I just completed maintenance window... I updated to S18 BIOS and upgraded to Xeon W3680 CPU. Coming from BloomField 965, I expect to be quite happy.

I do not use the TRIM BIOS as my SATA based drives are WD Black RAID0 pair that run from Marvell controller, and my optical drives are on the Intel Controller. My OS drive is a PCIe RevoDrive3.

EDIT: I can build with different IRST module versions if S18 is that slow with TRIM maybe we have found the limit of this system. Unfortunately I cannot test TRIM feature myself, so I need tester(s).

NOTE: CPU upgrade is amazing. If anyone is still on BloomField, get the W3670 or W3680 for this board. Both are great bang for the buck and make the x58 chipset a dream. My new cpu went from 3.33GHz (25x133) to 4.62GHz (22x210) memory is 3x4GB ddr3-2000MHz (@2100Mhz). OMG it's fast!
