    Are you trying the old download link because I still have access to his files?

    The point is that if they won't do anything about it they're going to shoot themselves in the foot. We're not talking about adding new settings we're talking about wrong or outdated code in the BIOS that should be fixed.

    New version of BIOS BITS out v332
    This resolves the issue of an MSR test being reported as a false positive.
    I now get 5 failures on QX9650 as opposed to the 6 in previous versions.

    It is the same BIOS Implementation Test Suite, just direct from the developer's website. (Intel's official download centre is usually a few days behind the developer's site).

    Anyway you can download the latest version here

    its-332 released with these changes:

    *

    Update MSR Consistency tests to exclude additional MSRs which may be inconsistent but do not indicate issues with BIOS initialization.
    *

    Updated the test_options function to include definitions for verbose levels and corrected the default value.
    Documentation is included with the zip file, but some screenshots can be found here

    It requires a spare USB Key (flash drive/penstick) to boot with.

    BITS V332

    Running MSR consistency test suite

    (MSR 0x2a consistent): FAIL
    (MSR 0x40 consistent): FAIL
    (MSR 0x118 consistent): FAIL
    (MSR 0x19e consistent): FAIL
    (MSR 0x400 consistent): FAIL

    Summary: 4707 passed, 5 failed


    SMI Frequency and latency

    Summary of impact: observed maximum latency = 647us
    Risk of OS timeouts exists with this observed latency (ideal is < 150us)


    Very strange result with this new version. MSR 0x0 and 0x39 don't fail anymore but now 0x40 fails.

    The SMI Frequency and latency is exactly the same.

    I'm not sure i can be any immediate help with the bios code, however i have a maximus formula(x38) running modded rampage formula bios 1002 and would be willing to try some stuff.

    I would be willing to help with oc testing and adding that info to a general pull of data as i would love to be able to boot into windows with my chip at or above 4GHz .

    Same here.

    Send an Email asking newer BIOS with those option that you requested, but not one word.

    ASUS sent me an email in regards to the Intel Bios Test errors and it looks like they're interested in testing that and possibly fixing those errors. They are not interested in the ODT timings though.

    At least it is a good start though. They have not commented on whether they will fix those errors on the Rampage Extreme

    I would doubt ODT will be added to our BIOS as they seem to suggest it is something to consider for future boards.

    Who cares about their future boards?

    Whatever they're going to do we're still going to lose. When they're going to fix those Intel BITS errors and release a new BIOS, it's going to be a BIOS without tREF. They won't add the ODT timings and they never said that they're going to update the Option ROMs.

    The fact is that they don't want to do anything about the BIOS and still expect from us to buy their new boards.

    I am at work now so sadly cannot run it, but I am curious to see what results you guys get.

    I think that Gigabyte is the better choice. DFI Lanparty doesn't exist anymore so the support is going to be bad.

    The MSR Fails are the same but now you've got the choice to see more detailed information. Use option 3 in the Test Verbose Level Menu to see more detailed MSR Fail information.

    I'll post a picture when I've got the time.

    Thanks Alien
    I have reported these issues to ASUS on a Feedback form for the Rampage Extreme, I also mentioned that Rampage Forumla users were having very similar issues too.

    It looks like ASUS are keen to fix the BITS issues as i've had constant contact with ASUS support over the issue and have given them all the results on this forum.
