Sorry, wrong mainboard. But lately I've been a bit careful about BIOS versions and flashing, so probably wouldn't have tried it unless I got a new CPU

Thats one heck of a CINEBENCH R15 score. Over 3x times what my setup can manage...I bet its expensive with 44 threads on 1 cpu?

This interests me, as I do some music and video stuffs, and the DPC latency of the 170 chipsets can cause issues with these tasks.
I still use my 4790k on a z87 chipset because of the very low DPC characteristics, and can't think spending a ton of money on the new 170 chipsets and future 8 core cpus that will cause issues.
The X99 chipsets have very similar DPC characteristics to the z87/z97 chipsets.
I'm just wondering how much an 8 core or 10 core broadwell-E will be.
I'm guessing these don't have unlocked multipliers?

FYI, I got an infinite boot loop after flashing the X99S Krait bios. Tried twice with the same result. Even after getting out of it by clearing cmos and then just changing the boot order & saving resulted in infinite boot loop. Guess there is a price to pay for being first to offer support for new cpu's. Any one else have experience with this?
