Ive got the exact same mobo, the earlier model never detected the cpu correctly, but the newer revision (had to return it) worked properly straight out of the box.

Oh...and another thing, setting the ram timings to 'performance' mode actually showed a big difference to me, biggest difference would have to be HD videos in 1080i didn't stutter all the time, they run perfectly, also stuttering between different scene changes on doom3 was eliminated...hmm...
