Wow, a troll eh. Well, finally.
Here's some food for you.
1. Yes, 12 years. And not just 12 years with Asus, but overclocking and tweaking since the days of 3/486s. I even spent some time programming my own microchips.
2. Absolutely nothing particular made me come to XS. I heard of it by accident. I spend too much time now days in front of the computer for work doing software engineering and I mostly work alone so I needed to find an activity to pass the in-between time, and this seemed like a semi-decent community. Obviously, not everyone is semi decent. Furthermore, I do not live in a basement and do have a real life to occupy most of my time so these things are in phases for me only. i7 just happens to be a new toy so it's interesting for a bit.
3. Smug or not smug at least people are trying to contribute, unlike some here *hint* *hint*
Finally, an FYI for you, there is nothing special about X58, and it is not X58 clocking you fool, it's Nehalem. X58 is just a chipset.
Oh and, for us coming from the world of AMD, this architecture is much more familiar than for you Intel fellas. "What, an integrated IMC I hear! Fascinating"
With my background and experience I think I have plenty of authority to speak on how I believe things are working.
I am done addressing you, so disappear.
Edit: Way to edit your post. Don't mind if I don't edit mine. I have done one thing different this time then ever before, and that is I jumped to a completly new platform right on release. Hence the "wtf is 0248 doing on a production board" and a legitimate question too. Even Asus found it strange after I talked to one of their engineers, but the board seems to work fine so whatever.
