Hello all, my first post here - I have a few questions;

Can anyone tell me why 16.B04 is a must?? I used it with my QX9650 for a week, but rolled back to 16.b03 as I couldnt go as high with the FSB. Currently im running 456 * 9 with beta bios 16.b03.

Also, 16.b04 hasnt completely fixed the CPU temp issue - it works until you put the PC to sleep and then reports CPU temp of 0 degrees. Also, as far as I can tell, they havent fixed speedstep -it fails to work. I need speedstep as Im running 1.51v all the time. Speedstep C1E would reduce the voltage and speed when idle, thus saving my CPU greif. Without speedstep you have to over volt the CPU to compensate for the Vdroop at full load.

Has anyone with the board got speedstep to work with a QX9650?
