So yeah, updates are probably done for a while. 1102 is doing well for me now anyway.
What else can they update/fix anyway? another month the R3E is obsolete lol
What about a BIOS for the "Rampage Extreme" 775?

Well the rampage extreme (S775, X48) got a small version build in to the board, which is good enough for fast voltage settings and co... maybe you got that board mixed up with something else...
The XPower Dashboard also got it's quirks Bill, nothing is perfect in this world...

Ah, but I had seen some screenshots floating about of BIOSes which had "Refresh Period" (fREF) settings in and a few other bits and bobs. Besides ASUS need to upgrade ALL of their S775 P35/X38/X48 BIOSes to work with Solid State Drives in AHCI/RAID.Quote:

For whatever reason ASUS use a REALLY old Raid ROM (7.5, from the days of the P35). For Solid State drives to work properly you need Option ROM 8.6 or newer.
Gigabyte have updated their boards with these updates, so I think it is about time ASUS did too...
I would also like to see some memory compatibility updates as well 8GB @ 1600FSB would be what I am aiming for.... on air, but this is not possible (according to experts)

I suppose the Intel code is the same for X48 and X58 chipset, as they both use ICH10R SouthBridge.Quote:

Missing QPI adjustments for voltage and frequency and some other ocing options that can be seen on more expensive boards, gigabyte has them so its not chipset limitation.
Does any one have bios 0064 for the rampage III formula or any other bios, that want to share...........
Not meaning to keep dragging on about the X48 platform, but The following bug for QX9650 series Processors when using the manual multiplier needs to be resolved on the RAMPAGE EXTREME.

It appears Asus JUST released BIOS 1405 for the Rampage II Gene - thus far it is only available on their FTP site:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LG...-GENE-1405.zip
Maybe we will get lucky and this will fix that "Cold Boot" bug. I personally have never seen the exact same problem. My board will be Prime95 for 1 hour+ stable while running 3D Mark Vantage over and over again and running a disk performance bench to a USB port (all three test running simultaneously). Every so often it will blue screen or if I connect a USB device (i.e. my CyberPower UPS) it will on rare occasion blue screen within 30 seconds of the connection. Also, sometimes it will quickly power on for less than half a second and then power off after hitting the power switch or using the power supply switch. Once this starts happening it doesn't stop even when power cycling it (letting it sit for 30 seconds w/ the power supply switch off i.e. no power to mobo). The only thing you can do is leave it alone for a while and come back.Quote:
ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LGA1366/RampageII_Gene/RampageII-ASUS-GENE-1405.zip
I have also noticed that the throughput of the ICH10R RAID 1 REALLY sucks on revision 1307! I have two Samsung HD204UI 2TB drives in mirror that get 45-55MB/s sequential read and 95-101MB/s sequential write using CrystalDiskMark.
Prior to adding them to a RAID 1 they got consistent sequential reads of 145MB/s and sequential writes of 155MB/s.
I have modded the Asus BIOS rev. 1307 to include the updated Intel option ROM 9.6.0.1014 and also have the 9.6.0.1014 driver installed in Windows 7 64bit.
:edit:
Looks like the only thing they added was support for new CPUs according to this post on the Forum - [Sharing]BIOS 1405 released November 9, 2010
:edit2:
I just realized my IOH was running at stock voltage. I upgraded to 1405, updated the Intel Option ROM and bumped up the IOH voltage to 1.20616v. I'm now Linpack stable thru 30 itterations. Sorry for the bad mouthing about stability Asus, it appears that all sorts of weird things happen to the Gene after a blue screen with too low or too high of IOH voltage, including after a power cycle. In fact the only way I was able to get my system stable again was to either leave it unplugged for a few hours or power it off during POST so it would load the defaults due to a "bad OC" and then F1 into the BIOS and re-apply my OC settings with a save and exit.
Asus, shame on you! :mad:
You posted officially today BIOS 1102 for R3E that has been circulating in the wild for more than a month, without correcting the cpu temp bug.
You only put a dirty patch on it, as it is well known from day one that 1102 give a cpu temp 8-10 C° higher than cores with a reaction time to changes like a bradypus. :(

