Is this the limit on the board or just where you stopped?

All it does is give support for new cpu's for the board.

Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at:

How can I check if my R2E is a B3 whatever that means ?
My xeon would not even post at 215bclk with rams @ 1066, so why should have the Mem controller have an influence on the bclk ? (maybe a fact I simply don´t know)
Voltage whise the EE does clock about 150 to 200mhz more on the same settings but the heat output even in a non oced environment is higher than the xeon.

Havent tried to go higher on the bclk than 228, as I just wanted to break som Pi1m Numbers of members of my forum which competed with i7-920´s. So I used the 228x21 setting (what they did for their best time) tweaked a little and got a better time, Job done.

WHAT new cpu´s are supported on the 1704 bios ?
Asus HP doesn´t list new ones
Do we finally get official Xeon support (Asked that on a german forum too, for Rampage II gene and Extreme) or just additional Gulftowns and i7-930
