Anyone thinking of a Intel Extreme D975bx-305 975X from OCuK, the one they sent me was a rev 304 and they are advertised as rev 305. Im not realy bothered but if you want a 305 it may be worth checking with them.

Anyway, regardless, no problems with compatibility, performance, or anything else as far as I can tell.

Description of Change to the Customer:
1. Updating the BIOS to revision 1351.
2. Audio CODEC Revision. The STAC9220 and STAC9221D audio codec
upgraded to revision A6. No software impact expected.
3. Serial Number Changes. Product Serial numbers will begin
transitioning from a numerical only 5-digit value to a base 34 alphanumeric
value. This new serial number will include numerical values
and alphabet characters from A-Z, except for I and O. This change is a
soft conversion and will occur when the supply of older serial number
labels has been depleted

Corasik said:Im using Corsair XMS2 5400C4, the board correctly detects it as 667mhz and sets that by default, although it doesnt detect that its C4, default timings were 5-5-5-16, however there was no problem when I overided that at set it to 4-4-4-12.
Performance, and stability are great, I've not tried overclocking it yet, because its simply fast enough already with my E6700. I'll probably clock it next year.
It was the fastest computer build ever, without a single hitch. Just threw all the componants into my case, powered up, and good to go.

I can change memory timings and voltage and CPU speed but not CPU voltage.

On a side note, are OcUK now selling the full retail version with rounded cables and accessories? At one point they were selling OEM ones in a brown box.

Cheers for the link on modding the board, haven't had chance to go buy any metallic pen / paint yet.
