UEFI updates for the Sabertooth are coming - undergoing qualification now.
-Raja
Any update yet on if we likely to see any BIOS updates (for all models not just the Crosshair)to fix the core-unlock stability problems with Phenom II's? The recent 0705 release for the M5A99X for example just added new CPU support. There was talk earlier that the problem was caused by the BIOS being focussed more towards Bulldozer.
The core unlocking stability stuff is not something we can solve on our end per se - its part of the AGESA base code, so really down to AMD.Quote:

Im asking as there are many Sabertooth 990FX being advertised on ebay for sale.
Would the warranty on these be Asus responsibilty?
Unfortuntely for some of us, we have no distribution in our country for such products, so we have to turn to ebay for this.............
Thanks for quick reply. I guess this is unlikely to be fixed then as the focus will be to get us to upgrade to Bulldozer.Quote:

Finally got around to buying a 9-series board. ...for a customers build, but oh well. M5A97, wonderful value board. I wanted to say how much I love the EFI bios, boot times are reduced and the bios is very responsive. I almost can't deal with my M4A89TD Pro/USB3 now... XD
bingo was supposed to send me an M5A99X Evo to try out a few months ago knowing how financially strapped I am but the package never arrived. I'll get around to buying one eventually it seems, because I run crossfire and I want bulldozer to work well.
Sabertooth boards were made for stability, so I think that BIOS updates will never be so frequent as you'll see on other motherboards...Quote:

Raja, will be in your best some thread about Llano mobo support? Thanks :)
Hi all,
I've got some serious issues with my rig, hope you can help me out. Yesterday my rig failed to boot from a cold start with a blue screen of death occuring in the middle of the boot. Restarted, then set back everything to default. Then booted again but same happens. Then removed the memory, tried with one module, then the other, the same happens. Then on the next bootup the mobo came up with the overclocking failed EM and it reset everything, including my RAID settigns, so I had some restarts again with tinkering on this but again it constantly failed to boot. It was behaving strangely in the BIOS as it showed only the hard drives that were on SATA ports 5-6.
Anyway after the 9th or 10th reboot the board just failed to post with the VGA LED lighting red. Took out the VGA, put it into an other PCI-E slot, the smae again. Powers up the ventillators to max then shuts them down and no screen is coming up et all. Then put in my spare VGA (X800GT), the vry same thing happens, VGA LED lights, no POST, no picture et all, fans spin down after revving up to max.
What is going on!?? Any suggestions?
Config is in my sig.
Hi
I just have the M5A97 BOARD
I search all the bios options to find any way to make my pc start from any keyboard key like my asrock 970 extream 4 or my P7P55D-E PRO
both have this option but M5A97 DIDNOT
it so important for me

Raja, what is the changelog on the 705 Bios you posted for the sabertooth? Is there a posibility to change the Chassis Fan Profile to a lower % than 60? Thanks.
Change-log will be up when uploaded on the ASUS site (should be up within a couple of days). If you need to see the change-log sooner, check one of the other 990FX boards as it will be the same AFAIK. No idea on the fan control you can flash to 0705 and have a look.

Just do it thanks for ur supportQuote:

The biggest quirk was the inability to use TurboV to raise HTRef >280. Don't get me wrong, I could set it higher, but
the actual clock didn't raise. This was verified by CPU-Z and actual performance tests...
The other thing was it appeared to be running my ram in single channel mode, again as shown by CPU-Z (vers 1.58).
I didn't bother to performance test the mem, but I wasn't able to achieve the same clocks anyway, so I flashed back to 0402.
Overall, I just had alot strange things happening on Thuban with 0705, including the need for hard CMOS resets a couple times.
On a bright note, I backed up 0402 on my bios flash drive before I installed 0705 and when I flashed it back
it kept all my OC settings and everything is back to normal. :up:
Thanks....... Dave

I had same issue with single channel, but it was due to the Bios only seeing one stick of RAM. Then after a reboot it was back to 2 sticks. When in windows, I had CPU-Z showing one of the sticks of RAM having a 10.8.10 24 timing for the XMP profile. The sticks are identical. After a couple reboots, it was finally normal and has been stable. I am only running 3.8ghz/4.2ghz(turbo) on stock voltages.
That's not bad Jay, but you know me... I don't use Turbo and I tend to push things farther than what's reasonable sometimes. :p:Quote:

Like I said, I only played with 0705 for a few hours and the results on a locked chip wern't very good.
Nice clocks BTW for stock v's! I hope 0705 holds up for ya!
Personally though, I'll stick with 0402 on this 1055 for the time being.... :D

0705 UEFI has updated AGESA. AMD are taking things further into the realms of Bulldozer tuning from here on in.

Hello,
We have news about the Crosshair V Extreme ? :)
I tried some HT Ref OCing and had same issues with the RAM. I was going to see if I could do 300+.Quote:

Edit, I moved RAM to different slots and 300ht Ref was no issue.
