Even OBR and pmp have B1 revisions (first page) and they were I think the very first people to get the SIIE board so I dont think ASUS is shipping such thing as B0 revision.

It's a very worrisome situation with regard to 790i, in my personal opinion. Usually a small revisions are denoted as A0 -> A1 -> A2, etc.. But 790i has apparently been under a couple major revisions and I heard about C0 and C1 stepping for the 790i SPP.

We were also able to get our hands on a C0 engineering sample 790i board for testing. Let’s just say that the experience was … character building.

That's likely the 790i NON Ultra.

Ok update, I have been running this computer real hard.
Gaming all day, running all kinds of programs & it's running like a champ.
So I have no idea about what happened the first time but, this time the computer has been running for almost 2 full days with 0 problems.
