Absolutely. As soon as I have a firm schedule on the other boards, we will post up the estimated release dates.

Yes, i did. But no luck with uncore multiplier, it is still locked at 20x on my retail x5650.

since someone mentioned in this thread, unlocking cpu tweaker support for P6T6 WS Rev would be nice - last time I asked Asus said specifically won't be unlocking it for cpu tweaker support - hope that stance has changed

**Marvin82** · 06-10-2010, 08:56 AM

Thx for New Bios

Have Asus actually updated the Option ROMs? Using a Intel RAID for SATA ROM of version 8.9.1 or a Marvell 88SE6121 Option ROM of 1.1.0.L70d is NOT cool when some of the latest versions are 9.6.0.1014 and 1.1.0.L73, respectively.

Yes, as the new ROM versions are qualified they will be updated.

subscribed......... any love for the ASUS Rampage Extreme?

**Anth Seebel** · 06-10-2010, 08:40 PM

Thanks bingo13,

RE: P6T Deluxe V2

1. Please add CPU PLL Voltage adjustments lower than 1.80V. ie. 1.1V and higher - this is handy for folks using subzero temperatures

2. Please unlock cpu_tweaker so we can change RAM values inside windows OS

3. Many folks have been asking for 980X support, but i presume this is already
on your list?

cheers in advance

I've extracted ACPI AML from RampageIII-Extreme-ASUS-0602.ROM, and disabled HPET, in attached archive you will find both .aml format, that must be replaced in original BIOS, and .dsl file to see(use any text editor) the modifications. I also commented the mods for easy understanding...
Do this at your own risk...

Have fun!

It's all about lowering the average DPC latency, which is a goal when doing extremely low latency audio recording. Gigabyte offers the option, and most every DAW system integrator is using gigabyte boards because of it and the TI firewire chipsets they offer.

I agree about the quality of the fireware chip, I always prefer to spend few more bucks and get a good stuff(not the case of my P6T7 WS SC that include a VIA cheap crap chip), problem is that OEM's never understand this and try to monetize every single penny...
And as final note, I'm stoned when I see top products still including PS2 crap instead a more useful port like serial(if they still want to get a extra use of Super I/O chip), common how long we have to wait to get rid of that?

Since I really don't know what you are talking about with your files above, I'm going to have to hope Asus decides to add the feature for us.
