funkypunk1985: Does the Mainboard tab in CPU-Z show Version 0006? Other users have had good success with 0006 so I'm not sure why the Xeon is still throttling.

I was told by Asus to delete 0007 from the download area and not to distribute it anymore so I can't help you with that.
PM a few guys off the record in this thread and maybe it will magically turn up in your mail box so you can test it out.

Fir3^StorM: If you don't have a hard drive plugged into that connector you could disable the Marvell in the bios so it doesn't search for it when booting up.
