Didn't read the thread completely, but thought I'd let you guys know.
If you guys are rocking an SLi and your system's VGA_LED stays lit, probably it's because of the BIOS.
Flash to 0075 and it gets fixed, at least for me.
It was pretty fun when the MVG arrived and (remember, my system is completely watercooled with a kinda complex loop) I got a VGA_LED error, found no info nowhere and decided to tear down the whole liquid cooling and boot piece by piece, getting the same error even with stock HSFs, just to realize that the BIOS was the culprit.
EDIT: Guys, how can I set custom temp curves with Fan Xpert II? It doesn't let me lower the fan speed of the San Aces. Only set them to 0 or over 90.

Finally got to run my 3rd chip tonight, and its a doozy compared to my others. It does single threaded benches at 6.3GHz+:

I treated this chip differently than my previous 2 chips... I did not enable LN2 mode, and I left all voltages at auto except DRAM and VCore. Ran 1.7V or lower all night, except just before shutting down I had to increase vcore .75 in order to get pifast and sp1m to run just a little faster than sp32m would run.

That thing just looks pretty sweet but can't swing one atm these days I guess 
Riding on my P6T7 awhile I suppose.

Nice scores , or at least much better than last one
I have no idea why when you set most on auto then cpu is clocking a bit better. I had exactly the same benching 3D on 2 cores last days.
Try your PSC on the same settings as tridents but 9-11-9-28, 9-12-9-28 timings ~1.75V. Should be 2-3 seconds faster in Spi32m
Btw. I still have no info about prizes in gskill hwbot competition. 11 days passed since end

Formula and/or Extreme should be out soon. They were photographed and displayed extensively at computex. Splave already has one. Sammy has shown how to lube one up.
FWIW.

I would go formula/extreme if I could do it over again and I had the money... I can't use the Revodrive with a GPU on LN2, unless I put the Revo in slot 1 and the GPU in slot 2 which leaves the GPU running at x8. I think people say that running in PCIe x8 hurts benchmark scores by a couple percent or so.
Depends which card. It's more that I noticed performance drop while running my cards on pcie 1.1 while all are 2.0. I didn't try pcie 3.0 as I don't have any card like that ( yet ). I'm not sure if setting pcie 2.0 from x16 to x8 will give the same effect ... I bet that for new high end cards it will.
It also happens in only some older benchmarks where fps is really high ( 1k+ fps ).

What about PCIe riser card-cables?

Guys, if you want to set custom temp curves in Fan Xpert II, to "unlock" the curves (0-100), you have to edit "C:\ProgramData\FanXpert2\info.xml" and set all the "MinDutyToKeepRunning" and "MaxDutyToKeepStill" values to 0, this way, you'll be able to set curves for fans that the auto-tuning thingy does not support.

Added 0904 to the first post. I thought I had already done that.
Also flashing to that version, I'm still on 0402, but I don't have any profiles setup that really matter. 0402 has actually been fine for me as well, just want to try out something new.

I've yet to post here til now. I'm running 0701. Perfectly stable; no issues with anything. Generally I like to keep things up to date; but at the same time I'm also wondering if updating is worth it at all.
When you save to USB; can you save the profiles for a particular BIOS version; then reload them for another version? (I doubt it?)
I haven't tried it yet; but I remember with my Rampage Gene II if I updated my bios; my profiles would still be there; but not as useable profiles; it'd error. Is this the same for this board? Thanks.

I'm going to test out the spi booster as well. I saved a profile to USB, didn't check to see if it was there afterwards, and haven't tried reloading it yet. If I remember next time I run, I'll save a profile and share it in this thread... Then someone can see if it works in a different bios version.
That is the only difference I noticed really going from 0402 to 0904. Functionally everything else was the same - no drawbacks, no perks.
