Playing with the board for a week now and rather impressed. Only SS for now because of GOOC deadline. Mem controller on this cpu isnt great, next week tests on air with i7 920. For now under mach II:

Well ReverendMaynard I took your advice and tried to find a good setting with a lower QPI/VTT.
Dropped QPI/VTT from 1.4 to 1.36, All MCH settings back to auto and NB temp drops 5 degrees. CPU from 4Ghz to 3.8, memory performance still at 1688Mhz. CPU load temp after 30 minutes ~70-72 degrees.

So you know, to get rid of that message you may need to uninstall DES (Dynamic Energy Saver) and then reboot. Then install the latest Version if you plan to use it again later >>

I do not advise @BIOS unless you have no other options, but you do have other options as linked above. Qflash can be used in MANY ways, and you could also always flash from DOS using FlashSPI that comes with the BIOS download packages

I just tried the F6e Bios off of tweak town and once I saw that my overclock was no longer stable I tried to flash back to F5e and QFlash would hang every time I tried it. I tried F4, F5, F6a and F5e and nothing would work except a reflash to F6e. Anyone else have this issue? Is this a known problem or update to Q-flash?
I ended up making a Bootable USB Flash Drive using the instructions on tweaktown (thanks lsdmeasap) to undo the issue and get back to the old bios.
