It's not on their website so I assume it is another random BIOS floating around the forums? I'm not going to upgrade BIOS's unless it's an official version as why upgrade when nothings broke with the F4, at least as far as I can tell.

Also Anandtech reported the "Extreme" memory performance setting resulted in "extreme unreliability"... suffice to say I have set my memory to "Extreme" @ 1068Mhz, 4-4-4-12, "Option 2" for the DLL change and have not seen any instability whatsoever. Still Memtest and Orthos stable... it is now an F@H box when not in use. Unless Crucial performed more magic to make their RAM stay 100% stable where others fail as they did in the DDR days I think it's likely a RAM voltage/Option 2/standard/turbo/extreme settings combination issue with at least some people's troubles, but I can only guess.

I have been testing the BIOS since last night and finally I have no more instability with my Corsair Dominator 8500 C5D.
This night I will try to overclock the DDR2; actually they are at 950 MHz 4-4-4-12, 2.2 V, turbo and it is perfectly stable: with BIOS F4 at these settings Orthos erupted after less than 30 seconds.

I think anyone can safely test this BIOS as the DQ6 has the so called "quad BIOS" and it is quite impossible to erase every copy.
