Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0402 Official
Notes
1. First release Bios
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 531 beta
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 534 beta
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0601 beta
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0602 Official
Notes
1. FIX SATA 6G device may experience S3 resume failure when using Intel i7 965 CPU
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0702 beta
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0704 beta
Notes
1. Added additional memory options (tRFC settings) to improve overclocking
2. Enable support for "Subzero Booster" for improved LN2 overclocking capabilities
3. Enabled additional CPU support for CPU Level Up functionality
4. Improved 3D performance at stock settings
Note - New microcode and the third party applications are not reading VCore correctly at this point, either use ProbeIt, ROG Connect, or a DMM for actual voltages. Asus are working with the third party vendors to correct this.
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.
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0704 Official
Notes
1. Improve system stability
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0802 (Not beta, Formal, going official in a near future)
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0802 Official
Notes
1. Improve system stability
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 0860 beta
Notes
1. Added additional memory enhancements
2. Enable official support for ROG Expander Board
3. Improved 3D performance at stock settings
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.
Rampage III Extreme Bios Ver 9124 beta
Notes
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
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. Asus 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. Asus will have a final qualified version with improved memory and 3D performance shortly.
