Thanks

I am also interested in this. Why no MEI firmware update?

[tistou77]

On the Asus forum, I found the ME Firmware 7.1.30.1142

Download here

backup old firmware: fwupdlcl.exe -save mybackup.bin
new firmware: fwupdlcl.exe-f 1142.bin

It's OK for me, If someone file .bin of ME Firmware 7.1.50.1172

This is the latest version available, ME Firmware 7.1.52.1176
I put the version 7.1.40.1142, and backup version 7.1.20.1119

To update, follow the post above
We must put the file .exe and .bin on a USB stick (bootable) and boot from it

With bios 2105, your OC (cpu and/or ram) need more voltage compared to 1xxx bios to be stable or it is the same?

Thanks

[D749]

Is there any way to output my current BIOS configuration, in text form, to a USB stick? I know we can take screenshots but a text file of all of my current settings would be ideal.

Thanks.

Guys, are you able to bench at any BCLK strap higher than 100mhz?

I have seen it in a review but is it rare? Is it hard to get stable? Is the mobo a factor in this or is it all cpu?

Thanks.

Mine runs 125 strap at 128.625 BCLK 24/7, 24h AVX Prime stable and will bench with the 166 strap just fine. Rare, no. Most chips will run the 125 strap without issue if you put the work in. Not many will run the 166 or 250 strap. If you're going to try for the 166 strap, start with the BCLK at 155 and if it'll POST, increase from there.
It's only slightly harder than overclocking with multi alone. It's just a matter of finding the proper voltage deltas for VCCSA, VTT, and PCH 1.8. Hope this helps.

Thank you

Next question is - do you think you could do this with a multi locked Xeon?

[Random Murderer]

I'm guessing so, but I haven't had hands-on experience with Xeons since LGA775, so it would probably be best to ask someone else.

[aussie-revhead]

I think I will give it a go, I'm still looking for the right CPU

[Breit]

Thank you

you should ask that the guys with an EVGA SR-X mobo, 'cause thats the only way overclocking works on this board...

new RST 11.6.0.1030
Compatible for X79 in AHCI (but not RAID, for the moment)

So ever since I got 680's in SLI I have had a few crashes. What voltage needs to be bumped up to handle the load on the lanes? Didnt have this problem when I was running 7970's.

[AquaRelliux]

Okey someting weird happen to my rive today. I have run my CPU at 4750 MHz for weeks(42x113) today when I rebooted the computer and went into bios to check a setting(I changed nothing). And booted the computer it will hang while loading windows and reboot. If I load optimized defaults it will load windows just fine, but not with my of profile that I have saved, also this profile have been prime and Linx stable for hours without a problem. If I lower multi on CPU to stress it less it will still hang when it is loading. Lowering memory speed doesn't help either. I am on bios 1404 should I give a update a go?

[AquaRelliux]

Is this thread dead?

[Breit]

I would update to 2103 and try the 125mhz strap, 'cause 113 with the 100mhz strap seems a bit risky.

What about 38x125? You dont overclock your pcie that way!

Damnit. Installed 2103 like two days ago... :-)

Thanks for the heads up.

I have problem with my board guys,
since i bought my R4E, it works perfectly, no problem at all, before two days i shutdown my PC normally, but today when i start it, the PC keep in non-stop rebooting, every 5 sec.
I pressed the clear CMOS in the back. then i start the pc again, and the same problem, im not even able to go to bios screen !

Any suggestions please

Thank you

[Random Murderer]

Have you tried using the second BIOS?

[aussie-revhead]

Guys, where do I find a list of debug codes for R4G ?



Edit:

Ok what does this mean:

62 - Installation of PCH runtime services



EDIT2:

I tried bios flashback and Nup its worse, I must have stuffed the flash. I ran the CAP convertor, flash wouldnt start, I renamed it ROM as the website says and it seemed to flash ok but now it tried to start, fans spin full speed for about half a second then shuts down and loops again.

[koc]

Yes i switch between the two bios, but no go
Also the did the following
- switch the memory to black slot, install only one memory stick
- remove the second VGA card, and switch between the PCI-E lane
- press the GO switch
- switch between the two bios

I did these all things but no boot, all lights on but no boot !!

But i notice that a red LED light is always on beside the 24 pin connector, and when i checked the manual, its related to CPU

Thank you guys

Your problem is known to me.
I noticed that this problem only appears on windows (no gnu-linux).
I solved the problem by disabling hibernation: powercfg-h off

[aussie-revhead]

What about my problem?



Dude - you have been a member here for nearly 5 years and that is your first post ??
