You don't have to do that man and I hardly think you want to pay for half of my order for a Bios Chip

Well I can tell you this Keith for me it always regardless of what DFI Board I get its twice the charm first one of my P35 and 790FX-M2R had to be replaced and my Expert board before that Don't know why strange luck I suppose but this is my second board and have not had a moments trouble with it outside of Bios corruption which is common for the amount I flash and DFI is really slacking on the Bios on this board but then again if it wern't for me pimping this thing the way I have it probably would not have gone anywhere on this forum at all with the general concensus being Intel frame of mind and all...so....Kudos to Me

Hard call man could very well be the Bios Chip maybe not though.

What you can do is start the RMA process and ship you're Bios Chip out to me and I'll program it and even test it on my board for you and I'll ship it right back out your way in Fruit Cake Coffin Ville Worst case scenario is that it is the Board but it very well could be the chip too! Let me know what you want to do? I have a running offer on this thread for those that sign up with me through PM For Beta Testing in the even anything fgoes wrong while Beta Testing I will re-program their chip Free of Charge....Hows that you gonna get that with ASUS?
