FYI:
I struggled a few days with this board. I was using hardware programmer and desoldered/soldered the chip a few times.
My final verdict is that it has some kind of BootGuard. No matter what BIOS version I tried (with or without ES microcodes) the board always stopped on POST code 635A, which is I believe stands for CPU error.
Another possibility is that the board is faulty, because I couldn't try it with retail CPU. But it did not fry any of my ES CPUs (which is common for faulty motherboards in my experience) and has no bent pins.
