ASUS Intel Beta BIOS Releases and Official Support

[MarkAtHome]

.

We are working on P6T series improvements with the 980 processors. I am back and will have updates on other boards shortly.

Hi bingo13 -- I have two thoughts for my P6T Deluxe V2:

1 - Any chance that the new version will enable the BIOS to display actual settings next to Auto

2 - Will we see settings for target CPU and RAM speed entries, letting the BIOS do the rest? :-)

A bios that supports lower then 1.8 cpu pll for the P6X58D-E would be awesome.

Any chance of this happening?

I really hope Asus looks into this. Our boards are in desperate need of more voltage adjustments to get higher numbers using less power.

I 2nd this for the Rampage II Gene, users around the forums are getting very high overclocks undervolting the CPU PLL below the default 1.8v. Also, QPI PLL isn't even an available voltage to adjust???

Here is an example of someone turning down the CPU PLL and getting a 4400Mhz OC on a i7 920. Its from a thread I have going about my heat issues

Maximus III Formula

BIOS 1901

1. Added additional memory enhancements
2. Enable official support for new processors
3. MicroCode Changes
4. General Performance Fixes

For which new processors is it support for?
MicroCode Changes? for what and for which cpu?

Much appreciated for any information you have about it.

Got a problem with temp reading on all bios for the p7p55d-le, motherboard and cpu temp are always the same and also change @ same time, can this be fixed, already have latest bios 1702, the only working corretly whas 1102.

Thank you for your feedback about REX3 "0901" BIOS what my request.
I tested your new BIOS "0901", today.
I think "0901" is much faster than "9124" BIOS.
My test result reported on my blog.
If you have time, please visit my blog.
"Overclocking Memo"

B'regs.

good scores but i think that the difference between the 2 screens it's pretty random dependent

any update bingo

asus has internal an Bios 1003 for Rampage III Extreme or newer

can we get some update before weekend?

[joe_cool]

Can you please tell me the changelog ?
The only thing i can see is there are some new options under "CPU Configuration".

can you share 1003 pls

Yes, I know 3d benchmark happens always radom score.
But this result get over 10 times try both BIOS.
Finally, I judge "0901" BIOS improve CPU test score than "9124" BIOS.
So I reported as above result to forum member.

Any news on the Rampage II Gene cold boot fix? I am on 1307 and it is still not fixed, this is the only major bug left on this board AFAIK and I will be a happy Asus customer .

What is the cold boot issue? I have the Gene II and haven't noticed it.

What is the cold boot issue? I have the Gene II and haven't noticed it.

Well I have been running my computer at stock speeds for the past year and I always crash once every 2 weeks or so. It's prime stable though and RAM seems to be fine. I haven't RMA this board because this is the only computer I have for post-secondary school work and everything else.

But since BIOS 1307, it works fine if I don't cold boot. So recently I came across the post in the Asus forum where people claim to still have cold boot issues at stock and at overclocked speeds.

Cold boot basically means you were using your computer without rebooting once after Windows is loaded. So After I turn on my computer and Windows is loaded, I reboot, load Windows and then use my computer and I experience no crash.

I usually just hibernate if I want to turn my computer off, and that has been working fine for months. So obviously it doesn't seem like a hardware problem to me but just need BIOS to correct the issues. So maybe it is an issue with memory compatibility. I have done everything to narrow down to either it's an issue with this board or my OCZ Reaper 1866 and seems most likely is this board. Very disappointing for a motherboard I paid $330 back in 2009.

can you share 1003 pls

Bingo13, any chance Asus to release an improved BIOS for Rampage II Extreme?? (Updated Intel Option ROM, Loadline memory feature, Performance enhancements) and AISuite II - X-Fi MB2 support?? Asus has forgot the R2E owners I think ...

Update -

Sorry about the delays as a few press events have kept me on the road. We should have a patch shortly for the P6T/980X owners, new Rampage III Extreme Performance BIOS, and a few P55/H55 updates.

Any place we can request features and have a decent chance of them showing up?

I just switched back to an ASUS board (P6TD Deluxe) for my primary system and was unpleasantly surprised how many features the BIOS (and other, cross-flashed BIOSes) is lacking relative to my Gigabyte X58s that are nearly 100 dollars cheaper.

Some things I miss:

- options for voltages below stock, especially on CPU PLL
- higher granularity on ICH voltages
- fully manual input of memory timings, so I don't have to cycle through a list, and can achieve better granularity
- option to completely remove/disable turbo throttling
- CPU fan speed control by voltage, not just PWM

Does this mean nothing for the Rampage II in the works ?
