Ok, I talked to Lord Trident about this. I decide to open a thread about BIOS and bugs that needs to be fixed. I'll collect every information and put it here in first post. I also hope that you'll take part in this and help with information.
I hope this thread will help to fix BIOS bugs quicker
Bloodrage
1.Fully adjustable PCI-E Frequency
2.Cas Latency 1 lower then it should be
3.CPU and IOH QPI Latency options - if you scroll up from auto to 256, it doesn't let you scroll back down to 0
4.If fans are set to anything other than full or smart, it will cause issues with the way the bios reports the voltages.
Blackops
1 - On 1:3,2 dividers DIMM1/DIMM2 works very well (up to 570mhz easy) , instead DIMM3/DIMM4 have a wall at 480/490
2 - VTT voltage bios menu that start from 1,2v for 45nm CPUs (better use a bios menu with +0,075 ; +0,150 etc) instead 1,1v.
Destroyer
1.The CPU->NB multi cannot be adjusted in the bios.
2.Raising the Reference Clock in the bios above 250Mhz results in unprecise Clocks in fact, due to CPU-Z. 250Mhz does effect correct 2250Mhz HT and NB Clock. 251Mhz in contrast results in weird Clocks like 249.1Mhz Ref., 2241,9 HT and NB, additonally, the CPU Clock also doesn't match the bios clock. 252Mhz is identically (!) with the 251Mhz-Option, while 253Mhz in Bios results in a CPU-Z-Clock of 252.1Mhz.
3. Setting the nforce780a SATA-Controller to AHCI Mode make it impossible to check the SMART-attributes, they are simply invisible, just like the temperatures of the Hard Drives. Additionally, while in AHCI mode, all Hard Disks are "invisible" in the bios. Is this a chipset-related issue or rather a problem of the bios?
4.If you allow the system to drop into S3 sleep mode (S1 sleep works fine), FSB come back to default 200MHz
SOLVED

1.Turbo only works with EIST on after 200BCLK, 200 and below you can have EIST turned off and it worked fine. -->> no problems with this. Turbo IS a part of eist, there is no way to turn off eist and have turbo...
2.Default voltages change going lower then higher, etc.. I.E. Vcore would default at 1.23v, I make all my adjustments, verify several times that the bios has them and is using them. Then out of no where the default vvore voltage drops to 1.11v, which is fine except it makes the whole thing unstable. -->> The real problem is vcore vid recognition which still doesn't seem to work 100% correctly, but there is no problems with system stability
