My other motherboard is an ECS (believe it or not) KA3 MVP...and both my cpu and ram run at lower voltage, with higher benchmarks.

Yes I contacted the developers twice with no response. I made a final comment yesterday evening to Asus customer support that this is no way to be and not to expect future business from me. I don't like getting blown off, ANY answer at all would have settled me.

Justapost I agree that it may be a limit of the chipset itself, or the mosfets powering it. I don't see good reviews for the other 770 chipsets either.
