ASUS Intel Beta BIOS Releases and Official Support

[zoson]

Oh btw Raja, my ASUS Sabertooth would crash after 15 to 20 minutes of Intel Burn Test when I had 5 or 6 SATA hard drives on the intel ports, but not when I had 4 or less, have had to move things around so am using the marvell controller and no more than 4 intel sata ports, have not tried putting more than 4 on there since I updated to the 1606 BIOS, think it is worth trying or is there a limitation on the chipset?

This sounds like a problem with your PSU, not your motherboard.

Can you please confirm that on R3E and R3BE it is not technically possible to have automatic reduction of cpu voltage from full cpu load to idle when you overclock?

It was a very usefull BIOS setting in R2E which enables RELATIVE Vcpu with an OFFSET regulation, or an ABSOLUTE value which never changes.

He did confirm this. R3E and R3BE does not do absolute changes. I think it's because R3E and R3BE use digital power circuitry vs analog found on R2E.