bingo13,
Could you give up some detail on what exactly has changed in the bios releases Asus has done for all the LGA1366 boards in the last couple days?
I've been have CPU temp issues, as outlined here: https://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx...Language=en-us
And all Asus support does is tell me to RMA the board. I bought 2 brand new Rampage III Gene's. And they replies was to RMA, so I got board #2.. same problem. Was told to RMA again, that board #3 will do the trick.
To me it seems there is a big communication problem between Asus support techs, and the engineers, and what they may be working on and/or fixing. It seems they don't even inquire anything about your particular board.. and just give you general things to try, and assume there are no issues with anything.
The lates bios fixed my problems of having malfunction cpu temp readings. Now they are just off by 20c (20c lower then core temp), rather then getting stuck at 0, negative numbers, or just plain getting stuck. What bothers me so much is the Asus techs that tell me to keep RMAing boards, when it's obvious they didn't look into anything with the engineers. If they had, they'd know they were working on fixes for CPU temp issues.
edit: if you have any connections with the bios engineers, what about asking them to add a field in the bios for CPU temp offset. make it so people can offset their readings +/-30c or something like that. then they don't need to worry about deltas too much.
I had a bios with the TREF value 0022 or something , hopefully I still have it somewere...Quote:

John
I too have been a long time ASUS fan, and just got one of the newer R3F's with a 950, and I'm just about ready to throw it out the window, it drops my SSD on the SATA-III controller every couple reboots without rhyme or reason and usually the only way to get it back is clear cmos, shut down, start up and reconfigure the bios, but you can only enable AHCI on one controller at a time, i.e. standard sata2 or sata3, this is rediculous, I have never had a board so buggy in 20 years, I can't even overclock for snot on it without the marvel controller dropping the drive. I'm thinking I might be calling EVGA soon... unless someone else can recommend a good X58 1366 board... I don't want to switch teams because I have always had very ood results with asus products but this thing is aweful.
I could have sworn I saw some bench tests of the SATA3 controller used on the asus boards. The intel chipset SATA2 controller is faster. I'd just use that and not bother with it (assuming you have no problems with sata2 controller).Quote:

Bingo,
Can you please let the ASUS BIOS engineers know that we must have QPI PLL control on such expensive motherboards?
It's really disgusting that it is not available on my Rampage 3 Extreme.
I put my CPU into a friend's x58a-ud3r, a board that's about $170 less expensive, and my CPU was unleashed. Upping the QPI PLL from 1.1v to 1.16v allowed me to run my chip at the EXACT same settings, frequency wise, with only 1.28v. It takes my R3E 1.38v to achieve this.
The cooling difference is phenomenal with a full tenth of a volt less required on core voltage.
This is a make or break for me to jump ship on ASUS to Gigabyte. It needs to be manually controllable.
I don't want to see any responses that this is QPI/DRAM voltage, because it's NOT.
My Gene II was having similar issues once I OC'ed my W3520 above 3.9 Ghz. I had to raise my IOH voltage just a tad from the stock 1.11341 to 1.20616 and it solved my problem. Before I raised the voltage, my board dropped my Blu-Ray off the jmicron controller all the time. I had to power off the machine the next time it tried to post to get it to load the defaults due to a 'bad overlook', save my previous settings in the BIOS and exit.Quote:

hey what about Maximus III Extreme BIOS? no updates yes?
Yeah I tried a couple different voltages and finally got the ram to run at ~2133MHz (it's corsair dominator gt and supposed to be spec'd at 2000@1.65v) and that in and of itself has taken forever, only to have it boot up and as soon as windows boots it just restarts. I think the cpu was only running at like 3.33GHz or something. I dunno, I think the gene or exreme would have been a better buy, but I'm really looking at the EVGA offerings. Maybe there will be another bios update in another 3-4 months that will help stabilize this board, but for me just getting it to run all of my hardware _at spec_ as opposed to on 'auto' has taken forever and I've yet to get a stable O'C'. I must have just a bad combo of hardware or somethingQuote:

