Scarlet-Tech;  I didn't mean my processor being underclocked, I meant my memory.  It's G.SKiLL Ripjaw 2800 32GB only running at 2133 w/o XMP.  If I do indeed change it to 2667 which is the max the motherboard seems to handle, my system isn't stable(Why doesn't it offer 2800? Why is XMP 2.0 not released for the board when the memory supports it?).  I've tested each stick of memory in this system and it's good.  I took another step further and tested my complete 32GB on an MSI Board that a friend has and it ran @ 2800 without a problem.  This is starting to make me wonder if I should return my motherboard for another x99 board that is more focused on their customers concerns.  For how much this motherboard costs, it's a shame that we aren't able to even tests our systems completely.  The MSI x99 motherboard was also about 140 dollars cheaper than this board.  I'm not saying everyone needs to jump the bandwagon and return their classified evga's because it does come with a ton of features and a very condusive bios setup along with a nicely built board.  I am simply wondering where the actual support is from the company.  Sorry for any confusion, Scarlet-Tech.
 
Long story short,
I feel like the motherboard was released far too soon to keep up with competition and has suffered dearly making some loyal customers who have always bought their video cards wonder about the products they are releasing and when answers will come.

I understand now. My apologies too, I was slightly confused as well. I understand the frustration, as it has to be a pain to pay a lot for stuff and be getting the support an infant can provide.

I hope they make good on their word sooner than later, as there seems to be A LOT of frustration occurring as of late.

Yes, my overkloc it is however 4900 Ghz can't change the RING. takes only 36 x my benchmark results on hHWBOT are bad

i am in the same boat my Wife has a ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 running perfect with her ram and my ram in it with XMP this is not really a good 1st time buy for me on a "FLAGSHIP" motherboard from EVGA for sure now i get to suffer in many ways 1 my wife was right and knows she was about we should get the same mobos...but silly me i wanted to buy all evga parts LOL!

I'd love a response from an admin to address all of these issues.  It seems like I am not the only one experiencing these problems.  It would be lovely to actually get some updates regarding the bugs and what steps you are taking to fix them.  This motherboard has a ton of features and was built well as I said, but it cost more than my 5920k.  The fact of the matter is, you have *picture your dream car* with all the bells and whistles and it doesn't have an engine that's properly working.  I find it astonishing that it won't even support the 2800 ram let alone be stable with XMP 1.0 (WHEN I HAVE 2.0 CAPABLE MEMORY WHICH IS REVERSABLE.) -- yes, that does overclock my processor to 4.0GHZ.. considering I have an h100i w/ push & pull it wouldn't be a problem seeing as it doesn't go over 37c (70c on load prime95).  I'd like a response from someone who is capable of actually doing some damage control and maybe giving us a solution instead of lip service or I might indeed just go for a motherboard that is 200 dollars cheaper yet is far superior because it WORKS PROPERLY.

A 219.00 motherboard is capable of performing much better than this motherboard(Due to SLI Problems, Memory Issues, Stability w/ XMP, Lack of XMP 2.0, the RING issue), afmotamedi.  I too bought EVGA because I trust their brand due to their excellent video cards.  I figured with such high end products and service that it would transfer over to their motherboards.  I guess it's a completely different team with a different outlook.  EVGA, when will you give us a statement as to what the status is on these bugs and an estimate on when a new update?  I'd rather have a realistic expectation for the update that has stability and has been tested thoroughly than something that is just put out to calm the crowd.

ASUS think much faster than others... Maybe not think but react faster than others and probably 2-3 years in front of their competition...
Only look this pictures... and what people do with own processor because looks like some of extra pins 1-2 are very important for OC Processor and memory.
Example I don't want to do this... and if some manufacturer prove that some socket is dominant than OK... Same as I don't want to pay Matrix Platinum and OC 100MHZ to reach fabric clock of some other model no matter of their fans explanation, because I don't want to go in casino and think what will happen with my silicon...
 

 
 
 
I don't know how ASUS make so good motherboards and that's hardest hardware for build and so average graphic cards...
OK production process is finest than Zotac, GIGABYTE, MSI you see that after unbox but Classified graphic cards are much better experience somehow when hold in hand. Probably because for ASUS is most important quantity and don't want to compromise that with overclocking to much. And of course ASUS same as other brands you notice immediately when some brand is born in Asia. Someone can't recognize, I recognize they sign immediately. ASUS is maybe and best of all others but still have sign of China/Taiwan.
Because of that EVGA is somehow different and popular but can't lead customers in inferior motherboard position any more.
We must be real, one thing is what we like and what is in our heart but ASUS is owner of last 10 most important innovation in motherboard industry and that's reality.

you're absolutely right my friend, it is not possible that a $ 400 motherboard has all these problems.  all other other brand motherboards are compatible with xmp 3200 ram. I have a overclok to 4900 ghz but not being able to increase the multiplier of "RIN" my bench is ridiculous

Yes, it's absurd. I also have problems with high temperatures if I leave everything default. to resolve I had to set the limit to 115°. It is not possible to work as well

not a cooling problem, use 720 aquatuct mark V with increased pump. to better understand I'll show you an example: all default clok Vcor ide temperature and 50°. 4900 Ghz Vcor 1,465 overclok set the limit at 115° c temperature at 26° ide

the ac i going to use is at homedepo for about 450$ and is for use on a 14by14 room .
 

what is a RVE?

It seems that asus solved with the latest BIOS the issue with soundcards. Is there any sign from EVGA about this thing?
Thank you

I actually haven't had any issues with my build so I think the BIOS seems to be pretty good.  Took my G.Skill 2400 ram up to 2666 no problem, XMP worked, SLI works, overclock works, no more WHEA errors, e-Claro sound card works, onboard microphone input works, etc.  Only thing I've come across recently is when I went standby and resumed my overclock was stuck at 4Ghz and even changing it in Intel ETU didn't change it.  Don't know if it was a fluke or not and haven't looked into it more.
 
I just wish EK would get a waterblock out for these things.  They made MSI X99 blocks before the Classy...****.  Slamming 550W through the CPU the VRMS get quite hot with no fans in my case.

Good luck. Nateman_doo is making blocks. I can't find blocks from any company for the x79 series, or the x99,so unless you are holding you breath for Nateman, I wouldn't hold it at all.

Oh, you guys are talking about MB blocks.  I think they are nice for looks but as performance goes, they aren't needed at all as all they do is impede the flows performance.  Ram and MB cooling adds lots of restriction to the loop and really doesn't do much.  If you're doing something close to LN2 OCing than I can see why you would need liquid cooling for those components otherwise its a waste.   CPU and GPU cooling is where its at.

Last I measured, the temperature of the VRM heatsink was 65C, and that was at the top of the heatsink so the base was probably even hotter.  The last board I had WC on the VRMs was the ASRock Z77 OC Formula and the voltages were much more stable when they were kept cold.
