Arnie, anything on the latest BIOS? I've not seen any down sides as of yet. 1902 seemed to be my sweet spot for performance, not sure about stability as it was a while back.

I stuck at 2101 on the RVE with Haswell E...later BIOS started Broadwell E compatibility which I never needed so I played safe and never tried any of the 3xxx series.
I'm on a RV10E now and sticking on 0901...despite newer BIOS claims of faster boot...because I'm stable and I don't need to boot faster...:o
Do you recommend getting the RV10E over a RVE? Also I think the RVE boot time is appalling.
Boot time for RVE is 25-35 seconds, that's not disaster.
I must remember this for 2101 BIOS. If you say he is best for Haswell-EX.
Than I will install him later, for now my RVE serve me nice, if problems show up (I hope not with all my heart) than I will choose RVE10.
I would be much happier with RVE10TH but if RVE serve me well better to think about R6E. Rampage V Edition 10 is board when you build computer for 5 years and
when for long time and when you plan to look motherboard next 5 years, than RVE10TH is best choice. She is like iPhone "S" compare to iPhone.:)
I like these new CORSAIR Dominator Platinum Special Edition but I would freaked if they are not compatible with Skylake-EX, they should be even on QVL list as special kit.
They should be tested by ASUS and for Haswell-EX, Skylake, Kaby Lake and Skylake-EX.
But I don't expect better performance than any DDR4 or maybe even behind GSkill Trident Z except if CORSAIR search for best modules on market.
RVE only confirm that I will buy in future only Rampage motherboards.
Rampage Gene is option as well. I had some problems on beginning, they gone, I hope they will not back.
I think on my place most people would finish with RMA without testing completely and when you back working hardware RMA is usually not working.
I'm glad I find solution and give time to motherboard and I hope she will stay stable with newer BIOS because NVMe.
