I was thinking the same thing about your ballistix dieing, my previous set of ballistix pc8500 died after 3 months at 2.2v with 2x80mm aircooling over them. These d9 stix all die after 3-6 months at anything over 2.0v without aircooling and if you run them at 1100 or 1200 they will die after 2 months. Ive been through 4 sets in the last 6 months, they literally burn your finger to the touch. On a side note my last set killed my GA-p35-dq6 so i bought the Maximus Non SE and a set of ocz platinum xtc 2x 2gb 5-4-4-15 and so far so good.
This board detected my previous 4 disk raid 0 , and booted my q6600 at 3.6ghz the first shot with the 401 bios. The vdroop is horrible 1.54 bios = 1.44 load

and my q6600 needs 1.46 under load to stay stable. I hope the Loadline and vdroop will be fixed with the 901 bios.
