@soulblade: I think your volts are VERY high. Even for bloomfield. With 4.4ghz I only needed 1.425v with 1.4875v QPI for 12gb @ 2ghz. How are your temps? I find lower temps = lower possible load voltage.

it is very clear R3E is desigend for Gulftown now that I have both Bloomfield and Gulftown. 3 i7 950's and 2 i7 930's didn't do very well in my R3E, but my i7 970 ROCKS.

All the 950's and 930's did BETTER in Gigabyte UD3R with CPU PLL at 1.8v and QPI PLL adjusted to 1.16v!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE to get this combo on R3E!!!
