I went from 1090T to the 8150 because I thought I blew my thuban but turned out i corrupted the bios. I liked the thuban because you could get the NB freq to 3000MHz, however since going to the 8150 at 4.5 with a higher IMC and lower voltage I am happy for the change, and may even move to the 8350 if consistent gaming FPS (10-20 in certain games) is continued to be reported by owners.

So I got a relatively new employee after having a bios corruption issue that i mentioned above. Thought I blew my 1090t at first, so I purchased the 8150, at the same time called Asus for a new chip that my board qualified for. The rep first told me I had to pay for it, I "politely" told him he was wrong, referred to this website, and said all early rev 1 crosshair v boards get a free replacement. He put me on hold, then came and back and said yes sir you are correct, we will send it to you if you pay shipping. Good enough it came with Version 1003 and was intended to improve stability specifically w/ LLC, and have a compatible Bulldozer BIOS already flashed.
Once received all went well asides from it is not the easy piece to install I cam close to bending the prongs on installation and found it much easier to remove the second graphics card before installing
This is exactly the chip you need: http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3890 just try to get it for free!
