izallica, for your 3.9 Prime Blend stable state you posted, cpu-z shows 1.512V, after stopping all workers.

What is the voltage shown in cpu-z during load ?

Just found a new BIOS:

if you do not have a AMD x6.... CPU DO NOT USE Bios
3501 it will cause your Multi to be locked at X4 and no way to revert back to prior Bios without getting the
"version in ROM file is older then existing board!" i tried the way mentioned on the Asus site : there is 2 threads on the subject http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us nothing has worked so far any suggestions would be great and helpful ..

3501 is working fine on my board
Try this version of AFUDOS: Link
And the command is: afudos /ibiosname.rom

3501 is working fine for me too since yesterday...

[AMD_Freak]

[mime_fx]

is any way to downgrade from BIOS 3603 to BIOS 2603?

just download the 2603 from the ftp ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...3/M4A79_Deluxe
and flash as you would normally

I guess you'd better do this the old way, not from windows utility....

[mime_fx]

same problem with ez flash 2 utility

[Jonny_doe]

I never flash bios in windows , i always use dos to flash them with a usb boot stick, it's alot less dangerous ..

[800ster]

In my experience of this board flashing to an earlier version was blocked by the flash tools. When I needed to do this last year I had to use an old version of the ASUS afudos flasher from a DOS boot disk. There was a step-by-step procedure posted to these boards.
