Ive had one since release and i cant fault it at all, very easy to overclock on, and great bios, probably the best mobo ive owned.

I have had this in my system for about 4 months and it has been 100% stable. I got it to replace my Asus Maximus Formula which was suffering with capacitor whine.

which bios file is everyone running?

In your opinions which have been the most stable?

Im on 0803 which is as old as the hills, but it's been very stable for me, so i see no need to change.

Thanks for the heads up about the BIOS.

I'm running the latest one, but it won't allow me to overclock the NB voltage, which is stopping me from using 8GB of ram.

I'm running two discs in raid, and when I updated the bios it wiped my boot rom - forcing me to re-install! (luckily I used a disc image to restore from so all is cool!
The system still saw the marvel controller and the two raid volumes, but for some reason wouldn't boot from them!

Is it possible to roll back the bios and still let the system see my raid boot discs without any agro?

Downgrade from latest versions is very dificult, try Asus forum on P5Q deluxe, I was noticet some details for sucsess downgrade in this forum...

I've run 8GB with all four slots populated under the new bios, and all being well, at the moment, it's running like clockwork (touch wood).

I've seen the note, many thanks, but I think i'll tick with this for the moment.

Also, while i'm here, would you leave your Plug N Play setting in the bios default off or change to on?
