Asus never have and doubt they ever will, all their engineers care about right now is BCLK and DDR3 world records they couldn't give a damn about their customers who paid the highest premium of all X58 boards, even though if it wasn't for them they'd sell at best 20% as much of them. You can bet alot of their time at the moment is being spent on the P6T6 rev bios since it will have a chance to break the 3DMark Vantage WR with Tri-SLI on 16x/16x/16x
Maybe their engineers are listening and are implenting those things into these boards. After all, they hold more records than any other. That's the point. To be the best you have to beat the best, and for the last few years, and right now they have the best engineered boards around. Saying they aren't listening becasue one option isn;t in there that affects very few users is kinda silly. It doesn't affect max OC's or performance so it's not a big issue right now.

I'm more concerned about cold boot issues and DET RAM issues than this sillyness. This platform hasn't been released for very long at all. It's a lttle less than 2 months. People are already expecting to see the last thing on the important list before they even get compatibility and the bugs worked out.

For those that are *that* concerned about it, and absolutely must have max clocks all you gotta do is control the heat and turn off TM. That will bypass it right there. It ain;t for a beginner though...I hope people read that last part carefully becasue anyone who does this does it *knowing* they are bypassing their protection and needs to monitor their own temps and have the ability to cotrol the heat. It's not something I would do if your gonna walk away from it, of course max clocking isn't something to walk away from and leave running anyway.

The only people that would be concerned with this are people looking for all out record clocks. That's a very select few, becasue very few even have the ability to get clocks like that or the CPU's that will do it.
