whats new in it?

Sorry it took so long to reply...had login issues. Anyways, it is on the official ASUS download page now and it Improves system stability only; nothing else listed. That said, I reverted back to 1305 with the RAID OROM modified to the latest by BOLTS4BREKFAST; this BIOS is a nightmare for me-BSOD's regularly, dropping my RAID array constantly, cannot boot into safemode without crashing. The icons in the UEFI BIOS are always rendered only partially and flashing.
ASUS did not see fit to update any of the OROMs, but, added more tweak parameters for OC etc.

How is the speedstep working?

I always disable speedstep, so, can't say.

Since i updated the bios my Pc when i hit shutdown in windows 7 will shut down normally but once in awhile it will restart the competer instead of shutting down acting as if i hit the restart button on win 7 instead of shutdown. no error messages are showing up at all in the event viewer and no crashes either. it happened twice so far. Anyone else having this issue? Also when this happens the first boot screen that loads the hard drives and then says press any key to continue takes longer than usual. So far it only happened twice and ive been able to successfully shut down completly about 5 out of 7 times. its just wierd that it happens randomly like that.
