Is that supposed to be special? My old mobo has a removable BIOS chip too (Although it's a lot bigger, as you may expect from older tech)

Uh yeah it is special for Asus.. 965P was the last time I have seen that they had a removable BIOS chip on a premium or deluxe mobo..

When they make a northbridge that one can max out the motherboards memory slots / capacity and not require the north bridge to be overclocked..

lol

LOL is right!! Capacity does not increase MCH speed at all..what are you talking about?

No I mean, using all motherboard slots with full capacity dimms. Most northbridges have to have higher volts.

For example, maxing out most intel boards 16gb limit with 4gb sticks in four slots.

Its not different than stress testing your CPU.. if you do not load it 100% it probably will be stable..and not need as much voltage. You cannot cram oodles of GB's through a NB and expect not to increase the voltage.

*You can loosen timings to also to help with heat and voltage stability as well..so there are plenty of ways to remedy it. The hardest part of using over 8GB's would be getting that many IC's that are all tolerant on the same timings.
