I think some of these issues could be related to the EPU. I always fail OCCT ram test when I hit 26:07 remaining. It isn't BSODing just crashing according to OCCT. When I tired the D9's I was watching my VDIMM and had it set at 2.24v actual in probe. It would start to drop and when it hit 1.9v it would BSOD and reboot. This could be a hardware issue on the board with these new digital PWM voltage regulators, and now that we have an EPU that controls it from windows. Yuck.

Has anyone installed Linux and seen how it runs doing benches in Linux. I'm debating just using Ubuntu 7.05 Live CD and see if I can't do some benching with it. I just ran ECI"s MemTest x2 each testing 1GB of ram. They both went 200% coverage with Zero errors. But this memtest isn't going 100% CPU load like OCCT does. Also I usually fail any test after I start seeing voltages jump around in Asus Probe. So yeah... I would love to just turn off the EPU and screw power savings. Why save power with a enthusiast board anyways? Seems like it could be been a bad decision to start with. I'm sure it will end up in OEM computers and it would work great their as we are beta testing this hardware now. And paying a hefty price for it.
