The G-550 has been RMA'd... And replaced with one of the new units, supposedly with a crap Hong Hua glorified sleeve bearing ("FDB") fan instead of the old Yate Loon Double Ball Bearing.
Fun little detail I just noticed (after struggling to get memtest86 to boot in UEFI mode): The X11SSM-F has such an old BIOS/BMC/ME firmware release that the X10SLM+-F actually has a newer version of the Java IPMI viewer:
X10SLM+-F left, X11SSM-F right.
And the X11 BIOS is easily the buggiest BIOS I've had the dubious honor of dealing with. Not worst (there was this old Phoenix BIOS that started beeping the speaker, which was still a real speaker and not a tiny piezo thingy, whenever the sensors (temperature and fans) page was accessed), but easily the buggiest.
