I have both boards, but maybe I've just got a ty ASUS board, giving me more grief then EVGA is giving me droop. (if that makes any sense... )
I see it weird that people are getting data corruptions, are you all making sure you are not going to windows without making sure your RAMs are at least memtest stable?

And Saaya, I see it important (vcore, vdroop) mostly for us that do OC their cpus. I own an striker extreme 680i and sometimes you just hate that your CPU is stable at 1.36v but because it goes down to 1.34, you cannot keep it stable and that means by the time you get it stable, it will be getting a lot more energy than the neccesary when idle.
