It is frustrating with dfi as im on my first and i knew buying it they are slow to update from reading about them over the years.....Even slow to release boards after a new cpu comes out..Asus seems to be the best with bios updates and gigabyte too. I feel your frustration as a guy who gets new cpu's to try out early...A guy like you maybe would be happier with another board..Me not upgrading to 6 core for a long so this board serves me just fine...actually out of 3 x58 boards I like the dfi x58 the best ....I really feel your pain and their response is qoute unsatifactory as they must have a sometime date if they talked to their programmers,thats all it would take...but I kinda expect this from them...if i was running pre release stuff id be using someone elses board i think...but its like a double edged sword as i really like there boards.................
