@ be: of course i get your point. answer is yes (in part)! i tested prime blend and prime large fft for 6-8hrs each, but only with bios-versions that are possibly corrupt with respect to what you have stated. and i'm definitely stable, but with relatively high vcore. very very stable, not only with prime or something, but with overall system in game. never had any crashes since i own this system under these settings, and i can tell, this is definitely a fact that i appreciate very much about this board!!! every other overclocked system i had before was more troublesome to get it stable than this one.
i do not use memtest, but goldmemory, and there as well i got a thorough test (~8h) run without errors at my current settings. but are these the best possible settings really? or something crippled by possibly corrupted bios?
i would say no if you tell me that with a corrupted bios i would not get a stable system whatsoever at whatever vcore
and i would probably say yes if it could be possible to get stable settings with a corrupted bios on higher voltages
in fact, i wondered from the first day why i can boot into bios at 1,2v and into win win at 1,25v but need 1,45v (all at 3,2ghz) to get it stable running prime..
if this is possibly a sign for some problem related to what we are discussing, then: do i need to do the procedure you described again or would a dual-flash to 03/12 do the job as well (given some time left at defaults and the proper cmos clear..)?
i just want to confirm i run my board the best possible way as i got it second hand with 01/30 already installed...
