    I've read the majority of this thread and I have to say I'm disappointed in the Rex 3. BLCK seems hit or miss which is not on for a top end OC'ing board. UD7 and Classy seem was more consistent in getting 230+ too many examples of where this board is no better and sometimes worse than the Rex 2 was. Bad memory compatibility too. If you OC with multi and low BCLK it seems ok though.

    I think you guys are dreaming if you think asus is going to bring out the option for separate PLL controls. As Peter said, they appear to be tied into the same plane so separating them is not possible. Also when have asus ever brought new functionality to a board post release? Asus asked for my input during Rex 3 development, and I suggested things like ability to lower CPU PLL (could not do this on Rex 2) as guys on Giga's and Classy were doing this with OC'ing improvements. It was taken on board and Rex 3 has it adjustable, but I asked could they do it for Rex 2 also. Not a chance.

    Expect a few more bioses with 'enhance memory compatibility' as the entire change log, with more and more time between each release. If you want that nice level of transparency and communication, trying a gigabyte seems to be a good option. I remember when HiCookie was on here every couple of days in the UD7 and UD9 threads answering questions, posting mods, testing beta bioses and handing them out, was awesome to see.

    Yep, no point having a QPI PPL voltage setting with a bad IOH chipset.

    I don't think this board was really designed around low / locked multiplier CPU's.
