specifically, it doesn't like it when the middle pcie 8x slot is populated. otherwise, it _seems_ to work, and i think it may actually be a bios problem, but no guarantees. i delidded the chip and lapped the lid on a proper granite surface plate down to about 2000+ grit then tossed some arctic silver between the lid and die.

the cpu and board were clocked to 4.4 or 4.5ghz for about 6 months at a very conservative voltage, and well cooled by a thermalright silver arrow sb-e extreme (not included because i ****ed around with it to fit a different case -- you probably don't want it). basically, would make for a good cheap simple heavy compute desktop but i have no idea what will happen if you toss a video card into the mix. it seemed to work only a single 16x card populating the top slot but i didn't heavily stress test it.

anyway, first 200 into my paypal account gets the whole thing shipped anywhere in the conus.

note comes with no ram.

also note i think it has something to do with bios because it started acting up literally like 1 month to the day after intel announced that they were canning their desktop motherboard business. the bioses have gotten worse every day since then and every time i update it something goes wonky and i have to rebuild the entire machine to get it booting again. that said, i have a finnicky and high bandwidth lsi raid card and and an amd 79xx series in the box normally, and i think the plx chip has been having some trouble with the pci2.0/3.0 mix and splitting the pcie lanes properly.

Have you tried rolling back to an older BIOS?  Is that possible?

Dude had problems with my intel board with newer bios's my suggestion RMA the board and sell it off a new or refurb depending on what they sent you.

no, firmware upgrades replace processor microcode, which can't be rolled back.
