I just flashed to the newest 1604 bios. It has no other options, and i cannot overclock any further.It states "memory compatability in 1333 fsb is enhanced" so i figured they have made changes to the memory controller operation. Then i figured i'd re-measure my vdimm, just to make sure they didnt alter it.....it was 0.03v lower! I had 2.16v at the coil with 1405 bios, immediately after flash, i get 2.13v! Now my ram is not totally game stable, it crashes out to desktop when going back to the main menu.
Im quite annoyed, i have a fixed resistance vdimm mod in place that gave me + 0.16 - 0.18v, and i dont want to run D9's at 2.2v 24/7, so i will have to re do the mod with a VR now or flash back, but honestly i think there's less chance of me stuffing my board by hard modding it for the second time than by flashing the bios using any asus utility. Cheers for that asus. So anyone thinking of upgrading to new bios -- if you have optimised timings for your ram voltage & youre satisfied, dont upgrade.

i flashed mine to the latest bios ´cause it said in Asus site that in order to support the E6550 it had to be updated...
I´m kinda hitting a wall at 520fsb, but i can´t be sure if it´s due to ram(i´m using 1:1 divider, running ddr2-800@1040, gskill pk) or due to the board, i would like to know if someone have already gone up that fsb value and stood stable(running orthos).
Tks in advance.
