Hi mate please be careful with the model numbers u are quoting... There is no such thing as EX58A model no

Also with raid... I thought the latest was 1023 which is already updated on all new bioses

Yes Dino,right....I told him a few times about naming model numbers,but....
He copy from FLY74 on hwupgrade.it.

They may all be updated with 1023 (Can't remember exactly), but that is 8.9.x.1023, not the newer 9.6 ROM's.

F13k will be flashed tomorrow .

As far as F13J, i was surprised that the cold boot problem with detecting only 4Gb out of 6 is solved. On same voltages and overclock (24/7 stable settings) with previous BIOS-es I've had 2 GB of ram missing every once in a while until shut down PC and power it again to detect all 6Gb, but with the new BIOS that bug is gone, and I didn't re-suited my CPU or made any changes on the setup.

I am glad to hear this. For a while there, I was wondering if there was something wrong with my RAM! I might actually flash to F13k now.

Ok so I got it up to 200 bclk rather easily, but noticed 17x and 18x uncore are a little unpredictable and require a lot of QPI/VTT. Thinking of going up to 210-220 bclk just for s and giggles. My voltages are not bad and never go over 75c on water. Wondering if I should start messing with some of the secondary volatges in the bios. When do you find you need to start adjusting them?

When it's all said and done, this mobo ( EX58-UD5 ) will be fondly remembered as the one that just works...

For me it's so stable, it's boring...

NVM, found it but still getting same result. Indicator says C1 (memory?) but I can't see it being that as I have lowered that right down to 1200. Anyway, heres my settings that I am using on F6:

I have used the above settings on every BIOS after F6 and none will boot above 165bclk!

Any ideas?
