Asus MAXIMUS IV EXTREME

Recieved mine today and all I can say is WOW. What a nice, quality motherboard! Really, really pleased and well worth the companies money.
 
Whats the deal with this "Fast" EFI BIOS?

Its anything but fast. My UD7 is much quicker at booting into windows. I thought it was supposed to be instant. Saying that the BIOS is very nice to use.
 
Asgard what u managed to clock to so far?

Still rebuilding all the software. Hopefully might get chance at the weekend.

The Intel Raid controller is a joke and doesn't work in W7 64 Bit. The RAID drops out while building. Had to resort to using the Marvel Raid for mirroring which seems to work fine.
 
i thought the intel raid was suppose to be the better of the two i have a intel raid array that i need to transfer over when i do my build

is that with the latest bios as well?

Lastest software and latest Bios suggested by Clone. With the Intel Raid it starts building, gets between 5-15% and drops out saying Parity error, ID5. Tried all day. Moved it over to the Marvel Raid and works a treat, fast and zero issues.

This is a Raid1 Mirror. I googled it and found a fair few threads with other people having problem. Not just this board. Might be a W7 issue. I certainly wouldn't trust a stripe with it.

The system at stock although I think the board is boosting all cores to 3.8 feels much faster than my [email protected]

Disappinted with idle power at 119 Watts expected better. My 920 idled at 155 Watts. Load is much better in LinX, 190 Watts against 300 watts. 50 GFLOPS against 45.

The NF200 doesn't engage with the card in the top slop and pulls no power from what I can tell which is really nice.

Been a nightmare day but getting better. Looks nice in my 800D.
