That's one possibility, although I don't see why anyone should be tweaking the triple channel functionality as it's one of the key features of the new platform. Surely, you'd expect the Intel X58 motherboard to be able to show the correct performance difference between dual and triple channel, no?
There are some newer biosses available on the Intel restricted area website, but there are no changelogs available, so no idea whether the bios updates would help. I hope so, though.
Another weird/funny effect I've seen people reporting is that overclocking the BCLK frequency has little to no effect in performance, which means that running 133x25 or 166x20 will not make any difference. Next to that, people report that underclocking the QPI frequency (lowering the QPI multiplier) has no effect on the BCLK wall, so decreasing the QPI multiplier will not allow people to go high in BCLK frequency?The wall itself would apparently be a CPU issue, not a motherboard problem ... kinda like the FSB wall we know now.
I'm re-reading every PDF on the Intel page at the moment, maybe I missed something.
//EDIT: No, I didn't.
