    yes, i have exactly the same feeling...
    that's a pita, i paid 380 euro for a board that work worst than every other board on the market.
    i bet that even the asrock can do more than 222 MHZ of BCLK with qpi in full mode.

    i don't know what to do now, i'm not sure that this board can pass an rma, at default seems that all work good....

    it's unbelievable that EVGA don't cherrypick the X58 chip, i expected a lot more from this mobo...........

    yes, sli/crossfire sometimes cut the QPI-link overclocking ability, i know, but i'm running with a single geffo 6200 LE and i don't plan to go for crossfire or sli.

    it's also unbelievable that the manufacturers (asus, evga, etc etc) don't cherrypick the x58 for the flagship board...we paid a lot of money for them, they write everywhere "best oc motherboard ever and BS like this" and then sell mobo with a lot of problem and sometimes bad design.

    i've a 150 euro ud3r that can go higher than this evga
