When I first bought this in August, I only had three issues to complain about. However, a recent BIOS update fixed all of my issues and I felt it was worth mentioning in the review. First, the RGB lighting stayed on when off, making it impossible to sleep without turning off the power or closing the jar. side panel. There was a fix in the 1501 BIOS version I was using (yes, 4 revisions back). Windows had an update a few days ago and my RGB fix stopped working! After messing around with the BIOS settings and constantly failing, I decided to update the BIOS to the latest version (3008) and it turns out they had changed the RGB lighting setting so it's a lot it was easier to turn them off. Currently my ErP Ready is set to Enabled (S4+S5) and under Embedded Configuration I have enabled and disabled the RGB lighting in sleep mode, hibernation and soft shutdown. Now when I turn off my computer, the lights go off and I can sleep :) (PS: this also turns off power to all USB ports, so don't charge anything on those ports when using these settings!) The second complaint I had what appeared to be a BIOS error. Every time I turned on my computer, it started twice. First it would light up and the zip code would start flying through the numbers to perform its startup functions, but whatever the AA was, it would stop, shut down and reload. Only then will it boot correctly and log on to Windows. This problem was also fixed by updating my BIOS version to 3008! My final complaint was that the memory I also purchased (which was on their list of qualified memory vendors) was not performing to its full potential. I was only able to get 3066MHz, a step below 3200MHz. Whenever I chose 3200MHz it defaulted back to 2400MHz. However, after upgrading to 3008 I can now set the memory to 3200MHz and so far it seems stable! In the attached screenshot you can see that one of my Dual Channels is running at 1596.2MHz which multiplied by two gives 3200MHz.
