ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[Leeghoofd]

Speculation . Besides , your board is running stable according to you . Good . But that doesn't necessarily mean others people boards are running stable .

Dunno bout speculation, debugging is in full progress. Lots of boards already at or on the way. Our samples should arrive next week somewhere. The companies want to be 100% ready at launch date, believe me the focus is there... a late arrival means loss in sales...

Won't it be a good idea to dedicate a Formula IV thread with just the issues peopel are still having. Also state how to replicate the issue, things you tried to resolve it etc. I had loads of users in the RE III thread having the Bclock/drop in 3D performance issue (Error bits). Sadly only two contributed in a dedicated thread, while in the RE III thread at a certain time almost everybody had it (snowball effect). I can't defend the end user with only two people having an issue. Although believe me we (me and Massman) had a good discussion at the Asus Frankfurt Tech conference on the RE III/Designed for overclocking issues...
I would happily be the liason between the bios engineers and the end user. But I need solid proof of how, why and what ?

For this board : Most HT/Vcore swings are due to incorrect CPU-Z readouts (think we posted the THG proggie zillions time already and Bingo13 told us to use either a DMM or the ASUS soft to readout voltages) , enabling the Turbo makes it all worse (it's an AMD thing ) and speù issues due to bad/corrupt/incorrect executed bios flashes.

Also don't always believe what you read. Some users aren't as apt as they tend to show... it's not always the board or bios too blame... As always there are flawed boards, no discussion bout that... but never forget the human factor !! Secondly the perfect board/bios doesn't exist. Every board got it's own little quirks (not working divider, CL7 bug,etc...)

I'm just an end user like you, that does a lot of testing for reviews/ companies and open to any suggestions. But I have to remain sceptical to some reports...

My CH IV board is a pre retail sample ( which isn't an as good overclocker as the retail I had for the review (340 vs 355HT Clocks ) But till now rock solid at home, folds with 6 cores at 4Ghz/2000Mhz/2750Nb speed, Cooled by Corsair H70. Plays Bad Company 2 for hours and it allows me to do my daily stuff...
