Hello,
 
I have recently picked up a E770 and I am extremely pleased with my initial impressions!  And this is coming from a R3BE
Due to circumstances I just happened to start with the R3E, then switched to X58A-OC, then to R3BE, and now finally the Classy.
 
I want to take full advantage of this board's capability and in order to do that I just need a few features to be added to the BIOS (if possible).
 
Did the E770 come out before the R3E? If so it's pretty obvious right at first glance. I have to say one thing asus "improved" is VDroop Control ie LLC. I prefer using VDroop and this board needs a 50% type VDroop setting, rather than only ON or OFF. Is it possible that this be added? I ran my 980X at @ 4.5GHz on R3E at 1.324v and 1.316v on the X58A-OC. I REALLY feel like I can beat that with this board, but I need 50% VDroop.
 
Secondly, R3E and X58A-OC had CPU thermal monitoring settings that can be disabled. CPU TM for Asus and PROCHOT for Giga. I feel this will greatly help in stability or even just being able to run a certain overclock.
 
Lastly, can tRC (Row Cycle Time) be added to BIOS? There is no way of setting this in Windows and when running high memory clocks, settings these subtimings properly makes a day and night difference. The only boards that have tRC are Gigabyte. E770 has all subtimings settable like Giga, except for tRC. Asus is missing a few..
 
I can appreciate well engineered hardware and the E770 is one of them for sure. From the impressive heatsinks to the layout to the functionality, I am totally in love. If a few of the above mentioned improvements can be made I swear I will never look away. Great product guys

I defiantly like using Vdroop, but am unaware of any 50% setting I run my 980 at a host freq of 167 with 12G of  2000 speed memory using a 2:12 I need a big bump in Vtt to do this. my vcore is set at 1.375 but if I turn off Vdroop it will work at 1.325. my Vtt is set at 1.475 but eleet shows 1.54 under monitoring. BIOS 83 has the most Memory setting features, but I don't use that I stayed with 77. hopes this helps some.




Sorry I don't have much knowledge on the other board manufacturers or what their BIOS offers.

Found a J_IOH jumper near the IOH. Anyone know what this is for?

The header for the pulsing E logo is labeled ' JLED '.
 
The ' J_IOH ' is a 3 pin jumper, with the jumper on the left two pins. Very curious to know what this is.

Davabled,
 
Thanks a lot for your assistance. Yes you are right, a google search of J_IOH brings up nada.
 
I will post at kingpin and if I get an answer I'll be sure to post back here.

Thanks spoolindsm127,
I thought it might be something akin to the X-cool jumper but for the Northbridge, but I was hesitant to add more speculation and risk mis-information. 

No prob Davabled, credit goes to you too for pointing me in the right direction.
 
Out of curiosity, for those who use VDroop: How much does the board Droop the VCore? And at what voltage?

Hey bdary,
 
That much Droop seems normal to me. I just received an RMA replacement board so I will see how it regulates voltage. The board I sent in was drooping VCore about 0.11v (or 110mV)!
 
Thanks for your input. Also the 0.4v-0.45v Droop you see, is that while running LinX?
