Is that with any OC or stock settings?

I've been impressed with the board the first 5 days. Wish I could contribute to the sleep issue but I'm just not a sleep kind of guy.

The UEFI was pretty fluid(Was it in the UEFI it says no dual boot issue, or maybe the manual, thought that was funny). Put a 2600K in under water. 4.8Ghz at ~1.4v. 20 loops of LinX, and has folded big adv work units the last 5 days, with a 460GTX folding at same time.

Honestly pretty simple to setup and use. Set power and current limit to 200, ratio to 48, level 2 LLC. Thought PLL was a little high at stock settings, 1.85v or thereabouts. Dialed it back to 1.79v. Disabled the C-states. Left the rest at default. Used fixed offset Vcore to find stablity voltage for 4.8Ghz. Switched to offset mode, think I needed .07 offset. Voltage responds just how I want for Speed Step changes from idle to 100% and back.

Vcore was a little jumpy but acceptable. No chance to play with DRAM config yet, just 1333 7 CAS for now, will venture there later.

Can't remember but I very rarely run stock.

Anyway, here's a better newly taken screenshot.

How did you manage to get the 1.00 Bios version? The only ones available are 1.10, 1.30 and 1.34.

Came with the mobo, probably an early sample from Asrock itself.

Anyway, took some pics of the mATX Asrock Z68 Pro3-M motherboard. Just click on this pic if you guys are interested in more.
