http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...-ASUS-0603.zip


Beta BIOS Releases Coming shortly as of 11/10/2010-
P6T series (980x Multi Drop, Microcode, Memory)
Rampage III Formula (0505 released with memory enhancement below)
Rampage III Extreme (1102 released with memory enhancement below)
Several recent X58 boards (memory enhancements for non-recognition at POST with new PCS/Micron/Hynix ICs)



If your board is not on the list, it does not mean we are not looking at improvements, just that we have not reached beta release and validation test process.

did you have an beta bios for ASUS Maximus III Extreme

Thanks Gary - hope P6T6 WS Revolution still getting improvements as well ? :)

Thx for New Bios :up:

Have Asus actually updated the Option ROMs? Using a Intel RAID for SATA ROM of version 8.9.1 or a Marvell 88SE6121 Option ROM of 1.1.0.L70d is NOT cool when some of the latest versions are 9.6.0.1014 and 1.1.0.L73, respectively. :down:

Absolutely. As soon as I have a firm schedule on the other boards, we will post up the estimated release dates.

I want the R2E v1910 beta :(

My xeon is still capped at 3.66 due to the locked uncore.

Please, someone share it :up:

Yes, as the new ROM versions are qualified they will be updated.

subscribed......... any love for the ASUS Rampage Extreme?

Thanks bingo13,

RE: P6T Deluxe V2

1. Please add CPU PLL Voltage adjustments lower than 1.80V. ie. 1.1V and higher - this is handy for folks using subzero temperatures

2. Please unlock cpu_tweaker so we can change RAM values inside windows OS

3. Many folks have been asking for 980X support, but i presume this is already
on your list?

cheers in advance :up:

since someone mentioned in this thread, unlocking cpu tweaker support for P6T6 WS Rev would be nice - last time I asked Asus said specifically won't be unlocking it for cpu tweaker support - hope that stance has changed :)

hi bingo13

a friend of mine says asus has an newer beta bios as 0901 for MIIIE is this right??

and pls can you add


ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer


regards

2. Set default uclk frequency to 2133MHz for i7 970.
????

Any chance you can update the 0006 bios for P6T Deluxe to support i7-980? TIA!

Its awesome to see Asus reaching out to customers like this. It really raises the bar in terms of how I feel about the company.

Subscribe.

p.s. It would be nice to see the Rampage II Gene added to the list. I realize you just released 1307 a month and a half ago and may not yet have a beta yet.

:bows::bows:THX Bingo13.....

I have asked R&D to look into this board and a couple of others. There is a holiday in Taiwan for the next week so things will be slower than normal. As soon as I have word on this and other boards, I will update the posts.

A bios that supports lower then 1.8 cpu pll for the P6X58D-E would be awesome.

This is mildly off topic but it would be awesome if you could ask R&D if/will there be an update to the Asus OC Station. It has a few bugs that have been posted in the forums but no update since 2009/10/05 and was quite an expensive product. The functions it offers are awesome but having to load the profile at every restart kinda sucks.

I 2nd this for the Rampage II Gene, users around the forums are getting very high overclocks undervolting the CPU PLL below the default 1.8v. Also, QPI PLL isn't even an available voltage to adjust???

Here is an example of someone turning down the CPU PLL and getting a 4400Mhz OC on a i7 920. Its from a thread I have going about my heat issues

Originally Posted by famish99

Hopefully you can find another solution to your heat issues.

Here is a very short LinX run with ET6 installed to show current settings.

@bingo13:
I've seen people asking couple of times for option to Disable HPET in Rampage III Extreme BIOS, so is there going to be one, or is there a way I'm not aware of to disable it now?

Yes, please give us the option to disable HPET on the Rampage III Extreme.

I've tried 2 Asus X58 boards with my OCZ Blade DDR3 2000 Memory modules and would NEVER POST with 1N or 2N , It only POSTs with 3N

I've had a Gigabyte EX58-Extreme before that ran just fine with 1N

!

any news bingo13?

nice stuff from asus. I agree with the earlier posted about the onboard controller bios's please on my board (if not already the case) make sure the intel/jmicron/marvell are all latest thanks. p7p55d-e

Hello! Any change to get beta BIOS for R2E? Adding new features eg. Loadline calibration for DDR3 (like R3E) or performance improvement for stock settings? Thanks!

asus wake up :help:

I have some more questions as well into if removed features can get readded.

Features lost on p7p55d bios between original release and now on p7p55d-e.

Rank interleave
Channel interleave
Jmicron ide/ahci mode
Jmicron bootrom on/off
Fast MRC on/off

please readd thanks.

I've extracted ACPI AML from RampageIII-Extreme-ASUS-0602.ROM, and disabled HPET, in attached archive you will find both .aml format, that must be replaced in original BIOS, and .dsl file to see(use any text editor) the modifications. I also commented the mods for easy understanding...
Do this at your own risk...

