The OC Station is a very usefull tool (not to mention it looks cool). I use it every time I work on further OCing my 920. Not just for monitoring or preconfigured profiles to switch to on the fly but it allows full adjustment of voltages, bclk, fan monitoring and alarm threasholds for all these settings. Have you guys tried it? If the bugs were actually fixed it would be an awesome tool. Meanwhile its just something that sorta works that I paid $150+ for.
:edit: oh yea and it works w/out being installed in Winblows
Well the rampage extreme (S775, X48) got a small version build in to the board, which is good enough for fast voltage settings and co... maybe you got that board mixed up with something else...
The XPower Dashboard also got it's quirks Bill, nothing is perfect in this world...
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
Nothing new for Maximus III Extreme?
Ah, but I had seen some screenshots floating about of BIOSes which had "Refresh Period" (fREF) settings in and a few other bits and bobs. Besides ASUS need to upgrade ALL of their S775 P35/X38/X48 BIOSes to work with Solid State Drives in AHCI/RAID.
I myself have modded the following BIOSes to work with Solid State Drives.
P5E
P5E3 Premium
P5E3 Deluxe
Rampage Forumla
Rampage Extreme.
For whatever reason ASUS use a REALLY old Raid ROM (7.5, from the days of the P35). For Solid State drives to work properly you need Option ROM 8.6 or newer.
Gigabyte have updated their boards with these updates, so I think it is about time ASUS did too...
I would also like to see some memory compatibility updates as well 8GB @ 1600FSB would be what I am aiming for.... on air, but this is not possible (according to experts)

Stop looking at the walls, look out the window
I suppose the Intel code is the same for X48 and X58 chipset, as they both use ICH10R SouthBridge.
Is there a link where I can get the latest Option ROM?
Maybe I can get a Gigabyte BIOS and extract from it the new code?
If I remember correctly Asus uses AMI and Gigabyte Award BIOS, is the option code the same?

Id like to see new P7H55-M bios with better overclocking adjustments or else i might need jump to gigabyte bandwagon.
Missing QPI adjustments for voltage and frequency and some other ocing options that can be seen on more expensive boards, gigabyte has them so its not chipset limitation.

Not meaning to keep dragging on about the X48 platform, but The following bug for QX9650 series Processors when using the manual multiplier needs to be resolved on the RAMPAGE EXTREME.
I have reported this to ASUS TSD, but have not received a response
FYI ASUS resolved that issue for the P5E3 motherboard (x38), so please fix the Rampage Extreme and update it's Intel and Marvel Option Roms too
Thanks

why no new bios
bingo is online every 2-5 days?
i push nobody kurumi
bingo is online and post nothing
i wonder why
thats all
and DONT stop posting bullabout me (pushing Bingo)
You are the pusher i some guys postings screenshots about new bios
scratch your Nose Pinoccio
A cat fight in broken English. LMAO!
I thought I had seen it all in SoCal.
Anyhow, yeah I said it a few pages back. Bingo isn't going to be doing much at all for a while.
If your child was severely/terminally (I don't know) ill, I would hope you would STOP everything to tend to it.
My daughter (48hrs old) had open heart surgery. The world stopped until she was stable, off medicine. She's now 10 years old.
Give Bingo a break. It's possible someone else will pick up the Betas and post them who knows.

You are completely right but I think bingo is not the only man in Asus involved in BIOS development and/or testing.
I kindly ask you not to judge the English quality of messages. Most of the people in the world are not English mother language (me first) and you can consider yourself lucky to be in an age of the human history that uses English as worldwide language.![]()
I wonder what asus is doing they havet put a new bios out for the P6X58D-E in like 5 months i see people complaining about the marvel not detecting drives and stuff but yet no new bios to fix it.

yeah asus are weak on keeping controller bios's up to date. which I suspect causes at least a few of the hdd issues people report.
i am lost in all the biossen rex 3 whits one is the best for 2d and 3d ln2 ?
It appears Asus JUST released BIOS 1405 for the Rampage II Gene - thus far it is only available on their FTP site:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LG...-GENE-1405.zip
Maybe we will get lucky and this will fix that "Cold Boot" bug. I personally have never seen the exact same problem. My board will be Prime95 for 1 hour+ stable while running 3D Mark Vantage over and over again and running a disk performance bench to a USB port (all three test running simultaneously). Every so often it will blue screen or if I connect a USB device (i.e. my CyberPower UPS) it will on rare occasion blue screen within 30 seconds of the connection. Also, sometimes it will quickly power on for less than half a second and then power off after hitting the power switch or using the power supply switch. Once this starts happening it doesn't stop even when power cycling it (letting it sit for 30 seconds w/ the power supply switch off i.e. no power to mobo). The only thing you can do is leave it alone for a while and come back.ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LGA1366/RampageII_Gene/RampageII-ASUS-GENE-1405.zip
I have also noticed that the throughput of the ICH10R RAID 1 REALLY sucks on revision 1307! I have two Samsung HD204UI 2TB drives in mirror that get 45-55MB/s sequential read and 95-101MB/s sequential write using CrystalDiskMark.
Prior to adding them to a RAID 1 they got consistent sequential reads of 145MB/s and sequential writes of 155MB/s.
I have modded the Asus BIOS rev. 1307 to include the updated Intel option ROM 9.6.0.1014 and also have the 9.6.0.1014 driver installed in Windows 7 64bit.
:edit:
Looks like the only thing they added was support for new CPUs according to this post on the Forum - [Sharing]BIOS 1405 released November 9, 2010
:edit2:
I just realized my IOH was running at stock voltage. I upgraded to 1405, updated the Intel Option ROM and bumped up the IOH voltage to 1.20616v. I'm now Linpack stable thru 30 itterations. Sorry for the bad mouthing about stability Asus, it appears that all sorts of weird things happen to the Gene after a blue screen with too low or too high of IOH voltage, including after a power cycle. In fact the only way I was able to get my system stable again was to either leave it unplugged for a few hours or power it off during POST so it would load the defaults due to a "bad OC" and then F1 into the BIOS and re-apply my OC settings with a save and exit.

Asus, shame on you!
You posted officially today BIOS 1102 for R3E that has been circulating in the wild for more than a month, without correcting the cpu temp bug.
You only put a dirty patch on it, as it is well known from day one that 1102 give a cpu temp 8-10 C° higher than cores with a reaction time to changes like a bradypus.![]()