1.82v = x.xv QPI
1.84v = x.xv QPI
etc.
I asked ASUS support for this information and got a very bad reply:
This is a key overclocking value and we need to know this information to prevent providing too much voltage to QPI PLL!!!Quote:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
I am afraid to say that I am not allowed to give this kind of value.
I think you can operate according to the spec and manual of your CPU.
Or contact with Intel for consultation.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please contact with me if you have any other questions.
Best Regards,

ASUS Customer Service
If you could supply the full table of values or a method of calculating the values all the way from 1.2 to 2.0v it would be excellent.
Thanks!

Hello,
Overclocking options are provided in the BIOS for experienced users to utilize in order to overclock their systems to their maximum potential. Asus does not provide any support whatsoever for overclocking as this can potentially cause damage to your hardware. We do not provide tables/charts or indexes of any kind to facilitate this overclocking. There is no false advertising involved here. Yes, the board has many options for overclocking, however we do not claim or guarantee that we will educate, instruct, or provide detailed explanations for how to do this. Your best bet would be to visit the more popular overclocking forums on the web, such as overclock.net, for advice on overclocking your board and what various options in the BIOS change or affect.

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
I was looking for an explanation as to how the board behaves with this secret adjusting of voltage, unseen to the user, so that I could use the BIOS correctly.
Normally this is a manual control that you can set in BIOS. It is on all EVGA, and Gigabyte i7 boards, including the exceptionally inexpensive UD3R. Unless Bingo can come through here, I'll likely be switching to a Classified 3, and selling off my R3E.
This all started when I built a new PC for a friend on the UD3R, and it took my CPU with my same memory to 4.5GHz, while my R3E struggles for 4.2GHz. Not only did it run my chip faster, it also did it with the same voltage.
With evga classy i could do 4.5 24/7 stable and 225 bclk.. R3E goes weird on me @ 215 Bclk.. if qpi pll is the setting that will take me over 215 and further.. then i want the info ! I dont need a automatic pilot.. i want full control of the car i drive >_<
Said that i still love this board since it feels more stable then the classy for me.. only <215 bclk
Where you running the same hardware with the Classie ? You mentioned the classy went sometimes spooky on you, yet claim it stable ? Really 4.5ghz with 225Bclock and 20 multi ?... 215 with 21x for 4.5GHz, maybe you got things mixed up ?
http://hostthenpost.com/uploads/571a...1da9ee03b3.jpg
Yes stable.. and yes to same hardware..
Sorry i wasnt very clear in my writing maybe.. Stable @ 4.5 yes with 215 bclk.. could boot up to 225 bclk but could not get it stable.... but i think that was couse of my lack in clocking skills
Edit: oh yeah the classy went spooky on me indeed @ 225 Bclk..same as R3E does @ 215
I expect ASUS fix BUGS in BIOSes for all boards which were fixed on other boards.Quote:

This issue STILL remains in the Rampage Extreme (X48 and supposedly ASUS' premier 775 board).
Another issue is that they updated the RAID option ROM to 8.7.0.1007 for the P5E3 and P5E3 Pro and Maximus Formula, but they did not bother with other X38/X48 motherboards.
It is things like this which annoy me with ASUS.
If ASUS were bothered to resolve the last few niggling issues with the Rampage Extreme motherboard I would say that it is without the best motherboard I have ever owned, for now it is only among the best and is very good, only let down by fundamental bugs ASUS know about and more annoyingly already know how to resolve!

