The problem is that it will not post the cellshock at all, the workaround (this was for the EVGA 790i anyway, dunno about the Asus) is to use crap DDR3 RAM, POST, set RAM volts up to cellshock supported, then swap in cellshock. I get my crucial crap kit tomorrow to try for myself. Sonofander was the one who is running the cellshock withe the EVGA, and IIRC he is running it at 500MHz FSB.
