1 would think that if this CPU Margin Enhancement was causing problems with alot of folks, they would have recoded bios by now, and not kept it in a new bios version.

It would be good to know Exactly what problems it brings on and symptoms, before eveyone gets in a panic about it. Perhaps truehighroller or someone else can shed some light about this and their experience?

If they have really pulled the bioses then it could be because of this issue

803 is stable here for me, using ket's modded 803 (see other thread) since last day but not going to try more than 3.6, its just for tweaking my memory in the future as I have not done that before, and its supposed to be more forgiving on memory. At the moment I am all "auto" on these stick

After having multiple problems with a previously rock stable 3.6 (from that margin enhancement issue) I am happy to sit @ 3.6 24/7 with speed step using 803 bios. I dont want to push it (I'm on air and need 1.34375volts with this chip)

Will be interesting to see if future bioses from asus have the feature removed
