This is due to the current auto rule tables that are tuned for compatibility/stability.

The current AGESA code is stable for Thuban now so we will start to tighten up the tables and offer some additional performance tweaks in the near future. I will have another BIOS release next week (I hope) that will offer additional performance and enhance auto settings.

As a reminder, C1E/CnQ being enabled will slightly affect performance and to maximize drive performance, either operate in AHCI or RAID mode and be sure to use the proper 10.4 SB/AHCI/RAID driver set from ATI.
Thanks bingo13, I catch alot of grief for it, but I always try to keep the IMC/HTLink matched (or at least close). If you come up with any decent beta BIOS be sure to shoot me a PM, I'll be more than willing to help you test it...

It's really late here, but I got all my gear moved over to the main rig.
It's not as pretty as some folks, but at least I'm runnning on the good stuff!

Heres a Pic:


I'm going to go to Microcenter this weekend to get some "Blood Red" coolant. I know it's just asthetics, but that green fluid just doesn't do my rig justice...

I'll get some legit comparisons between the 790X and 890FX on the same gear within the next few days too, not sure how much improvement I'll see, but I'm curious myself, and I'll share my results!
