just to add to those that have had POST issues... all I did last night was bump my FSB from 490 to 514, then down to 500 and each time the board would turn on and not POST. I had to keep clearing CMOS. Now I'm back at 490fsb x7. This sucks b/c I'm just looking for a 24/7 setting so that I can do some tests during work to ensure it's stable for daily use. Who knows what's gonna happen when I start benching!! I sure as hell hope this thing can boot up with high FSB b/c my e6400 has some potential left in it.

I'm concerned, but not too concerned as my last DFI, the s939 NF4, was a cold-boot hater, and I got used to it... I just hate the wasted time from it, though.