What's the meaning of this thread? :confused:
Is it to give us the feeling that ASUS really cares and is going to fix all our BIOS problems. I've been in contact with ASUS for 2 years trying to let them fix the problems with the ASUS Rampage Formula and add some BIOS features that should have been there from the first release BIOS for that board.
After 2 years and little to no progress I gave up on them and they are probably happy that I don't bother them anymore.
We're using the latest unofficial 0001 BIOS with updated option ROM's added by SoLoR.
Soon every board is going to have it's unofficial BIOS that doesn't help you any further. :D
@JohnZs
Here's the unofficial BIOS for your ASUS Rampage Extreme board: ASUS Rampage Extreme BIOS 0002
This unofficial BIOS has DRAM Refresh Period (tREF) and Special 133 Mode (I don't know what it's supposed to do or when to use it).
That's the kind of support they give you. You ask for an ASUS Rampage Formula BIOS and they give you an ASUS Rampage Extreme BIOS. :rofl:
Then you paid attention and realized I'm only asking for details on the behavior of the board so I can operate it correctly. Learn to read and comprehend, or do I need to go over to you and read the entire thread to you? :shakes:Quote:

Forget the table, just make it an adjustment! I get so many Gigabyte board owners jumping into my thread saying "You need to lower that CPU PLL" or, "You will get better results with a lower PLL". These boards are far too expensive to skimp on things like QPI PLL voltage, or less than stock voltage adjustments for CPU PLL, Vcore, QPI, etc. when their direct competitors (i.e. Gigabyte and E-VGA) offer these adjustments. If Gigabyte offered a mATX in the LGA1366 package similar to the Rampage Gene I'd be jumping ship.Quote:

I'm not sure what the Special 133 Mode should do because I don't have an ASUS Rampage Extreme board and I never received a BIOS with that feature added for the ASUS Rampage Formula.
There were two features that we requested to add in the BIOS. The first one was DRAM Refresh Period (tREF) and the second one better stability at high FSB (450->500MHz). The goal was to run our Q9650 at 4.5GHz stable.
To do that we need a BIOS with a strap change at FSB 450MHz or something else that changes at FSB 450MHz and that's probably what the Special 133 Mode is going to do.
Nobody with that BIOS knows how or when to use it and because we don't have a BIOS for the ASUS Rampage Formula with that feature I can't figure it out. :(
If someone from ASUS reads this maybe he can try to find out what went wrong and why we ASUS Rampage Formula users never received such a BIOS. :shrug:
133 mode killed my REX :p board powered down after save bios and never came up again... Tried a dozen things (swapping bios chips, CPU's, batteries etc...) to resurect her... better not touch it :)
Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee... It was meant to use at FSB 450-500MHz not at FSB 600MHz+. :rofl:Quote:

Hey did you just burp little doggy? So why are you repeating to me what Asus support has been saying to you ? :rofl::ROTF:Quote:

I checked out the Rampage III Gene manual off Asus' support site and was pleasantly surprised to see it defining a CPU LED "Normal (Green)" voltage range of 1.20375-1.89475v. It appears that Asus is listening to our requests, its unfortunate that they haven't released a BIOS update for the Rampage II Gene to allow for < 1.81v CPU PLL. Perhaps this is a hardware limitation of the board? It would be nice to hear an official statement from Bingo as to if there are plans to add lower CPU PLL voltage to the Gene II in addition to where Asus stands on the QPI PLL adjustment for all their ROG Intel boards.Quote:

Hopefully these ranges are not just for monitoring but also mean that the BIOS can be adjusted within this range...
:edit: found a statement in the manual about the CPU PLL setting...
I see why everyone keeps telling me to lower my CPU PLL on my Gene II. The lowest setting of 1.81v is already just .19v to where the manual says you are getting into dangerous territory.Code:3.3.23 CPU PLL Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU PLL voltage. The values range from 1.20575V to 2.05375V with a 0.01325V interval.
Setting the CPU PLL voltage over 2.00V may damage the CPU.
maybe some updates were cool before weekend bingo13
We are waiting for...:)Quote:
