    Update.. B3 and 1.13

    1.13 BETA works stable with B3

    Notes:-

    *FID/DID values are exactly the same as with B2 step and B3 step CPUs, they work.
    *However VID values do not work for 9850 BE, they will not change from stock, be careful
    *OC is better;
    I could not get 2800MHz CPU and 2300MHz NB even 1.38v stable with P0J/P0E/P0H before but... with 113 now, it is perfectly stable at stock 1.288v for 2800MHz CPU and 2400MHz NB -- I have been benching it too and it passed all my WISE tests so far.
    *Perf is also better on this BIOS.

    Resolved and Findings:-

    *Finally after so much screwing around and PAIN, I've worked out what causes the dreaded C1 and no boot - AKA "Oh no I have a dead Phenom!"
    It is 1066 RAM which causes it as soon as you clear CMOS or switch the power off! Crucial and Geil 1066 kits I have, both showed this behavior on a few MBs. Tried them = fail. Tried Corsair 800 MEM = perfect boot first time. Failed oc, cleared CMOS and tried again = perfect boot again

    Issues:-

    *2900MHz passed LD testing 1.440v ID / 1.403v LD but failed WISE during 6 youtube video playbacks - 35 minutes.
    *3000MHz also passed load with the same voltages but failed.
    *The perfectly load stable but WISE unstable error still exists.

    The royalty screenshots of my new boot settings.. stock volts.

    Stable before was ->



    Stable now ->







    Idle is 84-85W DC and 105-107W AC system power draw at those settings
    Full load is 185W DC and 196W AC system power draw at those settings

    This is same settings but 100MHz difference; 9850 BE 2500MHz vs 9600 BE 2600MHz in X264 benchmark:



    You can see 9600 BE still wins on MHz.
