Yep, you beat me to it. I just got email from MSI

took them 1 week, let us know the fixes. My 875Neo is in the box being RMA'd. Developed a on problem. It didn't want to stay on...

Shuts down after a few seconds of booting. I think a cap is damaged or the last flash bios I got was tested by monkies.

LOL ! :D

I think my last RMA I got back from them was repaired and tested by monkies too ! hehe

I've flashed to the 1.8 but I really don't have much to compare it too. I've hardly used the MSI since I bought it 2 months ago ! hehe

I'ts running fine, I cant get it stable over 250mhz 1:1 but not sure if its the cooling or what.

does it default to cas 2.5?

im still on the 1.32b bios...nothing better has come out since

[Kunaak]

good news on my end.

it gives full control of the cas latency under all overclocking conditions :)

it gets higher ram speeds by about 3-4 mhz for both sets of my ram :)

it overclocks the same levels as before :)

I can get more bandwidth now, with the turbo-ultra options finally usable again, another plus :)

Quirks.

my kingston HyperX 3500 can't run anything slower then cas 2...
cas 2.5 defaults to cas 2...
weird, but I'll take it ;)

[gokickrocks]

so its better than 1.32b? hell must have frozen over, cause it seemed like forever

i now have a reason to flash my bios

[Major]

I'll bet your a happy camper right now Kunaak !! :D

Finally a Bios that will show the potential of the Neo mb !

[Kunaak]

well, if this BIOS isn't the one, it's about as close as they are gonna get ;)

[JeffPH]

nice one kunaak :)

[DoGMaN]

Oooooooooooooooooh I'm all excited now!!! I'm going to go flash and see if it helps. :D

[JeffPH]

mine can run cas 2 now but when i use 5:4 at 270 fsb :( still cant run 2-5-2-2 at 200 fsb using corsair XMS PC3500 C2 :( weird .....

Wow!! What a change a new bios can make! Much much faster than before, full control over all memory timings. I almost hate to say this, but good job MSI. (Its about f'n time)
