http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YLN84FXP

Intel ICH10R: v8.5.0.1030 vs. v8.0.0.1038
Intel Boot Agent GE: v1.3.24 vs. v0.0.19
Marvell 88SE6121 (88SE61xx): 1.1.0.L72a vs. 1.1.0.L70d

--- EDIT 2

If you also want to update the Silicon Image SiI5723 on your mainboard, go to page 86 in the SiI57xx SteelVine Manager User's Guide.
> SiI57x3 Firmware for Upgrade by GUI 1.1576
> SiI57xx SteelVine Manager for Windows 5.1.24B

I can't believe you are writing Asus's Maximus II Formula bios when they should be. Monster props man!!!

How does this differ from the last version I tried? Looks the same except now you're going backwards with the ICH10R firmware i.e. 8.5.0.xxxx Vs 8.6.0.xxxx. Perhaps start a version numbering system to keep it obvious what's what.

[e.v.o]

jap. then call this version:
MIIF-1901-ICH10R_v8.5-PxE_v1.3.24-88SE6121_v1.1.0.L72a

i will think about it or do you have any idea?

Well if you want to make a habit of modifying the BIOS then I would:

1) Make a new thread specifically devoted to MIIF Modded BIOS's
2) List the BIOS's you have made
3) Use the Asus BIOS version followed by your own revision i.e. 1901.002
4) Below every BIOS make a description of the changes made
5) Provide download link below each of your BIOS versions
6) Once done, post the link to that thread in this thread too

+1 on what GFORCE100 said.and only if you plan on doing this on a regular basis.that would make things simple and clean and easier to understand.

New thread is a bit over the top, don't you think?
But i like the idea, cause when there are new BIOSes, someone should test those things ...

But i think you are right,.. that this has to be done seperate... maybe this evening i will make a thread with all informations, etc.

Why not have the info added to the Problem/Fixes thread
3 MIIF threads is a tad much imo...
I'm sure if you ask/involve Zoob he will update the thread as needed.

OH SHI- you sir have excellent configuration!

[bito]

Are all chipsets on MFII's still Rev.A2 ??
Don't recall seeing an A3 revision chipset yet.

[radaja]

seems to be.i have yet to see any A3.asus must have bought a butt load of these chips.

[e.v.o]

Asus bought a lot A2 but also A3. It is a mystery to my why they put A3 on P5Q boards but not on MIIF.
Only explanation to me is that they manufactured maaaaaaany MIIF.
Boards confirmed A3:
P5Q DELUXE / P5QL-E / P5Q-E / P5QL / P5Q3 DELUXE / P5Q-PRO / P5QL PRO / P5Q-EM / P5Q SE / ...
Just do a google search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...&start=20&sa=N

[screwtech02]

Yeah, most of those other boards clock better, and have a better bios also... Are CHEAPER to boot...... Go figure....

[Simonix]

sorry, but there aren't modified bios for this motherboard?

[529th]

Yeah, my P5Q Premium will do 500fsb with a wolfie - not sure if it in my MIIF board will reach 500fsb, but will try just out of curiosity. Will post results later

[seba84_2005]

500FSB on Q9550

Looks good, I'd like to see what your temps look like. Not sure but it looks like you have 2 GTX280's on the board? I assume you know this and did it for photo purposes but its a crossfire board it wont run SLi.

What Ballsitix 2 x 2GB kit do you have, the tracers or tracer reds? 1130 MHz 5-4-4-12 @ 2.1v is pretty nice. What can they do at 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v?

On a lighter note, it looks like your lounge is made by nvidia

Nice is that stable? I'd like to see what kind of FSB you can get stable with your chip, I remember its a great batch (Q822A435).
