I flashed to the 12_bo2 BETA BIOS last night just to see if I could find any extra bandwidth or lower latency as it was suggested these were tweaked in this build.

I was not able to get my 12 hour + Orthos stable rig with retail BIOS 11 stable for more than 30 minutes at 462 x 8 DDR1109 CL5 2T with the 12_bo2 BIOS.

I cant find any performance improvement over the retail 11 BIOS.

Has anyone got 12_bo2 Orthos stable for any length of time & if so have you found any performance gain?

One last thing I too can bench DDR1200 @ 3.6GHz 400 x 9 with both 11 & 12_bo2 but it is not Orthos stable & it is slower than 450 x 8 DDR1000 CL5 2T which means its no good for daily use even though DDR1200 sounds great.

Also as viper said earlier I too love this board & have not had or got 1 single problem with it yet its an excellent board.
