It seems that Asus released new bioses for all there LGA1366 motherboards yesterday. All for "New CPU support"... which is kinda funny. I don't know why they don't say the real reasons. And admit to CPU temp problems.
I bought two Rampage III Genes a couple weeks ago. Both of them had problems with CPU temps getting stuck, or going really high, zero, or negative. I filled out a support ticket, and was told to RMA the board. I got another one, and it did the same thing. So I told them again. They told me to RMA the board. I had tried both boards with 2 different i7 920 DO's (both of which were verified with no issues in other boards). Both boards didn't work correctly. They told me to RMA the 2nd board, and that I should get a working one on my 3rd try..lol.. Meanwhile, yesterday they released a new bios, which I flashed last night. Now the boards doesn't have wacky CPU temps anymore. It's just off by like 20C from core temps (when it should be about 5-10C max).
I'm just happy to have a somewhat functional CPU temp now. At least you can base fan profiles off it. I just wish Asus would get their act together and actually communicate something worthwhile to their support techs, and/or us.
