Yeah it doesn't make any sense to me at all, even the original 0402 BIOS supports the 980X so it should work just fine. When I got the board to finally post with the X5677 I found that it had 12xx loaded on one bios, and 1501 on the other, they both should work fine.
Also the X5677 is identical to the X5670, it just has 2 cores disabled. All I get is the CPU error light permanently lit. get the same with the X5670 and the i7 930, it must have something to do with the delid.
