Ok ASUS have given me a BIOS for the Rampage Extreme which finally fixes the CPU VID Ratio Error for the QX9650 from a COLD BOOT and also addresses a few SATA issues too. However they do not seem quite so keen to resolve the BIOS BITS MSR and SMI Latency issues.

If that, please keep the 003 BIOS for your motherboard.
And about MSR errors, may I ask you about something more? As we did not use the tool you mentioned before, so we still could not confirm what the detailed function of the tool, and what the actual purpose you would like to get.
If now the 003 BIOS could solve the VID error, do you still need us to support you about the MSR error? And are the error affect your operation on the motherboard? What could not work well? What do you need us to support?
Thanks for your cooperation and sorry for any inconvenience.

Best Regards,
What would my best response be to this message?
