My 1 priority is stability. All the bios tinkering is imediatelly folowed by several cycles of memtest86. I did that even before windows was installed.
It runs 3dmark05 perfectly, not to mention all the games a threw at it. It Also ran perfectly as a server at polygons lan party. It had only 1 very small hitch caused by a driver. I was unable to reproduce the error since the rest of the times it just ran perfectly.
I have a few other stress tests that will be aplied like everest for memory. However they will have to wait for a few days since i need one more cable from antec. This mobo has 2 extra power inputs to make sure everything is very stable under all conditions. They are not really mandatory but after a chat with a DFI tech on their forum i decided to use them. Howevr I need 1 more cable since this a modular psu. So i'm holding off all the super stress tests till it comes.
FYI this DFI mobo is an absolute beauty, it will let you change everything and it even has a voltage booster, its all up to you what you want to change. IMO it is simply the best hardcore mobo out there. However due to all the extra options it is not noob friendly, the DFI forum is full of first-timers with huge issues.
