Im happy with the board, the only issue is that the only 100% valid method to recover from bad oc settings is quit the battery.

Reset + power->
Holding home or insert key while push the power button->
Old school quit battery-> FTW
strange you must be pushing it alot as i've never had to pull the battery and in past 31 days only had to use clear cmos jumper twice. Most of the time it's just a matter of power down board (sometimes turn off power to psu), then turn on system again while holding Home key to reset to default 133 bclk and get into bios to change settings

Later I tried putting gtx280 into pcie 3 port and worked but when I put it back to pcie 1 it won't start; however the other card 7600gt works in pcie1.
weird maybe your gtx 280 doing weird things ? both boards using same psu to power gtx 280 ?

not sure what you're asking, if you need to install ABS or you want to play around with ABS profiles ?

I haven't used ABS on DFI X58 as I don't need it and for bench OS don't want to install .net framework which is a requirement of installing ABS. But did use it on DFI UT X48-T3RS and you can see a basic run down of some of it's usage here http://i4memory.com/91205-post10.html

the rest is in the ABS manual included with the board