Have fun!

It's all about lowering the average DPC latency, which is a goal when doing extremely low latency audio recording. Gigabyte offers the option, and most every DAW system integrator is using gigabyte boards because of it and the TI firewire chipsets they offer.

I agree about the quality of the fireware chip, I always prefer to spend few more bucks and get a good stuff(not the case of my P6T7 WS SC that include a VIA cheap crap chip), problem is that OEM's never understand this and try to monetize every single penny...
And as final note, I'm stoned when I see top products still including PS2 crap instead a more useful port like serial(if they still want to get a extra use of Super I/O chip), common how long we have to wait to get rid of that?

---

Since I really don't know what you are talking about with your files above, I'm going to have to hope Asus decides to add the feature for us. :(

There is no secondary lan on the Rampage III Extreme.

Thanks for your time, but don't put too much time in it. It really isn't worth your time. If Asus doesn't add it I can live with my latency, I'm just hoping they see the value in giving us the option. They could sell a few more boards to the audio community.

The only thing I disable is the on board audio. Everything else I use including USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB

Noted.

To everyone, thank you for the comments and suggestions. R&D is back to work after the national holiday and I will be in Taiwan shortly also. I have listed the current requests and we should have further BIOS' released shortly. I will provide updates this weekend.

OK, I did a test for you based on 0704 version, now if built in HDA is disabled, HPET goes disabled too.

http://rapidshare.com/files/40223463...t-off.zip.html

Have fun until you will get an official version with this function supported.
Lemme know how goes.

Thanks, I'll try it tonight when I get home.

I hope Asus gives us the option to disable HPET, I don't want to be begging you to customize every new bios they release. :D

I would like to thank bingo13, Jeff Flowerday and KaminoReal for the information provided. For a long time I have been very interested in which 1156 socket motherboard, either Asus P7P55D Deluxe or equivalent Gigabyte, would be best for audio work (DAW). I have not checked the audio forums lately and was unaware that the HPET would effect DPC latency.

Kamino, do you know if disabling HDA (high definition audio) on the Asus P7P55D Deluxe also disables the HPET? Are you aware of any tools that will display whether the HPET is enabled or disabled?

bingo13, I second Jeff Flowerday's recommendation to add support for disabling the HPET in the bios. Can this be done for the P7P55D Deluxe? I also agree with Jeff that many audio guys would like to have this option.

Jeff, can you provide the URL to the audio forum thread that discusses the HPET issue?

thanks to all.

Just google HPET "DPC Latency", there are posts all over the place.

I've personally disabled HPET on a gigabyte board and seen the latency drop dramatically, so you can take my word for it.

There are many ways to check if HPET is enabled or not, I'll show the most easy one:
Install Lavalys Everest Corporate version.
Run the program and right click the lower bar window, select ACPI Tool, and Find HPET(use find button), then double click on _STA entry(Status) if it returns:
Dec: 15 Hex: 0x0000000F - is enabled
Dec: 11 Hex: 0x0000000B - is enabled but not visible
Dec: 0 Hex: 0x00000000 - is disabled

Or you can go into device manager and choose view "Show Hidden Devices". Expand system devices and you'll see "High precision event timer" listed there.

Bingo13, Is there any chance to get advanced RMA for the R3E ?
my 3rd PCIe slot does not work + I cant save BIOS settings. I always get NEW CPU installed msg and have to F2 to load with default settings.

Any help will be appriciated

Well, HPET definately disappeared with your custom bios but the latency went through the roof, too the point where it wouldn't register in monitoring software and machine became very groggy. So there has to be more to disabling it.

Thanks for trying though!!

OFFICIALLY 0704 R3E BIOS:

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/LG...-ASUS-0704.zip

jo the "old" Maximus III Extreme 0901 is official today

I was expected this behavior since, IMHO, a correct configured HPET should reduce the latency and not add more...
There could be many reasons for your latency bug, better wait for an official reply from ASUS, if that will never happen, I'll look deeper in this, and maybe we will find a better solution...

BTW what was the operating system you tried this?

---

Windows 7 x64.

In theory the HPET should reduce latency, but on Gigabyte boards disabling it greatly decreases latency for some reason. I've seen it first hand on a UD5 I had for a period and on my curreng G45 HTPC board.

Jeff,

According to my research turning off HPET does reduce DPC latency in DPC Latency Checker but if you compare DawBench runs under Reaper you have better performance with HPET enabled.

Of course it will be dependent on how the DAW software implements things. I don't use Reaper.

Only section 1B of BIOS and translations changed, comparing to 0702. Probably some fixes.

can asus do somethin about needin pci-e @ 215 for high blk
my rexII needed only 106 pci-e for 228blk
and i cant clock my cpus as good as my rexII:shrug:

any new bios bingo13?

