Install this driver then reboot the system.

Installing now.  You think this is related to FPS as well?

Installing now.  You think this is related to FPS as well?

I doubt it. Do you have windows update KB2670838 installed? If so, uninstall it as it can affect FPS.

No I only have updates:
 
KB2505454
Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256
KB958488
and KB2685811

I'm getting 25-60 average fps in TF2 on the lowest settings and roughly the same on Ultra.  Sometimes it spikes to 200s but very rarely.  Doesn't make sense.

Seems like the original bangs were fixed.  Now I have a whole new set:
 

My boot into windows took just over 5 minutes from restart.  I got this error upon restart:  Can't find target .ini F:\July 29 2014 Format\Downloads\Rampage IV\Latest as of April 8 2014\Chipset\11-12-2013 Update\Intel_Chipset_XP\Vista\Win7_8_8-1_VER9321015\Driver\Chipset\AsusSetup.ini (which is a driver I tried to install upon the beginning stages of my format). 

Also I got DVI no signal (black monitor) on restart.  Once I moved my mouse windows was loaded.

If you want to check out anything on my PC sajin I can install teamviewer and we can see how that goes.

Code 28 on those bangs?

Yea

Yeah you were right. I came to find out that there was a switch I had never noticed before. I had an issue with the Nvidia driver and I went to go boot in safe mode to try and fix it. After I was done with safe mode I went to restart by using the switch on the mobo. That's when I noticed the switch. LN2 "Slow Mode". It was set to "ON" from the factory. With some research online I came to find out that this switch, when enabled, locks your multiplier at exactly 12x. When I disabled the switch my overclocks immediately started to register within windows. Boot speeds were still fast and windows no longer ran like garbage with my kingpin cards. I disabled thermal monitoring as you suggested, by the way.
All is well. Thanks to you guys. Here's some updated benchmarks and some other pics:
First pic: The aftermath and mess of me taking things apart a bunch of times, lol. No extra charge for letting you see my tooth brush:

That's a weird motherboard switch to be enabled 'ON' by default. Locking the multiplier at 12x won't even permit your cpu to reach advertised stock clock speeds.

Yep and that was 100% the problem.  I was getting half the speeds I was supposed to on every single core, causing a bottleneck on my video cards.

Was there actually a problem with the original mobo (i.e., dead PCIe slot), or was the root cause of your problems just that DIP switch being enabled?

 
Ah no the issue with the old one was completely separate.  I'm still thinking it was a south bridge issue but Asus can barely tie their shoes let alone let me know what the diagnosis was on the old board.  lol.

when u ran the bench did u have the side of your case on? I ask because the temp readout on the cards are diff by 22 degrees and the hotter card is doing less work(76%  vs 97%), and if the side was on do u have the fan set to intake or ex?

 
The side of my case is off on both sides.

HOWARD70
when u have the sides on does the side fan help close the temp diff twix the 2 cards or is the top card always 22 degrees hotter?

Just put it on.  The fan on the window isnt hooked up but card 1 is 45C idle and card 2 is 39C

HOWARD70
 I should have been more specific, apologies, when u run the  heaven bench with the side fan on does it help your gpu temps and, are you using a custom fan profile through precision?

Sorry.  Before I had the back of the case and the side panel (with the 240mm fan) off when you saw those temps.  I put the back panel on and the side panel but the side panel fan wouldn't spin.  I took it off and started the computer.  I noticed the power plugs were stopping it from spinning (by pressing against it).  Haven't run unigen yet but I'll test it now.

Edit:  MSI afterburner fan profile is as follows:  
 

Just uninstalled the drivers in safe mode, sweeped the hd for nvidia stuff, and reinstalled.  Unigen runs stable but my scores were lower out of two tests.  I'm in the 2700 range.
 
GPU stats looked like this:
 
Score 1: 2756 Min FPS: 28.8 MAX FPS: 197.9
Score 2: 2757 Min FPS: 30.9 MAX FPS: 198.0 (after cards got warm from first test)
 
 
In order: (Power usage, temp, GPU usage, fan speed, clock speed)
gpu 1: 85% 82C 83% 99% 1215MHz
gpu2:  80% 64C 97% 80% 1215MHz
