I think that ASUS boards don't have them because nobody ever asked for them.

My settings for 8 X 465MHz and DDR 1239MHz with tRD 6 aren't bullet proof. I didn't completely remove the instability I just moved it a little further with raising the CPU Voltage just enough to do 25 passes of LinX. I know that if I do more passes at some point it will fail.

I hope that ASUS is going to see the problem know too and that they change the increments to 50ps.

There's one thing I know. The ASUS Engineer didn't tell me that it isn't possible to have 50ps clock skew increments. There's still a chance that they add it in a new BIOS release and I hope that they add tREF too.
The fact that Gigabyte has 50ps skews means nothing. What has already been said many times getting high fsb on quad + 600mhz on ram + pl6 is no go.

Try to lower PL, increase vDDR, vNB. Don't tell people that 50ps skews are the key while they aren't - you just can't make thing works so fast with so tight timings and so low voltage.
