    nice one A-Grey... you crack me up!!!

    What an anti climax this was...

    feels like having a porsche with 50bhp.
    All I know now is that IF I really consider buying another ASUS mobo it needs to be the extreme series.
    I am waiting on the results of the RIIIE.
    I guess next will be either Gigabyte or DFI

    How can you trust a company that doesn't hold on to their promise?

    Do you really think the ASUS Rampage Extreme III is going to be a lot better overclocker?


    I'm not going to say that ASUS is bad and I don't think that replacing the board is going to give us a lot better performance so it isn't worth the extra money and time and work you've got to spend in replacing it.

    It won't work. It doesn't need more and when I don't use the right FSB termination Voltage I'll end up with a BSOD running Prime95 and UT2004 together.



    I'll test it for a longer time later to see if stays stable and good enough to run with 24/7.

    The new BIOS has arrived. I'll try to flash it with this BIOS later and if all goes well I'll share it with you guys who are willing to try it out.

    What do you guys think. You should I make a new thread now that we've got this BIOS or do we stay in the same "preview" thread.

    Give it to me!!!:d

    AMIBCP shows one new feature - Dram Refresh Perdiod (TREF). Later I'll check for improvement in 500+ fsb quad core overclocking.

    Alien Grey,
    is there the special 133 FSB mode as the one seen on the EXTREME bios?

    Ill answer you this for now, dont know if Alien Grey had any chance to test this yet. There is none. TREF is only change in options i noticed, however there seems to other changes made in bios code, so i dont know how bios acts. I dont think ill experiment with it before other people confirm it makes higher clocks more stable. Because simply right now i dont have 2-3 days to test higher clocks and i need computer stable

    edit: btw it looks wierd when you boot computer with bios version 0001 :s feels like "what prototype the hell is this?!".

    Thanks SoLoR...
    So let's hope that 500 FSB stabilty will be an automatic feature...


    If I had that bios I would try it...

    It's great to see you guys got there in the end and had ASUS update the BIOS for you

    Well done for hanging in there Alien...I have my fingers crossed for you that the update gets you more Mhz

    From my initial tests, this bios acts just like 0902 but with added TREF option .

    This is a testing BIOS and this is how it should stay so I'm not going to make it available for everyone just yet and I hope that if you've got it you do the same.

    However if you would like to test it, send me a PM and I'll give you the link to download it.



    It doesn't have the Special 133 Mode available yet but I think that ASUS is going to add it if they know what's wrong with it. It's a pity they didn't add it because now I can't try to find out if I can get it to work.

    I think we need this for our high FSB runs and that's probably why there's no or very little difference between testing BIOS 0001 and official BIOS 0902.

    Whoever will still get this bios please do me a favor. Do couple (3 or so) passes with with 0902 linx (intelburntest) and just check top gflops (use fixed memory value not max). Then after you change bios to 0001 redo settings and do another 3 passes and check top gflops again. Not sure but i have feeling something was changed preformance wise. If i rememeber correctly i got around 50k gflops with 0902 using 2.5GB of memory and im geting only about 48.8k with 0001. This is using exactly same settings ofc, but i dont know if memory serves me well regarding my 0902 gflops

    I'll try it tomorrow. I was in the middle of a 100 pass run with Linx at 4.185GHz with BIOS 0902 when ASUS send me the new BIOS and made a screenshot so it's easy to compare.
