Ivy Bridge-E & nVidia PCIE 3.0 !?

New windows OS installed on new SSD - same problem = we gave up !

Went out, returned the CPU - explained the problem. They took the CPU back, and my buddy cashed out the difference for a Ci7 4960X !
Went home and installed the CPU into the motherboard. Booting up the old windows 7 installation and reinstalling Forceware 320.49 and X79 patch.
Now the system runs stable and haven't crashed in any of the previous benchmarks with PCIE 3.0 enabled...
WTF !!! - well an expensive replacement, but now he's extremely happy that the system is running rock solid again.
 
I have to say, when I used the patch I did get some desktop instability that wasn't there previously. This was on 314* branch though IIRC. To be fair there isn't much performance to be gained from it?

Well in my own rig at 2560x1440 when I test with Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmark, theres a 3-4FPS difference in the average FPS when I try with PCIE 2.0 vs 3.0, so there's a little to be gained ;)
