My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[angelshonnny]

Well technically the Z7S isn't a server-class mobo but a workstation-class mobo, which makes it non-eligible for that program. If they took yours, you are lucky
I know because I called the Asus server divison half a year back due to the bios issues, and they told me they couldn't help because the Z7S isn't their responsibility (or it wouldn't have such a messed-up bios, the "real" Asus server boards are tanks like the SM mobos, the D16 DSEB series etc).

Ok, so I got lucky this time. Hope they don't find out about it in the meantime. I just hope I don't have the same problems again.
What about the DSEB series, any OC opportunities? It's not much more expensive than the z7s

Same method as with the X7DWA really.. no FSB/Vcore/anything in bios (only multiplier), so you can do the pin mod to FSB 400 or go up using SetFSB. They should max out at around 430-440 as well, assuming your CPUs can do it without higher than stock Vcore.

Ok, so SM it is then, at least we know it's Rock Solid, isn't that part of Asus's slogan by the way?
Should I maybe do the pin mod now when I get the new board, I'm scared to touch any settings in BIOS, and then like you said, at least I'm on 3GHz. Have never done it before, is it difficult?
