EVGA had me RMA my board after my soundcard was not detected in PCI-e 1x slot 1. The soundcard was detected fine in slot 1 when I had my 2500k in it but as soon as I flashed it the system no longer detected the card and I had to swap slots with both my audio and graphics card. I really wish this would be labelled as an experimental bios, I would not have bought this board if I had known the problems it has with Ivy Bridge cpus.

My computer can't wake back from sleep.
I can't "restart" the computer.  It restarts and restarts and nothing is happening.. i have to shut down, then restart.
was working fine with previous bios.

Why is my cpu always full speed? can't it turn down to 1600MHz on idle like in other motherboard?

CPU will throttle down when you have EIST enabled (Speedstep)

Flashed these BIOS, my 3570k starts working just fine.
 
BIOS locks up when selecting any of the hardware monitor option, I cannot control my case fans, they are spinning at full speed.

The XMP is causing the same issue on my board and I'm using version 4.6.4 which is listed under cpuz. Did you manually input the timings and see if it worked fine? Another fun issue I have with my board is that the vdroop is reversed. Yep! To enable it, I have to disable it.

I think the problem was with my hard drives. the disk drive for some reason is the first drive. so it was reading two disk drives and only have one. it was really weird I could not boot at all kept on getting bsod trying to install windows. so I did some research on my other computer found the jumpers and went back to the other bios.

When is bios 19 going to come out?

 
When they finish it and it works properly.  This will probably be the last BIOS for this board as it appears they are no longer selling them.  So let them taketheir time and make it right before posting it.

Do I hear the sound of hope? Possibly?
 
I'm still having fan controller issues. I've just built my own from scratch at this point.
The CF card is not compatible with readyboost. It is not recognized as a removable device.
