    Definitely want to know the difference between the P and R versions besides the extra lan and pci-express slot for crossfire.

    Ordered a UD3P yesterday from the egg and received it 10 minutes ago. I love 24hour free shipping.
    The little air system that could.

    I got a strange issue.
    When I set a MCh Voltage over 1.24V e.g 1.26V the board will not boot in proper way.
    It reset all to default, if I set 1.24V everthing is fine though.

    What is going on ..any clue?

    For those that have tested with this board how is the heat on NB and Mosfets? Hot or warm or cool to the touch? Since the stock cooling looks pretty good on this board I was wondering how effective it is. I could rip out the cooling they have and add an HR-05 to NB with a fan and a mosfet cooler from thermalright but why spend an extra $30+ if the stock cooling is good?

    but if any of you has any ideas, I would appreciate it.

    Asus RMA is horrible IMO... but I am still ongoing an RMA transaction with them.. 4th time already they sent me the same video card back twice ( clueless tech ), sent me a bad card the third time, and I just sent it back a few weeks ago waiting for a replacement.

    Other people get brand new boards and stuff back but I get crap back from Asus, O well, just keep calling them since they do state their RMA take 7-10 business days.. basically you should have it shipped back in no less than 2 weeks.

    And thats 558 without any real tweaking as they noted themselves. This is more like lets plug it in, do a suicide shot and then run some tests. They stated they only played with the OC settings for a few hours. Imagine if they tweaked for a few days
