    That's very true, there are a few easy ways to rectify the situation:
    1) ROGConnect flashing doesn't even need a CPU or RAM installed. As long as the board is getting power, you can force a flash to the selected BIOS chip.
    2) The BIOS chips are in DIP8 sockets for easy removal/replacement. I'm not sure about anyone else here, but I have the ability to flash DIP8 ROMs with a USB programmer, so if worst comes to worst, I can just remove the BIOS chip from the RIVE, put it in the programmer, go to another computer and flash the BIOS using that computer and the programmer. Even without a programmer, you can buy pre-programmed BIOS chips online and just pop the new chip in the socket.
    3)Swap the two chips and boot. It'll say something like "Updating iROG 1." Once that's done, you should be good to go.

    It is better Vcore fixed or Offset?
    Depends on the situation. I use fixed so I can't really comment on how to properly set up an offset.
    In this situation, I'm just going to point you towards Raja or LardArse. They can answer your question much better than I can.

    I would like to add another 680 GTX to my setup so its 3 way SLi
    The user manual says to put the cards in slots 1, 2 & 4 to give 16x8x16 (which is not a problem)

    The question is, what do I do with my ASUS Xonar Xense sound card so the three cards stay at 16x8x16?

    Hopefully someone will have the answer as google is not my friend & I have spent the last 5 hours looking at build logs.
    The only way would be to put the Xense in the x1 slot, which would require the bottom-most 680 to have a single-slot cooler(pretty much the only way that'll happen is if you're watercooling).
    Otherwise, you'll have to put the Xense in x16 slot 5, which will reduce your 680s to x16/x8/x8.
