ASUS Rampage II Extreme

You know this for a fact? This is the second i7 940 I tried with same results, so are you sure about this? Where did you get this information?

Is this only a problem on Asus boards? It sure as heck sounds like it is, which would be indicative of either a propagating BIOS fault or a motherboard engineering fault. But I doubt every Asus would carry the same eng. fault so maybe it really does have to do with the BIOS?

Are we aware of Gigabyte boards (or others) having this issue?

Either way this is POS. I tried two i7 940 CPUs now with the same results. In fact, the first CPU was worse as it ran hotter. I can run 19x200 rock solid for days if I wanted, even 216x19 with some serious volts but overall this is pretty pathetic as almost each and every i7 920 will get about the same results. So much for paying $350 more for a higher binned CPU.
