I guess I'm just dissapointed with the MIIF in general, maybe I expect to much once I make the jump to i7 any issues with the maximus will be an afterthought.
I have a Gigabyte P35 DS3L for my son's rig, it overclocks ok, got the 8400 to 4.0GHz with little effort. My only gripe with the board is its very particular with ram..
I totally understand your point. I too had high hopes for Maximus II but still it needs bios work and with asus history, i don't think that there would be a bugfree bios.

However it's still a good oc'ing board. I have mine @ 530mhz fsb 24/7 and it's totally stable and problem free. I don't think that there's another 775 board that will give us something significantly better.


BTW when are u planning on setting up your i7 rig? If it will be in more than a month i would advise u to return/sell your 920. In my opinion the 940 is the bottom choice with 965 the preferable. But prices will come down...
