Hi Raja, I went into the UEFI and set all of the overclock related stuff to defaults and then did a Save and Exit. All I did in AI Suite was try the one-click overclocking using the four-way optimization. So, I believe AI Suite did things behind the scenes and I didn't know what it did so...

Can someone help an idiot? I was messing with the AI Suite 3 on my MVI Hero and picked one of the CPU presets (4.2 GHz). I'm having some stability issues in Windows 8 now (odd since temps are more than fine) and want to return to stock. I set everything in the UEFI back to stock but AI Suite 3...

If you are in the US, Newegg has the Hero and Extreme in stock right now.

Fair enough. :-) I see Newegg got the Hero and Extreme in so I just ordered from there. Amazon's ship date of 6/28 was worrying me.

@Raja Any update on when we can expect the Maximus VI Hero to land in the US? Last date I heard was 6/17.

My Amazon order for the Hero was placed on 6/2. They sent me an email last night saying they had talked to Asus and expect to get stock sometime between 6/28 and 7/9. Asus support said they were told that the first shipment of Hero and Maximus VI Extreme boards have an ETA of 6/17. They also...

Amazon notified with an anticipated ship date between 6/28 and 7/9 for my Maximus VI Hero. I'm so bummed! Shame on me for ordering everything else for my Haswell build already, I may not get to try it out until after the 30 day return window has passed.

Ordered my Maximus VI Hero from Amazon on Sunday. Order status still says they don't know when it will ship. I talked to Asus pre-sales about getting an english version of the manual (no dice) and also asked if they knew when the Hero should arrive in the US. He said the latest emails they...

I've been using Corsair RAM exclusively in my systems for nearly 5 years. Corsair RAM kicks ass because they are like a best friend: rock solid and completely dependable.

I got the more expensive arm (LX?) for this reason...NeoFlex wasn't very flexible in terms of positioning.

My latest one is like that...not perfect, no, but I think I'll probably keep it. May do the electrical tape mod if it really bothers me. TZ

Thanks for the write-up, looks like an improvement over the original. I may try this as well if I end up being stuck with the 2005FPW. TZ

Sounding all too familiar. :) Good luck with your next one.

Ah, I have not noticed the gradient issue. Issues #2 & #3 are the ones I was referring to, and I'd say they are the same...a result of the PVA technology.

Which weakness is that? I'm "evaluating" the Gateway right now, my only complaint is how it seems to crush dark details when looking head on. Seems that is intrinsic to the panel type though.
