While you hold a mainboard in your hands everything looks perfect. But often things start to change once it is installed into a testbed. And unfortunately, Asus Maximus III Formula mainboard is not a lucky exception. We have experienced all sorts of incidents. For example, there was one time when our USB keyboard got disabled in the BIOS when the board was working in nominal mode. The board didn’t hang, we could see the voltages changing, but it wouldn’t respond to any keystrokes. During overclocking experiments the board usually displayed POST status correctly. We didn’t have to use Clear CMOS jumper or button even once, the board would always restart in safe mode on its own and then stop and offer us to load the default settings or correct the existing ones. However, after the next restart all BIOS settings got reset. Of course, this particular configuration hasn’t been yet saved, so I had to reconfigure everything manually again.
