This motherboard also natively supports DDR2 1066 for better compatibility, and with ASUS’s exclusive Super Memspeed Technology, memory speeds can be automatically enhanced by 75%, up to DDR2 1400MHz. It is also able to provide users with stable CPU power and 30% reduced power ripples during heavy loading. Signal delivery is also enhanced with low cross-talk for even faster speeds.

    Thats strange, the Asus website states that bios version 0204 is required for the E6750.

    ok ok...so first of all the inductor coils in victor's pics are different from retail I guess. no biggie. But how is this board any different than any other board as far as watercooling is concerned? (note the big ass emblem on the front of the box saying Water-designeeed etc)

    Anyone able to get Raid to work on this board.....having endless problems trying to get it set up, bios option for sata bootrom option isn't in bios when it's supposed to be , F6 floppy disk gives an unexpected error , this board shaping up to be another marvellous POS from Asus so far.

    Using bios 0204.

    I think maybe they didnt solder some mosfets on the back of the board like the Deluxe version of this so when you get some mosfet blocks for it all the mosfets are cooled?

    It could cost the price of a throw away cpu if it doesn't boot your stepping and you only have one cpu.
