DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 - First bench, bios screens etc

[The Nemesis]

I just got this board today.

I am having a crap load of problems with it....

BIOS 4/28

The past few hours I have been fighting this board to get it stable at the same clocks that my R2E would do....

But the f*cking thing that is REAALLY pissing me off ATM is that I can only get a 12x multi even with Turbo enabled and EIST enabled in BIOS!! CPU-z is showing a 200x12 and I have no clue WTF is going on.

I would GREATLY appreciate soem help.

Thanks

You do have power saving set to performance and windows activated this gave me hell too. I switched back to xp on the bench for now.

Yes, power is set to performance. I'm on W7 x64 and it hasn't been activated yet.

However, it was running 21x multi earlier, now only 12x!

I'm going to update to 4/28

i think its a win7 64bit issue because i have same problem (build 7068) with it but not the 32bit. i downloaded rc 1 from micro$oft but too lazy to install

I'm preparing to drop this board for my bench rig. It simply won't hit high enough bclk for me to reach 5GHz. I tried this chip in my friends classified and hit 5GHz with ease with less cold. Time to join the classified bandwagon I suppose.
