X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

Did you build this R3 from scratch?

I mean did you also replace the Option ROM again in your last R3 build because I see a major improvement to mount my HDD in Ubuntu. With R2 it took a few seconds before the HDD was mounted.

no R3 is R2+microcodes.

no R3 is R2+microcodes.

I've also found another major improvement. The SMI latency dropped by 4 us with this BIOS. Going from 511 us to 507 us.

I think that I discovered the most important fix that was ever done in the ASUS Rampage Formula BIOS history. I still can't believe it and I want someone else that also has this issue to try it out and confirm it.

Halleluja!! Praise the Lord! Loadline Calibration is fixed with 1002B-R3.

I used to have this issue, however only with certain combination of settings (and this was totaly random)... at the end i found certain combination that worked fine for my overclock... anyway i didnt pay any attention to this since then and to check it i would again need to go play with overclock settings and do testings and im not sure if im up for it... its summer and its hot, dont want to torture my computer more then its neccessery

It's working but it doesn't mean that I can use it. There's still the 0x124 BSOD issue and now it's only a matter of time before one gets triggered if I enable LLC. But someone should try it out that doesn't have this 0x124 BSOD issue with his board.

I have LLC ON all the time from early bioses. 0x124 seems not to be related to LLC at least for my case, unless this has been broken in latest bioses.
But funny thing is that lately all my 0x124 will only happen minutes after boot and not after more than 4 hours of playing.

I know that it doesn't have to do anything with LLC. The problem is that if I enable LLC I always run in to a 0x124 BSOD no matter if it's at full load or Idle. With LLC disabled I can at least have it stable running and the 0x124 BSOD onlu happens under full load with Prime95 or LinX. I also know that it isn't the CPU that is faulty. I'm almost 100% sure that it's a BIOS bug because before updating the Microcode it was almost impossible to boot in to Windows 7 with LLC enabled.

How long are these Microcodes already available?

I think long enough to say that ASUS doesn't care if you've got issues with there board.
