I sent Phenom II chips in for RMA and have 9600 BE back in M2R and JR 790GX is on the Bench empty.
I have warned you guys about current Bios what you do with that information is up to you though. Me Personally I will not see my 940 BE for about 2 weeks and 9600 BE is left at stock and I certainly hope D.F.I has not taken this criticism lightly and it prompts them to code adequate Bios of worthy D.F.I AMD Status so we can put this negative feelings about this ongoing situation behind us.
I am really going to push for a collaboration between D.F.I and a few select people to do extensive testing on AMD Bios front for 790FX-M2R & 790FXB series boards if I could get them to concede to sending out 3-4 select people (Myself Being 1 of the 3-4 People) a 790FXB Motherboard for dedicated and extensive Bios Testing I really believe that we could get these Bios Issues resolved with the feedback and submission of Bios Bug Reports and expedite this whole process and correct this problem/problems in Real time so D.F.I can Claim the AMD Overclocking Crown once more.
I Certainly Hope that I can get this to happen as I do not see this being corrected in any other way short of people blowing up their Processors and Souring them about using or Buying D.F.I . People losing their hardware do to Bad Coded Bios more often then not will not be as Nice as what I was about the experience and this is not the Proper or good way at all to find out about Bios Problems! 98% of People Using "Beta" Bios DO NOT submit Feedback they only piss and Moan when something bad Happens if the Beta was submitted to select few for week to 10 days to few select people before OK to released to public then that would alleviate a number of issues right there .......(its a start and a safe bet!) not the definitive answer to the problem but all important aspects of Bios would be checked and scrutinized and info passed on to D.F.I before a Beta release candidate to the masses is posted. This really needs to be done! For the cost of 3-4 Boards to select testers from D.F.I the cost to them for that is insignificant compared what this is costing them with current situation and Bad Feeling being generated by end User Experience with Current Situation across all D.F.I AMD Boards!
