Thank you very much sir.
I'm running really solid now on 1005. It has been treating me better than 1101. I also increased my RAM to 32GB (from 16GB) over the weekend with no reduction to the CPU overclock or memory speeds needed. Awesome! Right now I'm totally thrilled with this RIVE based system.
LOL...although I'm usually really eager to try the new BIOS releases, I'm a bit hesitant on this one.
Any insight on whether 1103 might address anything that made 1101 a little less stable than 1005 on some systems??
Thanks Shamino! You rock.
How about some more details? Thanks.Quote:

there was one possible thing, but that is only different in safe mode (ie after oc fail or clear cmos), after load defaults or oc they should be the same in this area so i dont think its that, only way to tell is if u test this and it drops back to 1101 standards then i guess maybe this weird thing
Hello Shamino, and thanks for the new bios. I wanted to know, if have you also improved support for Logitech G19 Keyboard?
I've open also a thread in that i talk of this problem with keyboard.
For now i solved at the problem, changing USB port and it work fine

Thanks Shamino... Changelog please?
You have been busy :)
minor fix of dual gpu VGA detection bug in bios's GPU/DIMM post screeen
Thanks for answer! But the BIOS 1103 and 1201 are official? The 1201 also includes the fixes of 1103?
I'm going to give the 1201 a shot tonight when I get home. What the heck, I can always revert back if needed. I cannot resist the temptation of a new BIOS :D
I will flash and run for a while and report back.
ill try 1103 tonight as well and report back my findings. thank you!
Flashed to 1201. All seems fine so far. Overclock and stability seem to be holding nicely. ....but I will need to push it more tonight and this weekend to know for sure.
does this fix my bluetooth issue? ;) thats all i want.
ok i know i said i was going to flash 1103, but downloaded 1201 for the R4E, and ran prime all night last night as well as 99-100% load on both GPU while BitMining. I am OC'd to 4.3 right now and all tests ran great last night with no crash. So far so good.......
GPU's are OC'd to 1100/5950.....i wish i got the ASUS Direct CU II GPU's.......
I'm having an issue with the bluetooth driver i have that yellow ! symbol and unknow device. And when I install the drivers using the disc it seems something is blocking the windows update service I tried to start the services up and re-boot still not resolved I don't know which driver is causing the issue.
With the 1201 BIOS update seems everything is able to be installed properly and I was able to install drivers from the mobo disc as well. Able to update the bluetooth drivers as well.
Once again thank you Shamino!! Any chance of rolling in the new Intel Sata ROM that the Intel branded X79 boards have?Quote:

Testing will continue the rest of the weekend.....
When you update the bios, do you have to put in all the old settings again? Is there a way to save them so you can reload them easily?
Nope you can not save a profile from an old bios and use it with a newer one. Best to just jot down your settings and give them a whirl with the new bios.
The reason is because the bios change is making fundamental differences to the way that the hardware interacts together. So one setting that worked say or bios version #5 will not work on bios version #6
Thanks for clearing that up HiVizMan. My overclocks on 1103 were not stable at all, moved on to 1201 and all is well again.
1201 has been FANTASTIC for me! Thank you ROG team! You guys/gals are the best in the biz.
Thanx for clearing that up mate. One more question, if I use the "Copy BIOS1 to BIOS2" feature, does that copy only the bios version, or does it also copy the settings ?Quote:

I must so i was able to get higher overclock with 1201 than any other bios so far... and not just higher clock... Higher clock with LESS voltage! Way to go ASUS!:cool:
1201 has been validated....by me:)
Of course your mileage may vary!!!
Hey Guys,
Any news on when this bios will be official? or is it already official so to speak just not uploaded to asus's website?
Thanks
its on the way up there
What? Shamino publishing it on here ain't 'official' enough for ya???Quote:

I am not totally surprised to hear this. I also think 1005 is the most stable BIOS I've used. 1201 allows me to get higher overclocks for benching and pushing the limit where long term stability is less of an issue, but it seems that 1005 holds a higher overclock for every day use. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well.Quote:

I think what might be occuring is that I knew my limits with 1005 and was using my max daily overclock for normal day to day usage. When 1201 came out I decided to see if it helped my OC so I began testing the limits again. Indeed, I was able to boot and bench at 5.2Ghz, but it wasn't fully stable. I could never reach 5.2Ghz with bench stability using 1005 at all. So 1201 "felt" better. When I reduced my clock back down to my daily settings, I did get a crash with 1201 that I hadn't had in with 1005 after weeks of use at the same settings. Since that crash 1201 has continued to run just fine the last few days.
Thinking back on this now, I know when you are changing settings alot and making many reboots, you can bring on instability on otherwise stable settings due to the memory learning at each boot. I'm going to stay with 1201 for the next week at my usual settings and see what occurs. I have a feeling that if i leave it where it is it will run just as stable as 1005. Hence my recent "validation."
MDZCPA I undersand what your saying and indeed it is the memory timings that can cause this problem. These memory settings do change from boot to boot especially the odd subtiming which can and do effect 100% stability at the limits of hardware. What I do to elevaite this problem is Test, ensure stability, take a screen shots of Memtweak including all subtimings. Reboot. Enter all the subtimings manually from my screenys. Thus avoiding any changes during training effecting stability as the timings etc all remain the same constanly.
On 6b bios you can also set warm boot to avoid memory retraining. This is an extra option at the bottom of the DRAM settings page. Not sure why this option is not in the none xtreme bios's only Shamino could answer that.
Hope this helps those having minor stability problems from boot to boot. It certainly has helped me to elevaiate this problem.
Good info! I'm going to notate all my timing and sub timing settings that are stable. Thanks!Quote:
