half the issues are because we are so used to K8 and how it clocked, we move to K10 and a whole set of new rules comes to play.
just look at your quote about the board messing up timings, you were not aware that the boards have a separate set of instruction that have to open up after you have chosen 1066 mode, so you were thinking the bios was borked when it in fact was working 100%.
There is stock of 9850BE's close to me so i will go get one today, I advised OCZ its time to step up support for AMD now as it appears they have made headway with B3. While some B2's are fine, going by my experience with a 9600 we all must be aware that some B2's are harder work to tune to squeeze the best out of them...of course they are fine at stock but thats NOT what an OCer is looking for
I will do some guides over at the OCZ forum for our customers, its going to be a big learning curve for many as they don't realize K10 is a whole lot different.
Regarding modded bios, i think its best i just work on getting the bios files working as they should, things like detecting tRFC correctly has to happen or default speed high performance dimms just will not work correctly.




Hey do you have any inside info as to source code update advancement from AMD/Award? I mean these Bios are getting to be beyond a frigging joke already and I know DFI is scrambling trying to make a Mercedes out of a Volkswagon Rabbit and they can only work with whats presented to them at any given time but sh**t this situation is really starting to chap my ass!
