Anybody know? Going to try out 878 on 2nd BIOS chip 601 has been running fine for my 980x so will leave it on chip 1.
Sorry for the delay but I am having problems of my own.
The default setting for CPU PLL on 980X is 1.8v. Setting to 1.85v is not a significant risk of danger.
But the closer you approach 1.9~2.0v or pass it the more at risk you are.

Power = Current x Voltage

So people. Keep in mind we are playing with Electricity here and the Laws of Physics.
It is not only heat that Kills. Does an external light bulb ever burn out in the dead of winter in CANADA ?
Yes! even when it's -30 degrees C. Is it because of heat ? Not necessarily. It's more complicated than that.

When you play with Voltages you run the "risk" of damage to your system or shorten its expected life.
But "risk" does not necessarily mean certain damage.

Your second question is answered here.

The difference between BIOS 0002 and BIOS 0003 is temp reporting and a few minor changes on the LN2 side. BIOS 0878 does not have the same temp reporting changes in the 0002/0009 BIOS code but does have the open memory settings and will be just a bit faster in certain operations than the other two betas.

0009 was an internal build that never should have been leaked and due to the way it was leaked, it will slow down future beta releases from us until this problem is solved.
