Two new bios listed at DFI for MR2S

3/05 & 2/19 (For the 2/12 one reason is correcting AOD voltages listed )

MR2S BIOS

For the MR2 not sure if new but:

3/07 & 2/12

MR2 BIOS

Thx undersea,

Now using 3/07. Upgraded from 1/30 with latest winflash from the DFI site with "Clear CMOS" and "Update All" flags set. Worked flawless.

2/12 seems to use an older (vers 2) raid-rom so i skipped it.

3/07 updates the Raid Rom to version 3.0.1540.30, 1/30 had 3.0.1540.21.

I allways use an xp install cd with driver packs stuff integrated, so i used the sb600 drivers from diver packs. Version of "ATI AHCI Compatible Raid Controller" and "ATI RAID Console" is 2.5.1540.39 from 03/06/07 here.

HD-Tach results
3/07 - 1/30


Still no better options than 4-5-5-16 in 1066 mode with that bios.
But it can run at 615MHz with 5-5-5-16 and 2,31V (bios).


The power consumption still raises around 20W AC if i plug in an usb memory stick. An USB mouse does not trigger a higher load btw.

Can be there is an difference beside colors between the sapphire and the dfi version. Does an DFI user have an power meter and can check if his mobo behaves like mine?
