Aint touched my classified since getting this mobo.

Am hunting for the 0303 beta I think someone on here has, wont stop till I find it somewhere.

But right now I'm on 4.5 GHZ with HT stable (I think so far, no crashes after 2 days) with a vcore of 1.45, and vtt/QPI of 1.3625. Idling around 36-37c for cpu and max load temps with linx at 77c, not bad for 4.5ghz with hyperthreading!
Not bad at all. Pretty high vcore though What's your bclck x multi combo? Or are you on an i7 920? I'm assuming that's on water too, right?

Also, the USB problem is unlikely to be fixed with BIOS, I'd RMA it now. By the time you get it back, the new BIOS might be available.

Anyway. For all doubting nge's temps, I have this mobo coming tomorrow or tuesday, and I'm an uncompromising ass when it comes to my pc components. I'm leaning towards thinking that people with high chipset temps have them on a workbench and not in a case where you get good airflow across the fins. Any board sitting idle in the room with no airflow will get hot.

I'm going to throw a chipset block on this as soon as it's available though, just for the hell of it.
