    This is incorrect, the S3 problem does not "kick in " at a certain Bclk on the UD5. It does on most other boards, so people paint the UD5 with the same brush as these other defective boards, guilt by association I suppose.
    Qflash doesn't work with F6E, but this is a non-issue because there is no reason to change away from the F6E. Even if you decide to change, you can do so easily, just use @bios, a util on the giga site. I did this myself and it is actually easier than using Qflash.

    I guess I'll just wait until the next final BIOS...hopefully it won't be long.
    There's no such thing as a 'final' BIOS. What you are refering to is the next bios that does not have a lower case letter after the numeral and even if such a bios appears, there is no reason to think that it won't have the S3 bug.
    There are only bios that work and bios that have a severe bug. People have told you time and again that the solution to your problem is to use one of many bios that are bug free, available, and will totally solve your problem. You then say, with no explanation, "no, I'll stick with the defective bios that has this bug", and then continue to complain that S3 doesn't work on the UD5. If you want to deliberately cripple your board by choosing to use a defective BIOS, that's your choice, but you should stop posting on this topic.
