How are you getting on having to look at wendels mug every time you enter the UEFI?

Anyway, on a more related note when you come to tweaking your memory to get a bit more out of it without having to jump to a different divider be sure to adjust the VCCSA voltage before tweaking with the BCLK
The reason I went with the fatality board is because I liked the color scheme, I liked the layout, I prefer the snapping plastic pieces for the PCIe slot on it over the extreme 4 and 6 boards, and I liked the extra Marvel Sata III ports. Now that the Intel Sata II ports are suspect, this is an even better thing to have in my opinion since I have 6 Sata ports I can used instead of just 2.

I also disabled full screen logo during bootup so I dont have to see the face. Yes I have to see it in the bios, but here's my standpoint. I get everything adjusted and how often am I going back into the bios after I have it set the way I want it? Probably never again.

So I didn't mind the $30 bucks I paid to get basically extra marvel sata III ports over an extreme6. To me it was worth it especially with as many drives as I have and now I don't have to buy a sata controller card for that price.


Also, that short and long turbo limits were the key to stopping the thermal throttling. I find it strange though that this is the only board with this peculiar problem and solution.
