790 corruption issues?

[BenchZowner]

Good point Dinos22 but its difficult when it seems so very easy for many of us to replicate this "issue" and have been for some time now?

Dinos is always having good & valid points ( just wanted to say that ).
Thing is... I have had corruption as well as some other people here, but even with BIOS v0701 and v0601 ( the 0601 surely doesn't have the "corruption fix" ) starting from the past 2 weeks I haven't had any corruption and I've been pushing the board ridiculously high and outside what most people would even think of.
1.75V SB & NB on stock cooling ( just fans over the heatsinks ) [ changed the thermal paste as well ], 1.8V QX9650 CPU @ watercooling, 2.3V RAM at DDR3-2050+ 7-7-6-21 1T and more.
I wasn't even using memtest to "pretest" my RAM for errors before trying to get into windows and bench or run stability programs & stressing the components

It's crazy, because I've had corruption with the v0601 BIOS for sure in the past, and I haven't really changed anything in the system.
Same CPU, same RAM, same VGA, same PSU, same HDD, same Norton Ghost Image, everything.
Even the settings, every setting I use ( successful or not ) is being recorded, so I have "logs" to check back anytime.

However I have no idea how they or any other vendor handles this kind of research (I always assumed they have a handful of people actually using the motherboards they sell, and using them outside of stock settings? Once again however, the handful of us having "issues" probably represent a fairly small percentage of overall users (and although I assumed they had a handful of people testing I don't think they can test thousands of motherboards to replicate "issues" only a small percentage of us are having)? Hopefully that makes some sense, lol!

The more the testers the better.
If you can separate the testers into categories that might be more effective as well.
Still I wonder how Asus missed the malfunctioning tRFC setting in their BIOSes for the Striker II Extreme ( from some version & all the newer versions ), it just ignores your setting.
Now, if their testers are leaving the sub-timings @ auto, that's not going to help them find the bug, right ?
Manufacturers use their own "weapon of choice"...erm... I meant way to beta test their stuff.

With that all said Dinos22 do you actually know how this kind of research happens at a place like Asus given your relationship with them?

You missed the relationship a bit
Dinos is "helping" Gigabyte
But that's not my job, he can speak for himself and I bet he will
Let him get some rest, he had some seriously long flight home.
