    You have to use an older version of afudos. I used v229 but the one above (v207) should also work.
    I also used these parameters but don't know if they are required.
    AFUDOS /ixxxx.rom /pbnc /n

    you will need a new bios chip mate because the above command does not overwrite the boot loader properly so you will be running mismatched

    you needed to run this command AFUDOS /ixxxx.rom /pbnc /n

    RAID Option ROM is still the same...

    HDD Recognition Fails ? You mean disks not found at all, or that it takes much time?

    i've a R-0 of WD6400AAKS and they're just finely recognised. It is a matter though that my Gigabyte 790X-DS4 with 3.2.1540.6 scans disks much more faster (2-3 dots passing vs. 10-12 dots at scan with M4A79)

    Different things can happen when I turn on my PC. For example:
    1. Every disk (2x200 GB RAID-0 and the two 640 GB single disk) recognized within 2-5 dots.
    2. Same as 1. but a lot more dots needed. Sometimes I see two(!) rows of dots. This means 1-2 minutes of waiting, but at least, it works.
    3. Every disk recognized (after a long wait), but RAID-0 is offline.
    4. One or more disks missing from the list.

    Option 1 and 2 are really rare, maybe every 5th boot.

    I've double checked my drives, all of them, neither is reporting S.M.A.R.T. errors. I don't know what else can I do. I made a request about half year ago to upgrade the RAID Option ROM in the BIOS, but it doesn't seems to be happening at all.

    I can understand, that BIOS upgrades on newer boards or/with newer chipsets or/with Socket AM3 are more important, also Sandy Bridge is launched and they (Asus) had to do a lot of work with UEFI, etc. I also don't know how much time is needed to upgrade the RAID Option ROM and test it to be useful and make a beta BIOS. I would try that BIOS for sure. Maybe it won't be helpful at all, but at least I could have said that they have tried to help.

    At now, I'm just tired about this

    Apart from the fact that it was a very good "review", i was searching for some good closeup photo of the area near the 8-pin power socket.

    I finally got home and looked at my board....

    good review?! yeah! it was really useful when you wanted to push your board to the limit
    Unfortunately google cache didn't helped this time. Try to PM him, maybe he still have the pictures somewhere

    I finally got home and looked at my board....
    And? What did you found?

    I bumped on a Vdroop mod for M4A79XTD model and wanted to find out if they shared the same controller.. M4A79XTD has an EPU controller and M4A79 has ST L6740L controller...

    i know it has been discussed, but for e.g. 1.5125V in BIOS, i get 1.469~1.472 in CPU-Z and as i recall the DMM measurement was close to CPU-Z, not BIOS value...i thought that maybe i tried a vmod...

    i'll check again when i have more time...pin No.5 is the Vdroop according to the datasheet, so i'll check the traces and see if i can get somewhere with this...

    That's a realy bad vdrop, but it seems that all M4A boards suffer from this. Mine too. Back in that days when I've played with this board I made a sheet with voltages. One column showed the voltages set in the BIOS, and next to it was the real voltages under load. Since then I've moved several times and that paper got lost.

    Look what I found: M4A79 Deluxe Vmod

    You've got it: RAID Option ROM. That's why I'm mad. Really mad.
    Already flashed this BIOS a few days ago, so far so good.

    Just few quick questions:
    - Are you using RAID or AHCI mode?
    - Stock MS AHCI driver or AMD?
    - If you are using the one from AMD, which version is it?
