I am Xtreme
FYI guys I've completed my testing of UEFI 1.42 vs UEFI 1.5 on the Extreme4 and here are the final conclusions;
These observations have been made comparing UEFI 1.42 to UEFI 1.5 on the Extreme4. Below are issues still present or added with UEFI 1.5 along with recommendation for future UEFIs for the Extreme4.
Legend:
Green - Minor issue
Orange - Elevated issue
Red - Serious issue
Purple - Removed options
Black - Recommendations
Still present in UEFI 1.5:
- Full screen logo [Disabled] option is not saved into profiles
- Using Clear CMOS button results in all saved profiles being wiped!
Added problems with UEFI 1.5:
- Adjusting BCLK frequency results in the board failing to POST
- Disabling Spread Spectrum results in the board failing to POST
- When installing a USB2 Quickcam Pro 4000 connected to the rear USB3 port(s) the system will BSOD, pointing to the etronxhci.sys driver.
Removed from UEFI 1.5:
- "Good Night LED" option
- "Onboard Debug Port LED" option
Recommended improvements for UEFI 1.6:
- Put "Good Night LED" and "Onboard Debug Port LED" options back in!!
- Add DRAM voltage monitor to H/W Monitor page in UEFI
- Increase Vcore range from 1.52v to 1.6v (Yes this is possible, UEFI 1.43A turns this up to 1.7v. It also introduces the bugs in UEFI 1.5 sadly)
- Fix outstanding bugs in UEFI 1.5 (of course)
