Beta BIOS Releases in Validation Testing as of 4/10/2011-
All 8xx Series Chipsets

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.

Thanks for posting here.

Great iniative!
But where's the download link to the Ch IV F beta bios?

I think you will find that the beta for our board is not ready yet.

[theoldtimer]

Thanks Bingo13. I'll give the CHIII 1702 a try hopefully today.

Beta BIOS Releases in Validation Testing as of 5/27/2010-

Crosshair IV Formula - CPU/NB floating voltage bug, Improved Voltage requirements

Validation Testing means not released to the public yet.

[evilSuRGe]

Thanks for the beta bios bingo13. (CHIII - 1702)

I started to clock CPU/NB with all else default but when i set it to 3000 it doesn't take.
It boots at 2000.
I was able to get it to 2800 with 1.22v prime blend stable.
I'm going to keep testing to see what else i find.

EDIT:
Looks like my memory is finally stable at rated volt and speed with this bios.
Can't seem to get CPU OC stable above 3.9Ghz. Same issue with past bios's
HT ref clock doesn't effect CPU/NB at anything above 2800, it will boot at 2000+

I think that this will illustrate what I want to see in my ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO's BIOS. If you want to save the world by going green, better that you care about me.

M3N-HT Deluxe - Improved Thuban Performance

Any news about CHIV bios?

[MacClipper]

Hmm, Asus ftp seems to have even newer BIOS for the M4A89TD model already. Dated 28-May-10 10:43:00 AM.

That is the official release after the 0814 beta, they got it up a few days earlier than scheduled.

I am expecting the Crosshair Formula IV update very shortly.

[devguy]

Any word on the M4A79T? I would like to say that I do appreciate work being done to help this cause, btw.

[Shadowized]

+1 on needing m4a79t bios, being stuck at 800mhz sucks.

[Dumo]

Really like this board for its simplicity and strong oc...so far

We are discussing this board in a call right now.

M4A88TD-M USB3 - Improved Performance

Anyone else tinkering with this mobo too? Need to verify 2 issues which I have encountered viz. cold boot when unlocking cores and the onboard VIA PATA getting stuck at slave device detection once boot ROM is enabled.

imo, VIA stuff is generally to be avoided but Asus seems to like using them still (firewire and now PATA).

[Daveburt714]

I am expecting the Crosshair Formula IV update very shortly.

I'm waiting patiently Bingo...

I really hope it includes a Mem Divider lower than 1066 for all us poor souls who could only afford mid range memory and a 1055...

[aGeoM]

I'm waiting patiently Bingo...

+1

And adding to the list:

Crosshair II, and M3A79-T.

[Russ_64]

We are discussing this board in a call right now.

Any chance of an "beta" bios for the Z8NA-D6 to give us a chance to OC

Apologies for the hijack .....

[Zeus]

Bingo, we need a good bios for the Crosshair IV F man. No post after the systems hangs or crashes sucks. Also the 2MHz HT swing is annoying.

Please...

[Particle]

Excellent! It's an eight step process for me just to get the FID and VID to stick where they're supposed to be every time I boot. heh

[Shadowized]

great news indeed.

[CrimInalA]

Please...

they are probably making a super mega overclocking hyper bios for us . That's why it's taking some time

[p4spooky]

Waiting on M3A79-T and M3N-HT. I am sure they are going to fix it. Judging from the last M4A79 Dlx bios they got Turbo working. Hope Bing013 can release a beta soon.
