Oh sorry I should have mentioned that my testing was done with standard 
length cables and there was still all the problems. I just got the 36 
inch for the final placement of the drives, and there seems to be no 
change when I switch the cables.

I'm glad that it looks like running it at 100 will solve this. Thanks 
for the replies. I was probably going to go through all the hassle of 
getting an Asus board to replace this because I was almost certain it 
was hardware, but I don't think it's worth it as long as this works :)
