Well, Technically, this board does not support my DDR3-1600 RAM by Crucial either. Asus doesn't update there QVL when new things come availible. There is the possibility that with the Microcode Validation and Plug and Play BIOS on, that it would initialy just read as a new processor, until Windows updates with the new information of the processor, tehn when you reboot, BIOS may have the Info it needs.
Â
But, this is risky, it may work, it may not. The only way to know is for someone to try, and I don't have the money to "try" anything.

Okay, so I took a chance and bought 16GB of Kingston Hyper X Genesis DDR3-1600. So far, same issues as my Crucial Ballistix Tracer RAM. To get any form of OC to work, the RAM has to be set at 1333, but seems to let me OC Stabily to 3.8GHz. Only after the stability tests do I get BSOD's at 4GHz. This was OCing only with the Multiplier, the CPU-NB, and the HyperTransport. Anybody getting anything better? I know the 1090T does not OC as well as, say, the 1055T, but I still should be able to get at least what it gets.

alright guys, seems I keep hitting a wall at 3.8GHz on my 1090T. I swapped out RAM to Kingston Hyper X Genesis DDR1600 RAM, and as long as I run it at 1333MHz, it is fairly stable with an overclock. Even so, I don't keep it at that because now my power supply seems to hate me.

(Seem like pretty common with some BIOS).
The BIOS of my other PC (HP, AMD2+, Phenom X2) has this feature: I programmed it to turn on at 7AM every day. The BIOS has no SLEEP time, but Windows7/8 , power properties, put the PC to sleep after 1-2 hours of inactivity.
Thank you.

sorry it took so long to reply, since not many people actually frequent this group I made I don't check it regularly, and I never got the Email for when you posted.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find anywhere in BIOS you can program it to come on. I have a Old 2003 model Dell with this same option, and it comes in pretty handy. What I have learned from that system is you can schedule a task in Windows 7 Schedule Manager to wait til current tasks finish, then completely shut down the system. I set my Dell to startup at noon, and shutdown at Midnight, so effectively is running during the peak hours people would use it. But, since you are telling it to sleep, you may be able to let it sleep when not in use, and setup a Wake timer in Windows.

My windows8 has a widget-clock-alarm (paid version has even: go to this radio station and play it).
So that's my alarm clock, and all my mails are ready in the morning everyday at 7:00am
I remember all the AMI 10-15 years ago all have this. Now BIOS has more space but they cut down on simple thing like this.
