According to Jacob on twitter, EVGA should get more P67 FTWs next week.

So you think the problem is my ram? 

Well, I tried out every piece of ram (I have 4 sticks) then I reset to defaults, then I enabled raid for my drives, and finally selected XMP Profile 1 and pressed F4 (I only modified the things I listed),  I did this with every stick, but as soon as I hit "Yes" to confirm the board would post 20 (at least it looked like 20), then it would stay like that until I cleared the CMOS.  So I was thinking to myself how I would be happy being able to overclock the cpu (2600K) to 4Ghz and was becoming very frustrated.  I looked at all the settings and saw the dummy overclock option.  SO... I restored defaults, set up raid, and enabled dummy overclock.  I didn't mess with anything else.  It worked.  I'm overclocked to 4Ghz even with EIST and C1E enabled.  I'm wondering, what is wrong here? I've tested the ram and they're perfectly fine, in a few hours I will run memtest, but I doubt it's my memory since 'Dummy OC' got me to 4Ghz stable.  Once again, could someone explain why this is happening? What exactly does 'Dummy OC' do that is different from trying to OC manually?
 
Sorry for the long post, I just find this board to be very interesting, it's powerful, but something is off in the bios. :)

OK another issues I've found is that when the PC is starting up, (right before the Windows login) the Keyboad/mouse lose power then regain it then lose it again several times. Also the monitor loses its signal for a few seconds, then the computer loads into the desktop and it works fine.

Well guys I'm happy to report that board is running well. Windows took 14 mins to install. CPU is idling at 34c so I can't complain. I will be tearing down shortly to finish the actual whole build.

Maybe I will go on and install my FTW before I sell my Asus board.

I also haven't experienced any of the problems that AE AMD others are talking about. I'm not useing the SATA 3 OR usb 3.0, a ssd and no raid. I also disabled a lot of the Intel crapola that's really useless to me and changed my boot orders,ram timings/voltage but have not attempted a overclock yet. I will report back after that.

That sound just like what happen to me, dummy oc worked XMP profile worked, but couldn't change vcore or anything. But I got code 45. Not 20. There is 3 different Bios on the board, I know it wont make to much difference but try all of them. Also What CPU cooler are you using?
To much presure on the socket will cause the same thing. Try reseating the CPU. Take it out, look over the pins. Latch it down and back up a few times. Try the stock cooler. I hope you figure it out. Cause that's  what my whole weekend was like. I got So frustrated and about gave up.
Peace

Just for the fun of it   I could disable 2 cores and get alot higher. This is still air cooling (thermalright TRUE).

How did you over-clock to 4Ghz? Dummy O.C. is a preset to 600Mhz I think. When I enable Dummy O.C. my Multiplier disappeared.

 
I have the 2600K which is default @ 3.4GHz

Okay ... so when you set dummy o.c. to enable you're still able to see and use the multiplier correct?

No, I wasn't able to change the multiplier since it disappeared when I enabled Dummy OC , but :D good news! I followed DJ Ray's advice on adjusting the heatsink (I wiggled it a bit)  Then I go into the UEFI and followed most of what Jacob told us to do for overclocking, the only things I did differently were that I increased the ram voltage to 1.6V from 1.5V but did not change the timings (I left them on default) and I set the multiplier to 45 right off the bat.  I left the cpu voltage to auto for now, but I'll change that for better efficiency. 

Okay, let us know if your able to change the VCore setting with that higher ram voltage, you and DJ Ray may have found something.

Maybe I will go on and install my FTW before I sell my Asus board.

how much? i have one already and i love this board and need to put another one together, was thinking about the ftw myself but with the problems i am hearing i will stick with asus cause even when i had the b2 board it worked right out the box, never have had one problem with this, even when i had the wrong mem it worked like a charm. good luck with all that lol

i apoligize for the rants on the p67 and jacob!, hope it wasent to harsh,  got my p67-sli,  bout that loverboy song......lovin every minute of it!
 had 1 lil issue with boot-up, evga tech chris&brandon got me through it
bout 3 mins.,  oh yea my rom drive was no longer compatible so i stoled my brothers, all is good at the D.O.W.'s house. see ya on the battlefield suckers!! im comin after your tags!

I have a few questions before I pull the trigger on this board and I hope someone can answer them:
 
1 - Can all 6 of the Intel Sata ports be used at one time?  I thought I read that two were shared.
 
2- If I run three GPU's, the PCIe slots will be 8x 8x 8x, correct?
 
3 - Is this board better than the MEIV?  I have the Asus, but I find it quirky.  I had an Asrock Extreme6 which was great, but I want three GPU's, so I thought about this board, any opinions?
 
Thanks
