***Official*** ASUS P67/H67 BIOS Updates

[bingo13]

Updated - 03/07/2011

We have new NV video drivers for the P67 WS board that along with the 1103 UEFI offers improved GPU/multi-GPU performance. You will not be able to roll back to an older UEFI after this update as it contains new firmware and B3 stepping compatibility. The next official UEFI update (13xx code) in the near future will feature additional user enhancements, USB drift fix and updated Marvell/Intel MEI controller firmware. I highly suggest a Clear CMOS event after loading the updated UEFI and then entering UEFI to reset your custom settings. JJ and I will have updated information on memory setups and SSD testing next week.

1. Reset your UEFI to Optimized Defaults, reboot, enter UEFI and then flash to the new UEFI build.
2. After flash and restart, enter Windows/Linux, then exit and shutdown.
3. Remover the power cord from the power supply, wait thirty seconds, press Power On button to clear any remaining charge, clear CMOS for five seconds, reattach the power cord, power on the system, enter UEFI, set to Optimized Defaults, save and exit.
4. Enter UEFI, set your system to customized settings based on your system configuration (RAID, OC, etc), save and exit.

1204 Change Log -
- Improved OC performance using Multipliers or Auto Overclocking
- Improved BCLK and DRAM OC capabilities when enabling the “Internal PLL Overvoltage” option in BIOS. Note - Sleep/Hibernate will not operate properly due to Intel Specs.
- Improved Memory Profiles and Performance (Elpida Hyper owners, please use Red Slots for best performance, CFG Lock to Disable should improve SuperPI times even better now)
- Improved USB compatibility, performance and UEFI fixes
- Minor Bug Fixes
- Enable SPDIF output support in UEFI
- Enhanced auto rules
- Fixed OC profile usage with vCore offset mode
- Enable CPU target frequency at POST

Official Release - UEFI 1204-

Please note - Enabling Memory Bandwidth Boost will tighten memory subtimings and can cause non-post conditions with certain memory kits. It is currently optimized for Elpida Hyper and High Speed PSC ICs. This setting will be optimized with additional memory profiles over time and we are working on "best" settings for mainstream kits now. I recommend unless you are trying to set SuperPI records with the above kits that most users leave this option disabled. It is meant for "on the edge" overclocking.



P8P67 WS - Official UEFI 1103 (Based on 1305 and up Code)
Change Log -
- Improved OC performance using Multipliers or Auto Overclocking
- Improved BCLK and DRAM OC capabilities when enabling the “Internal PLL Overvoltage” option in BIOS. Note - Sleep/Hibernate will not operate properly due to Intel Specs.

- Improved MultiGPU performance
- Per Core Save Fixed
- Minor Bug Fixes including new Auto Rules for C-States (C3/C6) when overclocking. If you are overclocking, C-States will be disabled for enhanced performance. If you want EIST to work properly while overclocking, please ensure that C1E is enabled, C3 and C6 are also recommended to be enabled for PM reasons unless you are benchmarking 3DMark, PCMark, or Super PI.

Great News!!! Thanks......

[Linuxfan]

Sounds great! Can't wait to test when my next 2600K arrives!

[Clunk]

Thanks Mr Bingo!

[zoob]

Looking forward to testing this when I get home. Maybe I can squeeze a little bit more out of my chip

[Chri$ch]

Bios 0802 for MIVE is working but update isn´t possible with EZ Flash (error "selected file is not EFI Bios" or something like this)

Updated with BUPDATER

[TASOS]

Bios 1253 for PRO ... is MUCH better than 1053 beta

Thanks

[G.Foyle]

P8P67 PRO bios is definitely an improvement - went from x51 max multi to x53 just with new bios version, on the same settings.

[SV1SH]

bingo13
where the BIOS to P8P67 EVO?

[cherrypik]

No BIOS update for the non-pro(P8P67)?

[SoF]

Thanks

P8P67 PRO bios is definitely an improvement - went from x51 max multi to x53 just with new bios version, on the same settings.

I am having a bug with the multiplier - everytime after reboot it resets the option



mem overclocking seems to have improved, I could run much better timings now.
One of my chips needed a lot voltage after bios update but maybe it is due to the long testings under single stage and has degraded, not sure.
the other one seemed fine like before but nothing improved 56x still nogo.

I am having another big issue with my board: I can't clock BCLK in any way anymore when doing any changes it will ignore them and simply boot ~100 bclk.
very strange: the clockspeed during boot differs from 3416 - 3433 MHZ no matter if I set 99 or 102...new bios didn't helped to fix that.
Since yesterday after some reboot I have this issue. pulled the battery out for a night, cleared cmos etc but bclk still hardly fixed

[bito]

Any way to flash back from these newer bios versios with uefi ?

[Oliver]

Any way to flash back from these newer bios versios with uefi ?

If Your using M4E;

Rename the BIOS to m4e.rom, transfer it to a usb stick, place the usb stick in the ROG connect usb at the I/O panel, press and hold in the ROG connect button in 2 seconds (meanwhile PC not running, but PSU has to be connected) and it will start to flash.

Soon ur ready to go

[flutie98]

Should this be considered BETA?

[st0ned]

Any new BIOS for the EVO ?

[PanicProne]

I also have the P8P67 Evo, do these BIOSes work on the Evo?

I don't see the Evo getting much love :/ Pro and Deluxe seem to get more attention, even though the Evo sits right between them!

But maybe all theses BIOses are interchageable with all the P8P models?

I'm currently running the 1053 Beta Bios on my EVO.

[deaffob]

Is intel chipset driver important? I've never paid any attention to updating it.

[deaffob]

I couldn't get anymore OC from this bios. 4.8Ghz@1.385v
I was hoping to get 5Ghz@1.4v

[AnotherCanuck]

I'm experiencing the same bug as SoF, my Turbo Multiplier keeps resetting back to "By All Cores" every time I reboot or any time I change the RAM Frequency.

It's also still taking a very long time to POST.

POST on UEFI is supposed to be very quick, yet this is taking longer than any other motherboard I've ever had.

There's also a strange graphical glitch the first time you load the AI Tweaker tab after booting into the EFI. Everything will be overlapping and out of place. Scrolling or switching to another tab and back resolves it.

[flutie98]

Im having good results with the Pro. I did a full cmos clear after the bios flash just to make sure there wasn't any situation like before. Cold boot is gone, entirely but Im still unable to run my ram at the default 7-7-7-21-2T @1333 it will only run a 9-9-9-25-1T. I get instant BSOD with the XMP settings.

[makaka]

Yeah new BIOS is giving more BSOD here , i still checking though

Don't use XMP with SB. Your RAMs are made for the previous gen and they'll overvolt your settings such as IO voltage.

[chicoman]

No BIOS update for the non-pro(P8P67)?

I have two builds with the P8P67 non-pro board and eagerly waiting for the bios update too.
Prety please

[GoldenTiger]

Hm, new BIOS hasn't improved or hurt my OC at all it seems...2600K on P8P67 Pro... 48x 1.395v, llc ultra high, 130% power profile w/ extreme on the vrm, pll overvolt enabled.

Was hoping to make it to 5ghz without high volts that my poor cooler can't handle... oh well, it boots a little better/smoother and has a few bug fixes that are nice/other tweaks . Thanks for the new BIOS!

[Forceman]

How come the Intel Management Engine Interface driver says it is only for Intel motherboards on the Intel site? Still needed for the Asus boards?
