My highest stable bclk is bios dependent. My max bclk is 216 with qpi 36 or qpi slow mode using F4j or F4m. Though I know some got higher bclk with slow mode.
It is bugging the crap out of me why my max bclk is 216 in bios F4j and F4m, but 178 in bios F4 and F5a. I have tried everything using F4/F5a from red-lining every voltage, manually setting all timings same as F4j, etc but no go, there is some setting/code that I cant get to in F4/F5a. If its a hidden setting, I want to play with it If buggy code, then I will wait for another bios update.
I dont like the thought of not being able to use further bios updates, if it is some setting/code change that will persist in future bioses via one of the modules, hope not the case. There are some things I dont like about current bioses that have been improved, like the slow scrolling, F4j loads like molasses.
Pic is modules and what changed from F4j to F4m to F5a, usually a change in size denotes which modules changed. Going from F4m to F5a, the _en_code.bin is just english language, etc so that change is not issue, that is just the pink/red etc text changes, with the bugged, disappearing cursor on F4 and F5a when on red/pink voltage, even the changes I like have sloppy bugs.
Either the t1group or awardext.rom contains the bugged code or setting that kills my bclk, it was changed from F4j to F4m and again with F4/F5a. Havent had the nerve yet to try switching a F4j module to F5a...but if GB future bioses have improvements I want, but still prevent my bclk above 180 from one of the modules, I will try switching some modules. Hopefully with dual bios I wont kill my board...but if so I will buy a different brand. Bioses have always been weakspot of GB, unfortunately.
Anyone with an educated guess on which module most likely the culprit given pic and above?
If buggy code, then I will wait for another bios update.
