    I think wankel was talking about the M14x r2, not the r1. Are you having issues with your system not being stable or something? Best saying to go by is if it isn't broke don't try to fix it. ;)

    I would recommend A05. I heard the A08 locks out SATA III options and wouldn't recommend it (not 100% sure). The A08 was released for the newer M14x R1 which had the same 555m but was an update version.
