    P0J Bios

    Well, my initial findings just in the last few mins after updating to P0j seem to be good. The disable option for the TLB fix works. Was getting around 1596KB/s on winrar at stock speeds, and 1684KB/s while running the cores at 2.6ghz. If I could set the NB/IMC up to 2.4 like I had with 1.1b3 I could probably get back above 2000Kb/s. I notice the HT can be set now, I'm wondering, does changing that also raise the NB/IMC multi to match?

    OCing the cores seems to be going a lot smoother, even with C&Q enabled in bios. Switched the multi up to 13x, disabled spread spectrum and boot into windows fine, started up everest beta1316 without issues too. Before when I was OCing with 1.1b3 it would stall for a second at the loading drivers part then continue. But this one has given me no issue so far. Even left cpu voltage at default in bios, Everest is reading at 1.24v core, which is stock when not in idle mode. But it's showing the VID as 1.250v in AMD pow mon. Among other good news things, the new beta of Everest actually reads my voltages properly, so my 12v rail is show at 12.67v like it does in bios instead of 8.1v like it was before.

    I think what I'm gonna do is bug MSI's customer support thing, and see if I can get em to put together a bios that allows for NB/IMC clock and voltage changes like the ones that had the p-states section. Since apparently thats how that ACI.101 bios came about.
