Looking good. I love the new replacement for BIOS. Posts/boots so quickly. I've disabled the Marvel SATA 3 controller on mine so it doesn't do that extra screen looking for drives on it and it posts even quicker
Currently at 4.5 and it seems stable. Did manage to boot at 4.6 but it crashed like 15 minutes into using it.
In the UFI you should be able to turn off the boot messages so it just comes up with the Asus logo and then stays black until the windows boot screen. Takes no longer than 5-6 seconds with all the controllers still enabled.
Reached the magical 5.

The benefits of liquid cooling eh.
I found that my crashes are due to some memory problem rather than overclocking the CPU to far. With both sticks in I get random freezes and Windows memory diagnostic picks up an error. With just one stick in it is completely fine (have tried both sticks individually). Not a clue what's going on really. Gonna try memtest86 when I get chance. Either the RAM doesn't like being in dual channel (WTF with that?), there's a problem with the board that doesn't like dual channel or the CPU's memory controller is broken. I don't know.
Asus recommends you use the 2nd and 4th slot for dual channel. Just in case if you're using the first and third.
