Update: Feb 09, 2013: Update your Intel Management Engine Firmware in bios

I just purchased the ASUS P9X79 Deluxe and scoured the forum for owners and couldn't find any threads. What are some things to note about this series of boards? What quirks are there and what can you recommend when OCing? I've been doing my homework while waiting for my board to be delivered. I found this series of videos, which are very helpful. This will be my first attempt at OCing with multi only since I am coming from an X58 platform.

I just bought the P9X79 with i7 3820 and love it!.........I run everything default, don't oc, so I can't comment on any performance other than stock, which is great!
I was surprised that for such an expensive platform the P9X79 is really a 'bare bones' board, which is fine with me, I only wish it had a USB 3.0 front panel header. I got what I wanted though, a true 'enthusiast' platform thats a little different than everyone else has!

FYI, the 1009 series bios is out for the ASUS X79 boards:
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20120330170525445&board_id=1&model=SABERTOOTH+X79&page=1&SLanguage=en-us

It is also on their main download page:

2.Improve memory compatibility.
3..Enhance compatibility with some USB devices.
4.Fix PCIEx16 VGA card HD 7970 cannot be detected when the temperature of VGA less than -40.

Hi,

I was wondering, does anyone else got problem running AIDA64 or HWiNFO64 on their P9X79 system? On my system, AIDA64 stall at "Scanning RAID devices" & HWiNFO64 stall at "analyzing". My computer doesn't crash but AIDA64 or HWiNFO64 service failed to terminate, so the only way to reboot is by pushing the reset button.

EDIT: Found a solution for AIDA64 here.

It's a fault in the Intel RST drivers.

Yes, you're correct. Updated Intel RSTe driver to v3.0.1.7016 (from here). Now both AIDA64 & HWiNFO64 run without any problem.
