Asus X99-A 3.1 Shipping BIOS?

Ugh so why must this board insist on a 127bclk to get the ram running at 2800? I've read a few things regarding this.. but no one really seems to care. I hate this autotuning garbage. Also.. can 5820ks be overclocked while maintaining dynamic voltage? Everyone seems to be running a static voltage..

Asus X99-A 3.1 Shipping BIOS?

Same here.. Can confirm it does indeed ship with 1901 and there are no issues (other than ram being set at 2166@1.2V, but that's hopefully 'fixable') with the full deck of 128gb.. Thanks again sir!

Asus X99-A 3.1 Shipping BIOS?

That's awesome, thank you so much for answering. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99AUSB_31/HelpDesk_Download/ as you can see (by selecting other for system).. 1801 (release prior to 1901) is the bios that supports 16gb modules. So 1901 shipping is perfect. Just curious, where did...

Asus X99-A 3.1 Shipping BIOS?

Anyone get this board recently? I'd like to know if it ships with a BIOS capable of 'handling' 16gb sticks.. I just bought 128gb (8x16GB) -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233814 and need to know if I should cancel/change my order to also include a cheap 4gb stick.. I...

Oh I removed the AV right off the bat. Those things are more persistent than the 'spyware' they attempt to prevent. God this stupid keyboard is terrible; the Surface Pro like variety. It has a SanDisk X110 M.2 SSD, which makes me wish I bought the 128GB model... as write performance is most...

Gas Mileage on the Interstate

I'm surprised no one has mentioned gear ratios. Although I've never heard of a gear swap for Hyundais. In my turbo trailblazer SS (20mpg highway) I run open loop and command what the Australians call "lean cruise"; or an air fuel ratio of 15.5 for moderate loads. It helps. Clean the MAF/IAT...

and now for the buying hangover... I get the feeling that haswell doesn't support 3 monitors (unless the mobo has two display ports). Can anyone confirm if there is a difference between the pll limitations of ivy and haswell?

On the ex-div date the price decreases by the amount of the dividend. I suppose a decent trick would be to look for payouts to have uneven, or fractional payouts. But the best thing to do would be to buy both (small amounts) and enroll in the DRIP program. ARR especially, thats really attractive...
