There should be NO Comparison between versions, you must start over without thinking of previous BIOS's or you are just going to go back to older BIOS to quickly saying the new ones suck.

Comparing them will only set you back in your progress, like I said you may need more or less than before. Just start at 1.3 and work your way up then if no luck try down, but I would assume at 1500+ you will need more than 1.3 anyway with those timings.

Set your own stable CPU Voltage so you know it is not part of the issue, sounds like you are using FAR to many Auto's to be overclocking and blaming BIOS's for your clocks failing. Do it all manually yourself, no Auto's especially voltages like QPI/Vtt, Vcore, IOH, and Vdimm.

I tested the F7 and i can run 100% stable with 1.2v QPI voltage. I dont wanna go higher because i did tests on the QPI. And if you up it with like 0.3v you get + 40 watt power usage. The same for the v-core + 0.3 will give you like + 55 watt power usage. And for 24/7 i want low power usage.

I dont care that i can get more out of it i just want the perfect blend of performance/watt. My Die hard overclocking times with prometheia cooling and stuff are over

But i will give it another shot by moving everything of to default and set it for a target voltage and see what will bottelnek first.
