Can you use 6 DIMMs w/ a large CPU cooler such as a TRUE 120? I have read that the first DIMM slot is too close to the socket and blocks it from being used, but I didn't know if they were saying it is unusable if you have tall RAM or if they were saying it is unusable regardless of the height of the DIMM. Thanks!

I use a TRUE w/ 2 fans + 12 gb of ram, you should be fine....as others have suggested, as long as they are not like the Patriot or those w/ a massive heat spreader than you should be fine =D

My system is Ex58-UD5 with 920 and Seasonic M12D using bios F4r because it has been working well with mild overclock - 19 x 166 - (on air so limited by CPU temperature) and don't want to risk changing to newer bios.

However, normally I always log off Vista then turn off power supply then turn off at wall socket.

Yesterday, I just shut down Vista but left power supply on. After about 8 hours, when pressing the power on button at the front of the PC the bios went into some sort of recovery mode with a message that there was a fault with overclock settings.

I've reloaded my settings and all is working again - anyone seen this before? is it bad news to leave to motherboard powered up? or is there a better bios than the F4r?

Ive been asking for about 6 or 7 posts also what is the best bios around for the UD5 atm but looks like nobody is actually reading or my posts arent getting posted...

Many users are using different BIOS' cos they work for them......its a matter of reading through a few pages to gage user opinion then choose a BIOS.

I have mentioned in my recent posts that I am on f8b and it works fine, though I dont use RAID or AHCI, so I cant comment on those features.

Hope this helps

So why is the EX´s at version F and UD5´s at D ?

The letter designates a different BIOS engineer is all, and of course sometimes progressions as well.

The two you ask about have the same fixes, just one had been worked on more than the other. Like maybe EX's a/b/c/d BIOS had issues, so F was made for example after the known issues with e)
