Just got my Asus M5A99x Evo installed and set up. I'm in the process of re-overclocking my trusty 960T CPU. Boy, I'm not impressed with Ausus' implementation of LLC. The old M5A97 nonevo I am replacing only had two choices for LLC, Auto and Enabled and Enabled gave a huge voltage shot to both vdrop and vdroop. The M5A99x Evo has a number of LLC choices but they all seem to give about the same extra push at both idle and under load: just about enough to exactly offset drop and only about .25v more than that on the droop. Doesn't accomplish much. What I was surprised about on the new board is how much bigger it is from front to back. I had to install an extra row of offsets for the back edge but at least it's supported well.
Soon, I'll post some pics of my case innards. Not only do I have a new board but I just got that Noctua D14 installed that I accidentlly won on ebay recently. What a big beautiful piece of workmanship that is!
