ok, after toying with several weeks with this mobo, here's a couple of problems that should be fixed in the next bios update:

1. htt won't recognize values that is not divisible by 5. ie 201, 212, 223, 234 etc.

2. at ram freq 400 mode, actual value for the tRAS is for the 2nd channel is 2 units below. so if you are aiming for 15, you'll have to set it to 17, otherwise it will be set to 13.

3. the temp sensor issues. cpu temp will only be valid once it reaches above 40c.

4. cpu multi's infos are flawed. like 16x=3200 while 16.5=3200? not a big deal though.

5. tRC's value are not actually just auto, you just have to scroll up and you'll see the numbers there.

6. bios cpu speed is way off the mark once northbridge speed is greater than the hypertransport speed by 1000mhz (i'm really not sure the exact value, but it's somewhere between 700-1000mhz)

7. i dunno if it's my ram, but i can't boot windows everytime my nb speed is greater than 2400mhz.
