hi
has anyone got the extreme 6 1.50a bois to unzip corrently
have download a few times but either will not open or extracts to wrong size

Hello beast200,

I tried 1.50A on Treiber yesterday and got no problem with it. File is 8192ko unzipped.

ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility ver:0.1.54 is available for download from ASRock site.

Updated from your link

Update 2: Apparently a firmware fix originally intended for the SB850 chipset also fixes this issue. You can get it here:

Running 2 x F3s without a hitch.

Hi

Thanks

this link does work
But found that if i used firefox ii lue of ie8 file download ok from pctreiber
time to see if 1.50a any better

Can anyone verify using UEFI 1.53 or 1.6A if THESE bugs are still remaining or if most of them have been ironed out? I need to update my report for Asrock, so a general consensus is more appropriate than just my testing.

1.60A has ironed out most of the bugs for me. I do still have the num lock bug, once I change anything to do the sata settings num lock no longer works and I have to manually turn it on everytime I go into the UEFI. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else.

I'm currently testing at 5ghz so I've been messing around with the settings quite a bit.

[radier]

I think they should focus on XMP profiles database especially if it comes to setting correct vDram. For eg my timmings are set correctly but vDram i set to 1,5V even if in UEFI profile shows 1,65V.

Good thing is that my RAM is stable on that 1,5V

best bios on Xtream 6 has been 1.33A
bios1.42 was crazy about voltset,an 1.50a and I can not Regt figure out, can not get the 2 new bios have stable whit high oc 5.4GHZ

For me it's still deleting profiles with CMOS reset, the other bugs are mostly gone at first glance.

But isn't this the way CLRCMOS should work? Wipe everything out to start from scratch?

[Cy4n1d3]

I guess this is debatable
I would like the Clear CMOS button to reset settings only, not the profiles.

[Aladdin]

Hmm, do I need to replace my PSU guys ( HX620)



Have a look at the 12v rail, is this acceptable or I need at least 12.0000v or more ? This is priming @ 4500Mhz

[radier]

Check voltage from molex using multimeter.

[Mysterfix]

Does anyone know where measuring points are for vcore and vdimm on the Extreme4? I'd like to get some readings with my multimeter so I know exactly what voltage I'm getting at various settings under load.

Sadly I dont have one here

[Cy4n1d3]

This is within specs. More interesting would be delta load / idle?

No. Saved profiles are just that - saved and overwritten when new settings are saved. Saved profiles are not supposed to be wiped when you reset the CMOS, just any current CMOS settings. Its been verified as a bug by Asrock and their working on a fix.

I'll update this post as necessary for for anyone looking for verification heres a "before and after" comparing UEFI 1.5 to 1.6A

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

Verified fixed in UEFI 1.6A:

- Adjusting BCLK frequency results in the board failing to POST
- Disabling Spread Spectrum results in the board failing to POST
- "Good Night LED" option
- "Onboard Debug Port LED" option

Steps in the right direction indeed Once Asrock/Etrontech fix the etronxhci.sys BSOD issue you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't get any serious problems.

In the works to be fixed in future UEFI releases:

- Full screen logo [Disabled] option is not saved into profiles
- Using Clear CMOS button results in all saved profiles being wiped!

Asrock admit the latter of those issues could be quite tricky to fix, so give them some time on that one.

Yes, I'm back to 1.33A bios version too.
1.42 works really bad and my H24 got plenty BSOD while gaming (0X124 most and 0X01)
1.50a works well at start (6.20 SPI 32M @ 5.4GHz + no BSOD while gaming) but last 2 days, I got BSOD while surfing or doing nothing (0X124 and even a 0X0A7 ???)

I do not recommend last 2 bioses for Extreme 6

[radier]

What Voltage do you use for that 5,4GHz? Maybe your CPU demoted?

[Aladdin]

Guys, please tell me how can I keep my 2500k multiplier stop fluctuating ? Ive disabled Speedspeed,Spread Spectrum, Powersaving , increase the power level to 255/255/300 but doesnt help. According to CPUz 1.57, at idle the multiplier jump down to 16x, under load up to the desired one i.e 46x.

Im using 1.60A bios, should I change to old one ?

Thanks !

Flashed to 1.50Bios, same thing, wth!

disabled all C stats ALaddin

YEAH, it works, thanks mate =D
