And I own a 940, so I'm not biased. Just telling it like it is...
On and on a different note, after a while now my cold boot problem is back. I'm rather pissed about it. I have no idea why it is back, nothing changed on my system at all, but it is definitely back.
Three days in a row now the system does not power on after I shut it down at night. Instead it starts all the fans, displays DET DRAM and then it hangs. To get it to boot I have to hold the power button down, wait until it shuts down, then press it again, reload my BIOS settings, and voila, I am rock solid stable again.
The system is memtest, memtest hci, Arena, Prime, and LinX (Linpack) stable...
At first I thought it had to do with 1001 BIOS, but now I noticed that even downgrading the BIOS does nothing to alleviate the problem. I have not experienced a single cold boot since I stopped using X.M.P. profiles about 1.5 months ago...that is until now.
Totally weird.
