Hi Fiery!
I originally came to ask about X79 quad channel bandwidth, and if that would ever be updated to reflect the quad channel performance. But, before posting here tonight I installed the latest final to check if that had been corrected before I made a thread about it, and I've just ran into another issue after updating to the latest final so I better include that as well.
I do see you've been working on SMART data detection on X79, so that may have something to do with this, the issue is now with a single disk in RAID mode it stalls out during the initial loading at "Scanning RAID devices". This did not happen in the previous version I was using, the older 2.20.1800 version. It's also takes many attempts to kill the process in task manager when this happens.
So I think you need to test with single drives using in RAID mode on X79. Note, I do not have ANY RAID arrays built, only single drives in RAID mode. However, if I reboot and connect a secondary drive before windows loads, or hot-plug one after windows has loaded (Or AIDA64 is stalled), then it only stalls for a short time - maybe 30-45 seconds and eventually loads. I have waited up to five minutes for it with only single drives connected, it never gets past the scanning for RAID arrays. This is with the 3.0.0.3011 Enterprise drivers, if that matters. I have not tested if the same occurs with 11.5 or earlier drivers, but I can if you need me to just let me know!
Now, for my memory issue/request. On X79, using dual channel 128-bit the Cache and Memory Benchmark results are the exact same as using quad channel 256-bit, these results should not be the same or even similar, they should reflect the 256-bit quad channel mode and they do not. Other programs such as SiSandra reflect the memory bandwidth differences as shown below.
So, can this please be corrected in a future update? Surely I can't be the first to notice or ask about this right? It would be great if this could be fixed quickly as I'm doing an X79 review right now, but I know it's probably something you can't just fix overnight or you would have already.
If you need any CPU-z or R/W-Everything dumps, ect. from me just let me know - Thanks!

The RAID thing isn't a huge issue for me right now, but it should be corrected of course. But it would be really awesome if you could get the Cache and Memory Benchmark updated soon, thanks!!
Thanks for all your hard work, love this app!
