ASUS Intel Beta BIOS Releases and Official Support

[R37ribution]

I too have been a long time ASUS fan, and just got one of the newer R3F's with a 950, and I'm just about ready to throw it out the window, it drops my SSD on the SATA-III controller every couple reboots without rhyme or reason and usually the only way to get it back is clear cmos, shut down, start up and reconfigure the bios, but you can only enable AHCI on one controller at a time, i.e. standard sata2 or sata3, this is rediculous, I have never had a board so buggy in 20 years, I can't even overclock for snot on it without the marvel controller dropping the drive. I'm thinking I might be calling EVGA soon... unless someone else can recommend a good X58 1366 board... I don't want to switch teams because I have always had very ood results with asus products but this thing is aweful.

My Gene II was having similar issues once I OC'ed my W3520 above 3.9 Ghz. I had to raise my IOH voltage just a tad from the stock 1.11341 to 1.20616 and it solved my problem. Before I raised the voltage, my board dropped my Blu-Ray off the jmicron controller all the time. I had to power off the machine the next time it tried to post to get it to load the defaults due to a 'bad overlook', save my previous settings in the BIOS and exit.

After upping the IOH my chip passed 30 iterations of Linpack using 4096MB of RAM while the Intel ICY10R RAID was doing a verify on my mirror (proves the IOH voltage helped since its dealing with extra bandwidth of the southbridge during the rebuild) and my Blu-ray hasn't dropped since.
