Hey thanks for posting that, it is about time some real info came about. Irene knows her stuff.

@bartman, how did you get your board not flash the backup as F7? My board did when i only flashed the main. Can you flip to see if F7 didn't flash on the backup? Maybe you did something different through flashing? If you fail and the BIOS is corrupt on F7, thenone F7 BIOS like F4F will still flash over F7, it doesn't go through qflash to flash the backup, so there would be no problems in that case.

I just tried all my BIOSes, all the public and non-release BETAs, and none of them wanted to flash back. It doesn't seem we lose anything important, and if F7 is what they are saying then they fixed an issue with the PWM. If GB did anything to limit OC it would be limited by the heat of the VRM, and in the most extreme cases the board would have NO issue. I saw a review on Guru3D and they put in there, the UD7 might not be good in cases of extreme overclocking, they actually got it backwards. Because of LN2 action the VRM is cooled through the copper in the PCB, and thus none of this VRM heat stuff will limit the OC at all. Same theory should apply here.


On the upside, F7 seems to have taken care of the majority of issues. I would hope some guys who had A6 error would see if it helped as BIOS F4F helped?
