From what i read from Massman. Its not the bios, its not the Ab its a problem with the two being compatible. He says another Ab is on its way. but if you want he did post a bios that might work over at HWBot forums. My cards all packed so i won;t be trying. If it works i'll unpack it.

Massman posted a bios for use here: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6187
So you can all stop saying he's 100% evil now, just 99%

Well my lightning turned out to be more like a watch battery. Even after flashing the bios that Massman posted still not worth the price tag. Another one sent back for refund. Something is definitely wrong with these. My return was approved within 10 minutes. So that has to tell you something...

Damm for 5 bills you think they would have taken the time to make sure they were working before they shipped to second party vendors ????

Not an MSI fan and prolly never will be .... this speaks to their quality controll and if the sub it still no excuss IMO as they have to hold their subs to a higher quality standard and spot check to ensure the high standards are being met.

This product was aimed directly at the overclocking community and MSI has effectivly wasted everyones time.....................

Sounds like most people did the RMA mod. Sucks that they put this crap out.
