Official Asus Rampage IV Extreme Thread

Wish they would be more specific about what "Improves system stability" actually means. I recently upgraded my BIOS to 3101 which fixed a Fast Boot issue I was having with my SSD, but I had no clue it would do until I'd done it.
 
Can someone tell me in what format the BF3 code comes? I think I may have *misplaced* it during my recent build. Is it a separate bit of card/paper that I need to look for?
 
Anyone point me in the direction of a noob guide for 3820 overclocking on this board? This is my first 2011 build so i'm unsure on safe voltages etc.

Anybody get error Code 'AA' after system boots into Windows and it sticks there . Haven't noticed it before ( but pretty much hard to see because of where my case is located). Apparently according to some Google searches its normal.

There is an EZ OC button in BIOS, you literally click it and it OC's your CPU. If you check in the motherboard guide it shows you how. Or take a quick google search on it. I did this for my brothers, and personally after spending about a week getting the perfect settings for my own board and CPU, I wish I did the same for my-self, marginal lower settings for about a week saved.

Its best to learn how to oc the system yourself, if you let the mobo do it for you, it can use higher than needed voltages.

There are plenty of oc guides on google to help.
 
I'm kind of undecided which route to go really, the classic 125 strap with 37 multi, 1.37 vcore for 4.6 or go for 100 strap, 43 multi for 4.3 and use offset voltage, keeping all the power saving features and the RAM at XMP 1866mhz. I'm not sure the extra 300mhz will help anything other than e-peen® in games.

I initially kept it all at auto but noticed the vcore was 1.38 under Prime Blend load which seemed excessive for 4.3 and the RAM voltage shot up to 1.65 (XMP was 1.5). I since manually set the vdimm back to 1.5 and have tried lower offset voltage.
 
Anyway had the onboard Audio die on them with their board. Mine just stopped working and all audio devices just play constant static as soon as it gets into windows (or a linux live cd). Tried updating bios, cmos clear, Re-installing drivers. Have seen 1 person through google trawling with similar issue. Anyone here experienced this?
 
Anyone got a link to the latest RAID drivers for this board? I mean the RAID driver needed during a clean install of Windows. Is this it? The F6 Drivers?

I think X79 boards use Intel RSTe (enterprise) and not the usual RST stuff?
