Sorry to hear ya gota RMA your board steve30x.

Is everyone else using the 4 pin aux plugg?

Two things that I noticed on my system with the beta 9 bios. (Aside from what's been pointed out.) My VID from core temp is now 1.1125v when before it was 1.0375v. It also seems to do a better job reading the SPD settings on auto. My tRAS setting before while on auto was 13 at 450mhz. Now it's 16 which seems to be more inline with the frequency scale. Haven't really seen a difference in overclockability, but the voltage readings is mucho better.