Any chance that we will see a beta bios for the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, that supports 980x and disables the multi dropping feature?
I hit a wall while I was ocing my cpu @ 4.4 GHz with 6C/12T enabled.
Multi started dropping, going back my ocing.

That's going ot come down to luck of IOH I'm afraid. Some don't like going high BCLK with QPI fast mode engaged. I've got two boards that fall over at 215~219 BCLK for fast mode and that's with a Gulftown that POSTs over 225 BCLK on other boards without fuss. A lot of it is IOH, some of it is down to more work needed at the hardware layer on boards to circumvent early limitations or at least improve clocking margins if even by a small degree.

Updated 07/13/2010 -
Rampage III Extreme

BIOS 0860

1. Added additional memory enhancements
2. Enable official support for ROG Expander Board
3. Improved 3D performance at stock settings

http://www.mediafire.com/file/gi2zr0...-ASUS-0860.rar
Note - Uncore setting will now scale with BCLK settings when set to Auto. Manual settings will be required when running BCLKs over 220 to ensure stability and improved BCLK rates.

Note - LN2 Modes might need to be adjusted to improve cold clocking capabilities. Auto = LN2 mode 2, setting to LN2 Mode 1 will result in potentially better overclocking below -140C. This is dependent upon CPU quality and cooling.

BETA BIOS 9124

1. Added 2D SpeedBooster option for GulfTown owners
2. Enable proper memory table reporting in 3rd party applications
3. Improved 3D performance
4. Tweaked LN2 Mode settings

http://www.mediafire.com/file/zjm3md...-ASUS-9124.rar

Note - 2D SpeedBooster option is for non-3D applications like SuperPI, WPrime, and other programs that benefit from enabling CPUMicroCode ignore flags in the BIOS. Enabling this option will improve 2D application scores but will decrease 3D performance. We highly suggest disabling this feature for any 3D applications or benchmarking.

Note - This BIOS is still in Beta state and is released for those needing additional performance in 2D applications. We will have a final qualified version with improved memory and 3D performance shortly.



Beta BIOS Releases in Validation Testing as of 7/12/2010-
Maximus III Extreme (Audio, Memory)
P6T series (980x, Microcode, Memory)
P6T6 WS Revolution (Microcode)
P6X58D Premium (Microcode, Memory)
P7P55 series (enhancements)
P7H55 series (enhancements)


If your board is not on the list, it does not mean we are not looking at improvements, just that we have not reached beta release and validation test process.

Still no throttling for P6T and 980x? :(

Hi all......

tested all bios and my xeon3520 wall still at qpi over 4000.....

ASUS.......:mad::mad::down::down:

My xeon on msix58m,ud5 and rampage gene II boot at 224/228 bclk and qpi 4032/4104 smoothly.And push in win at 235......:shrug:

I paid this card 370 Euro.....:shakes:

Any chance to release a new BIOS for R2E??

Improvements like: Intel Rapid Storage 9.5 ROM, Loadline calibration for memory, 3D performance improvement at stock settings and the ability to use the new ASUS AI SUITE II (released for R3 Genie) and the new SB X-FI software?? Thanks!

If your board is not on the list, it does not mean we are not looking at improvements, just that we have not reached beta release and validation test process.

I'm eagerly awaiting an updated bios for my P6T (vanilla) board so my Gulftown doesn't lower the multi when I'm priming at 4.0 and over. That is extremely annoying as I want to roll this setup in for some heatsink tests but right now I'm stymied because I can't get a stable overclock and a resultant heatload because of the dropping multi issue. If something doesn't appear in the next few days I will have to resort to my older Q6600 setup for the heatsink tests and I really wanted to test on the LGA1366 platform.

I am also waiting to hear back regarding the software updates. I own a Rampage III Extreme, which is the "full size" version of the smaller, more affordable Rampage III Gene. But since the R3G is a slightly newer board the newer Asus AI Suite II is listed in it's download section. But I am wondering if it just has not yet been updated for the Rampage III Extreme but will work with it also. Since the AI Suite II is listed for the R3G and it's supposed to be a micro version of the R3E it should work with the R3E also correct?

Before I go ahead and uninstall my current AI Suite and other applications and update them with AI Suite II I would appreciate a confirmation. Thank you!

best bios for rexII is 1202

>>bingo13

I tested your new beta BIOS "0860" & "9124".
Both BIOS are a little bit slower than "0820" on "3DMark 06"
GPU TEST is very fast but CPU test is very slow. (around 150~200 point down than 0802.)

Please improve cpu test score, next BIOS.


Thank you for your supports!!

Can you please PM your system setup? We will try to replicate this problem.

The AI Suite II is currently only compatible with the Ramage III Gene and upcoming Rampage Formula III. Once I have information on the RIIIE I will post it. We will also have a new beta for the RIIIG shortly.
