Maximus VIII Hero q-codes 14, 15 and 99

Picked up the system yesterday, and they said it's surges - it only happened once during 1.5 week of testing, whereas for me it's about daily with two exceptions in 3 weeks. Borrowed a surge protector extension cord thingy, and might need to RMA the PSU after all. I'll see what happens after doing some more things myself before I RMA anything.

Updated the BIOS yesterday to 1402, because it's there, and loaded optimised defaults. Didn't do much else but thought I'd run 4 instances of HCI Memtest overnight, each of 1750, coverage this morning was 1480+ % with 0 errors. Task manager said it loaded up 8GB of 16, that doesn't like the best coverage of the total RAM?

If it's handy I can also upload BIOS screenshots but of what should I make them?

On a side note, tried to disable Thunderbolt and I can but is also enables some sort of native PCI setting? Is that okay, and, what is it?

I did make pics for you to look at, of the socket and CPU from all sides.
