Has anyone experienced any problems with the P30 bios ? People have been reporting numerous problems that involve the updated bios kiling their boards. I personally had to RMA my evga 680i Ai board because I would the " -- " post code when dropping the multiplier on my Q6600 to 8 and incresing the FSB to 450 and above. If I increased the FSB over 1600 on the 9x multi, I would be able to boot to windows but it wouldnt be possible to do anything as it would reboot.

I did do the pencil mod, but no matter what amount of Vcore I gave it after 3.5ghz, it was never stable to do anything. As for the FSB holes I experienced, jumping over them was never enough as I couldnt do anything but boot into windows. The highest I got my chip (L26A) was to 3.93hz, long enough to take a screen shot. So im not sure if it was the bios update or the pencil mod that began giving me the " --" post code.

On a side note, I never ran into any of these things when dropping the multiplier and increasing the FSB on my E6700 . My board was capable of reaching a FSB of 1960 though.
