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.
