Fernando, Thanks for all your work regarding this issue. I need your guidance for my situation. I have an Asus Rampage IV extreme x79 motherboard. The latest bios from Asus is 3101 and has raid option rom 3.5.xxxx. Do you have a modified bios with 11.6 option rom? I am assuming I would...

Actually....I am on the four Sata 2 connectors...so far no sign of the faulty chipset bug... Oh...I have overclocked the 2600K! running very stable at 5.1 Ghz. I will be posting a thread in the watercooling forum with a bunch of CPU benchmarks and benchmarks with the three GTX 580's!! -M

Yes....Stock P67 on a Maximus IV extreme.. -M

I just built a Monster Sandy Bridge "Beast" Rig....I wanted to run a OCZ Revodrive X2 240, but apparently because of OCZ and/or ASUS compatability issues the drive will only run at about half speed....each company is pointing the finger the other way....Here is a screenshot of the RevoDrive X2...

That is correct! -m

I agree...and I do not know why...Must either be firmware or just how the Sandforce controller works...Would love to know why there is such a gap between 4k writes and 4k reads.. -M

Thanks!! Yes..I thtink it is fine based on what I have read on some other forums...I will be staying under 1.5v....However...I have the itch to go 1.55-1.6..and get a suicide shot at 5.0Ghz!! -m

Yes...no question...When Windows 7 loads in 20 seconds...it is noticeable...Programs load instantly, searches are instant...amazing! Thanks!! Here is what it looks like.. -M

Just got a pair of OCZ 100GB Vertex LE SSD drives...Put them in a RAID-0 config on my Asus Rampage II Extreme...with very nice results! -M

Here is a Farcry2 Benchmark... FarCry 2 Benchmark -M

Vista 64bit -M

SteelSix....Good eye! After installing all three cards with a backplate...I found that two of the cards had much higher temps.... after multiple attempts at reapplying TIM and testing I narrowed it down to the backplates were not allowing enough contact from the block to the GPU...so I...

LOL!! -M

Well..I have a Cooler Master UCP 1100 which is rated to handle up to 1200W Based on some calculatons I have read.....with a full load on the system... 3 GTX 280's overclocked = Approx 660W Core i7 overclocked = Approx 270W Hard Drives/Optical Drives Water Pumps / 14 rad fans...

No changes to the BIOS..only adjustments through precision... Thanks! -M
