    Why do I have the feeling that if ASUS didn't release the REX I would have seen far better results with my RF.

    Every board does better with DDR2 than DDR3 but not ASUS.

    Foxconn Bloodrage guarantees FSB 500MHz with CPU's that can run stable with the FSB. I don't know if that is also with Quads but at least it's possible to run that board with FSB 500MHz without ridiculous volts and with stock cooling.


    Before BIOS 0902 it was impossible to run my memory at 1200MHz+ with tRD 6. Now it's a piece of cake and runs stable at 1250MHz with tRD 6 at 1.92V.

    I don't need a ridiculous amount of FSB Termination Voltage to run at FSB 500MHz. I only need 1.38V and that's not bad. I would probably only need 1.55V on the NB if some timings would be relaxed in the BIOS and make it at least possible to get FSB 500MHz stable.


    There's a lot more in that board but it needs a good BIOS to unleash it and the question is if ASUS is going to do that. They promised me to give me an explanation or to take action. But that's already a week a go.

    you do need to take in to account that there are holidays in this time of year, so it might take a week or two. Also maybe they are writing new bios already! (heh and then i fell off a bed and woke up)

    I agree but how much time does it take to put a few words in a reply?


    I think we should see a new BIOS really soon because Intel is going to launch the Q9500 in January but if something is going to fixed or added that's the question.
