Damn, the runtime of that video is a perfect demonstration of why some things are just better done in writing.

LOL its just because in the middle of the review he just goes off on a tangent rambling nonsense. Must be ADHD or something..

Well, I for one don't need a ten-minute segment detailing and discussing every single UEFI feature either. Some screenshots and a few paragraphs of text usually shows that stuff off just fine. I have to admit I didn't even bother skipping through the whole thing. Did it ever get past a "list all the features on this board" video into some actual testing? And did the testing entail more than basic OCing? DPC latency? Audio testing? Other on-board features actually tested? Otherwise, it doesn't really deserve the term "review"...

Jayz just did this video with the new bios installed.

Where is everyone getting all these beta bios for this board.

You mean, the video isn't just a picture of a brick?

I kid... I kid!!! I love ASUS. My previous two boards were ASUS and I got 10 years out of them, no problems!

Basically, you need to be on the correct forums that ASUS (or...) frequent in.
Like here for example: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread

Sadly, no official people, that I know of, from any mobo company frequent here.

Thanks.

Although I want to try a new bios, I really hate tempting fate. I am the total opposite as everyone else. On BIOS 902, fan profiles work perfectly. I am totally stable at stock speeds on 16GB of 3200nhz CAS 14 memory at stock speeds.

My only problem is I may have the worst 1800X ever. Anything over stock speeds and I spontaneously reboot after about 30 minutes of Realbench, no matter what voltage I set. I went as high as 1.45, and full LLC and still not stable. I have played with the SOC voltage, dropped the memory down to 2933, and it still crumps out at 3.9GHZ.

The odd thing is at 1.4, I can boot into Windows at 4.1GHZ and still make full runs of Firestrike and other benchmarks with no problem. When I have the shutdown's, I get no errors in Windows Event viewer. Just poof.

**Edit***

I may have found the problem. Either Realbench might not like Crossfire, or my power supply might be going. I downloaded IBT, and I can run 4.0GHZ at 3200mhz CAS 14 for 30 runs with no trouble at 1.4 vcore max memory.

I did notice while watching Realbench a few minutes before it cut out, the 12V rail would drop to 1.8V. It only cut out after there was a reported voltage drop. It was not instantaneous, but if I seen a drop, I knew I was not going to pass. IBT tops out at 90C at 4GHZ, but averages 78.9C. That does not include the 20C offset that was mentioned by AMD.
