There's an "intel_inf_8.4.0.1010 beta" available.
Intel Matrix Raid: "intel_msm_7.5.0.1017 Final WHQL"
And JMicron driver "Jmicro_jmb36xx.1.17.17whql" .
All at: www.station-drivers.com.
Could you post a screenshot of your Windows Device Manager, with these categories expanded:
IDE/ATAPI Controllers
SCSI and Raid Controllers
System Devices
And, did you attempt to enable SATA "AHCI mode", either on JMicron or Intel port?
Note: if updating Intel Inf drivers, running the .EXE installer won't update to the newer drivers.
Must be manually updated for each device.
sorry mate have to check into this

So any real advantage? Besides DDR3 and Penryn? I will probably wait till penryns release and some new boards hit the market and go from there, but any input on this would be appreciated
don't comapre results yet as subtimings are always really loose during initial testing.............once i get memset it will be a different story and should be on par with your mobo (not faster i don't think)
