loveha As to the BIOS update, I hear people are still complaining about C states and other power saving features. Not sure what they are as I don't pay attention because I don't use them.

Could we PLEASE get rid of hysteresis on the CPU fan  controller?  It serves no useful purpose, and it results in excessive irritating fan noise,  sluggish fan performance which makes that header useless.  If EVGA cranked down the hysteresis to zero, then EVGA would be the only mobo brand that has instantaneous fan control, and that would be a large competitive advantage.
All Abit mobos had zero hysteresis, but they're no longer around.  The fan controller on EVGA's Vid cards has zero hysteresis, but EVGA has locked users out of the critical desireable   0-29% range, possibly a bigger problem than hysteresis..... so we're left with nothing.

Hysteresis is the difference in a profile ascending temp vs descending temp.  Ever notice that when you exit a game your CPU temp drops immediately, but the fan still revs high?  Fan speed eventually comes down, but there is no reason for the lag, fan should downrev instantly, like the fan control on my gtx480 (which is hysteresis = zero, check it out under the fan tab of after burner).
The important thing is that EVGAs BIOS engineers know all about hysteresis.

then you neglect to explain your complaint - why it is that you are complaining.

Did you read a single word of my post?   Did you somehow miss my complaint about "excessive irritaing  fan noise"?  Or  "sluggish fan performance"?   What about losing the lower 29% of the fan's range on my gtx480?  Any of this sound familiar?

I don't know who you think you are, but you don't get to decide who can and cannot post to this forum.  You don't have the power of censorship, especially when it's a matter of somebody saying something you don't like.  You started out by spouting this "package temp" non-sense, that was Ok.  Then you started hurling insults, start a flame war (which violates the tos) for my "crime" of reporting a deficiency of the BIOS.   What are you going to do?  Ban me from this forum?  
If you were right, then the delay would be in both ascending and descending directions.  But it's easy to show that there is no delay *at all* in the ascending direction, and lots of delay in the descending direction.  "Package temp" myth dismissed.  BTW, MSI uses the same fan controller chip and they have almost no delay descending, more proof that it's a matter of programing.

Somebody needs to teach you some manners, son.

Well, in preparation for the arrival of AMD Bulldozer/Intel LGA2011 systems I have finally parted with my E759 board   It's been a great ride for the last 3 years but for the next few months I'll be busy with (hopefully) some sub-zero benching on the GA-X58A-OC and look forward to what EVGA will have to offer for the upcoming Intel flavor...I sure hope that there will be some exquisite offerings.  By the way, why does EVGA not offer anything for AMD flavor?
