    Is anyone else having trouble running it? I always get an error on startup that says "The driver failed to initialize!"
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    It must be run as admin.
    R1.02 should prompt for priviledges, unless you have disabled the messages of course.

    I had been trying to run it as an administrator to no avail, but in the end it turned out being that it could not be successfully ran from a mapped network share. It had to reside on my local disk. Once there, it ran just fine.

    Managed to persuade Asrock to patch up new BIOS betas with updated AGESA 1.5 codes, hoping to test them soon.

    @Daveburt714 (and other 990FX Extreme9 guys), think you may enjoy tinkering with this updated beta L1.23A for your mobo. I have used it for playing with the FX-9590 sample the past few days, overall it's very usable altho' still slightly buggy.

    Awesome, great work getting a response out of them! I'll be flashing this tonight. Any other changes to this to be aware of other than updated AGESA?

    hey EnJoY, I am actually waiting for you guys to tell me more cos I haven't been messing much with the Extreme9 myself till lately with the FX-9590 sample.

    We really have to thank The Stilt for his superb expose of the state of Asrock BIOS, got them moving a bit faster after that one singular post.

    @Daveburt714 (and other 990FX Extreme9 guys), a new final P1.30 has been released a few days ago at the official Asrock sites so go get it.

    P1.30 is still crap. Still has outdated AGESA. Flashing the beta now.


    Edit: Beta has been flashed. Latest AGESA confirmed! No time for doing any testing now, but I'll see if it improves stability later.

    Info from my contact, so far only beta BIOS releases contain the updated AGESA so if you are keen try this newer 1.30A beta instead

    Nice, I'll flash this when I am home. So far the system definitely seems more stable, and I'm not getting the stupid sleep bugs I was getting before (despite having ALL power management disabled).

    Played with it over a day, it's less buggy than the previous beta and this one overclocks via Offset voltages.

    Have fun.

    Thanks Mac,

    The RAR file for 1.30A seems to want a password to un-pack it... Could you share that? (PM is OK if you don't want it in the wild)
    I really haven't messed with that board much, since I didn't need it. I've got a little free time now though, so I thought I'd give it another shot.
