ASUS Intel Beta BIOS Releases and Official Support

[Fire4Wire]

bingo pls update first post with new bioses pls

[BulldogPO]

Bingo, can you make bioses to be compatible with CPU-Tweaker?

[Fire4Wire]

hey whats up here?
nothing new??

[pajda]

I would love to see a new bios for X48 RF with features of RE

[kup]

Guess is still vacation on Taiwan...

Or just typical Asus support? Awesome hardware always let down by crappy crappy bios support.

"We'll support you, we want your ideas and value your input"

"Ok, here's what we'd like and need that competing products had off the bat..."

*SILENCE*

"Hello? Asus? HEEELLLLOOOOO!??!??"

+1....

The good bios for qpi over 4000...Please.

And max compatibility with g-skill trident F3-16000CL9-2GBTD

That's going ot come down to luck of IOH I'm afraid. Some don't like going high BCLK with QPI fast mode engaged. I've got two boards that fall over at 215~219 BCLK for fast mode and that's with a Gulftown that POSTs over 225 BCLK on other boards without fuss. A lot of it is IOH, some of it is down to more work needed at the hardware layer on boards to circumvent early limitations or at least improve clocking margins if even by a small degree.

Updated 07/13/2010 -
Rampage III Extreme

BIOS 0860

1. Added additional memory enhancements
2. Enable official support for ROG Expander Board
3. Improved 3D performance at stock settings

http://www.mediafire.com/file/gi2zr0...-ASUS-0860.rar
Note - Uncore setting will now scale with BCLK settings when set to Auto. Manual settings will be required when running BCLKs over 220 to ensure stability and improved BCLK rates.

Note - LN2 Modes might need to be adjusted to improve cold clocking capabilities. Auto = LN2 mode 2, setting to LN2 Mode 1 will result in potentially better overclocking below -140C. This is dependent upon CPU quality and cooling.

BETA BIOS 9124

1. Added 2D SpeedBooster option for GulfTown owners
2. Enable proper memory table reporting in 3rd party applications
3. Improved 3D performance
4. Tweaked LN2 Mode settings

http://www.mediafire.com/file/zjm3md...-ASUS-9124.rar

Note - 2D SpeedBooster option is for non-3D applications like SuperPI, WPrime, and other programs that benefit from enabling CPUMicroCode ignore flags in the BIOS. Enabling this option will improve 2D application scores but will decrease 3D performance. We highly suggest disabling this feature for any 3D applications or benchmarking.

Note - This BIOS is still in Beta state and is released for those needing additional performance in 2D applications. We will have a final qualified version with improved memory and 3D performance shortly.



Beta BIOS Releases in Validation Testing as of 7/12/2010-
Maximus III Extreme (Audio, Memory)
P6T series (980x, Microcode, Memory)
P6T6 WS Revolution (Microcode)
P6X58D Premium (Microcode, Memory)
P7P55 series (enhancements)
P7H55 series (enhancements)


If your board is not on the list, it does not mean we are not looking at improvements, just that we have not reached beta release and validation test process.

The 9124 RIIIE Beta has enhancements to work with CPU-Tweaker. We are working with them to stay in sync where possible.

Rampage III Extreme

BIOS 0860

BETA BIOS 9124

Which one is older? I'm asking as cause
BIOS 0860 has date last modified: Thursday, ‎08 ‎July, ‎2010, ‏‎07:09:07 and
BIOS 9124 has date last modified: Tuesday, ‎29 ‎June, ‎2010, ‏‎09:17:30

BTW, is Subzero Booster option gone for good, or I just can't see it anymore until switched LN2_MODE jumper?

Still no throttling for P6T and 980x?

[Vinsent]

Hi all......

tested all bios and my xeon3520 wall still at qpi over 4000.....

ASUS.......

My xeon on msix58m,ud5 and rampage gene II boot at 224/228 bclk and qpi 4032/4104 smoothly.And push in win at 235......

I paid this card 370 Euro.....

[asusme]

Any chance to release a new BIOS for R2E??

Improvements like: Intel Rapid Storage 9.5 ROM, Loadline calibration for memory, 3D performance improvement at stock settings and the ability to use the new ASUS AI SUITE II (released for R3 Genie) and the new SB X-FI software?? Thanks!

I'm eagerly awaiting an updated bios for my P6T (vanilla) board so my Gulftown doesn't lower the multi when I'm priming at 4.0 and over. That is extremely annoying as I want to roll this setup in for some heatsink tests but right now I'm stymied because I can't get a stable overclock and a resultant heatload because of the dropping multi issue. If something doesn't appear in the next few days I will have to resort to my older Q6600 setup for the heatsink tests and I really wanted to test on the LGA1366 platform.

[spoolindsm127]

I am also waiting to hear back regarding the software updates. I own a Rampage III Extreme, which is the "full size" version of the smaller, more affordable Rampage III Gene. But since the R3G is a slightly newer board the newer Asus AI Suite II is listed in it's download section. But I am wondering if it just has not yet been updated for the Rampage III Extreme but will work with it also. Since the AI Suite II is listed for the R3G and it's supposed to be a micro version of the R3E it should work with the R3E also correct?

Before I go ahead and uninstall my current AI Suite and other applications and update them with AI Suite II I would appreciate a confirmation. Thank you!

I want the R2E v1910 beta

My xeon is still capped at 3.66 due to the locked uncore.

Please, someone share it

bios 1910 dosent exist för R2E only 1903.. did u even try 1903 ?

Yes, i did. But no luck with uncore multiplier, it is still locked at 20x on my retail x5650.

[Snow Crash]

^ this.

best bios for rexII is 1202

>>bingo13

I tested your new beta BIOS "0860" & "9124".
Both BIOS are a little bit slower than "0820" on "3DMark 06"
GPU TEST is very fast but CPU test is very slow. (around 150~200 point down than 0802.)

Please improve cpu test score, next BIOS.


Thank you for your supports!!

Can you please PM your system setup? We will try to replicate this problem.

The AI Suite II is currently only compatible with the Ramage III Gene and upcoming Rampage Formula III. Once I have information on the RIIIE I will post it. We will also have a new beta for the RIIIG shortly.
