I do realize that it says 4.6 GHz for the CPU, but my CPU seems not very comfortable with this 4.6GHz, because my OS seems to appear to randomly crash, resulting in a BSOD.

As indicated on the memory tab, the frequency is running at 933.4MHz - Which is half of 1866, and please, correct me if I am wrong, but is that not to state 1866MHz when it has been set as such in the BIOS? - Or am I missing something here?
As with the SPD tabs, I went ahead and made snippits of them, they all put the frequency of XMP-2000 at 1000MHz - which is again half of what I was expecting to find.
The question that lingers with me now is, what is my memory clock speed. Is it 933MHz or is it 1866MHz?

Depends on your budget. How much are you willing to spend on the new case? 😉

From your image, I see that you're using CPU Level UP to hit 4.6Ghz. Although it is a good feature that comes with the Asus boards, most would agree that it sometimes uses more voltage than necessary. If you're looking to overclock the CPU, you can find some awesome guides on here. Nothing beats a manual OC. 😛

Your memory is running fine. CPU-Z only registers one side of the double data rate. So you always have to take that number and double it.

The MVE is indeed able to run 2000Mhz but from your image I see you picked the XMP profile so that's why it didn't show up. Here's a small and easy guide to get your RAM runnning at it's advertised speed in no time. 😉 A Beginner's Guide To Setting Up RAM Speed

I set up RAID0 on an M5E a couple weeks ago with 2 SSDs and also could not gain access to the Intel RAID Bios for 4hours. I tried an old PS/2 keyboard to bypass USB, switching USB start-up modes, nothing worked except this:
Load all 1501 system bios optimum default values removing any overclock on CPU and memory and resetting out-of-the-box values, F10 out and then re-enter and select SATA-RAID, F10 out again and there should be your RAID BIOS screen. Then hit Ctrl I, enter and set up your volume.
This worked for me, hope you get the same results M8.

Just wondering, which method did you use to flash your BIOS?

Talked to an engineer IT friend and he said reformat each drive on another system if you have access to one using Windows drive utilities back to Simple volumes if they were previously formatted as RAID volumes. And begin RAID set-up from there.
Personally I'm don't see how this would have anything to do with your Option ROM install but just trying my best. 🙂
Good luck, hope it's not your board. 😞

Please make sure that both HDDs are connected to the Intel SATA3 Ports. See if the Intel Matrix Storage Manager shows up after doing the following.
1. Disconnect the power cable from the wall.
2. Remove the battery from the motherboard.
3. Wait 5 minutes.
4. Insert the battery back into place.
5. Enter BIOS.
6. Press F5 to load Optimized Defaults like Bruce mentioned.
7. Redo your RAID settings.
8. Save and exit BIOS.
