Good question. I just got done testing 901 and I was wrong about the MB temp, it does stay within a 4C range.

The CPU temp is a different story though. In 901 running OCCT the CPU temp (70C) is within a few degrees of my Core1 temp (74C). With 0003 it is at least 10C lower while running OCCT and at idle the CPU temp is 10C higher than with 901, so I think that it is messed up. I am going to test 1301 later tonight and will report what I find.

I loaded 1301, I now think that this maybe correct and I apologize to the Asus Reps for my above rant.

My CPU temp with both 0003 and 1301 behaved pretty much the same.

All the below temps are in C.

With 901 the CPU idle temp was 37 and with 1301 it is 46.

Under load with OCCT my CPU temp with 901 was 71 and my Core1 temp was in the 70 to 74 range.

Under load with OCCT my CPU temp with 1301 was 63 and my Core1 temp was in the 70 to 74 range.

So now I ask do my CPU 1301 temps seem reasonable? My CPU idle temp is 46 while my Core1 idles around 40. My CPU OCCT load temp is 63 while my Core1 temp is 70 - 74. Does this seem reasonable because with 901 my idle was over 10 degrees lower and at load with OCCT it was close to 10 degrees higher than what I see with 1301. Also 1301 and 0003 are close to the same readings.

So what do you think?

Does the R3E BIOS also contain the BIOS & F/W for the Marvell controller? I am asking because I downloaded an updated ISO from Station Drivers with an updated BIOS & F/W for the Marvell controller.

With the ISO on a DVD I can load the Marvell update just fine. When I reboot the Marvell initialization screen shows the new BIOS.

The problem is that when I shut the PC down after the first reboot and boot again at the first R3E BIOS screen (the one with clock freq, ram freq) right after the amount of ram is displayed I get a message that that the ATA controller firmware is being updated and then when I get to the Marvell initialization screen the old BIOS is loaded back in. I tried to load the Marvell update four times last night and got the same results everytime.

For some reason the update keeps getting rolled back.

Can someone please comment on why this is happening?

**Brama** · 07-01-2011, 05:36 AM

The Marvell firmware is a part of the motherboard BIOS so, if you want to upgrade it, you need to substitute the old firmware with the new one in the motherboard BIOS itself.

**idahosurge** · 07-01-2011, 10:06 AM

So Brama do I understand correctly that if I am using Rampage III Extreme BIOS 1301 then the Marvell firmware is apart of BIOS 1301 and the only way to change the Marvell firmware is for Asus to update BIOS 1301 and release it as a new BIOS.

Raja, any release notes on 1401 R3E bios just released?
Maybe firmware updates for raid controllers?
Maybe re-add tRL? I still cannot use 1301 bios with my 12gb kit because it assigns tRL incorrectly.

**Raja@ASUS** · 07-02-2011, 10:12 AM

Wont know the change-log until next week - offices are closed. Soon as I know will post it up.

Tried new 0901 bios for Rampage III Gene and cpu temperature is still broken, core temps are showing about 40 but cpu socket temperature which controls fan speeds is showing almost 100 C and that crazy temperature reading puts fans at full speed all the time. Same thing happens with all bioses since 0602 version, just had to put that old one back in again.

Beta bioses ... by Shamino !

**IronAge** · 07-20-2011, 12:07 PM

Somebody who got a more recent Beta for the GENE-Z than the one @ the ASUS TW FTP ?

I know there is one which is supposed to have less droop with llc and OFFSET VCore.

When you got it at your hands please provide it.

**spoolindsm127** · 08-16-2011, 02:52 PM

I guess it's been past the point of any more R3E bioses / beta bioses...

My R3E isn't even 1 year old yet. I hope we get more improvements...

**Leeghoofd** · 08-18-2011, 07:09 AM

anyone tried the 7702 3D01 bios for the P67 Dlx board... very very unstable here...

**R37ribution** · 11-29-2011, 12:57 PM

Bingo, Asus, still out there? Any updates?

**zoson** · 11-29-2011, 02:11 PM

I really hope so, I'm hoping to get a r3e firmware with the raid0 trim enabled intel orom...

don't flame me cuz I haven't tried it, but I thought they updated the size of the intel rom from the smaller version to the standard size so that you could use a typical intel rom you can find online?

Last time I heard it wasn't. Do you know what bios it happened in? 1301 was still the smaller version.

Do you know of a tutorial online for integrating the orom manually?
