I went back to 0802 on my Omega. Tried a modded 3006 bios, but 0802 is still my "go-to".

I am on an Omega, and with the last 3 bios versions performance took a big hit. Unless you were having problems with 3006, just flash it back to 3006.

Did you try rolling back to an older bios version? On my Omega, 3201 was a terrible performer and needed quite a bit more voltage for a stable OC. I rolled it back 2 versions via bios flashback....

You want microcode 29, not 49. Microcode 49 is for Skylake-X and you have Cascade Lake X. I have found bios 3201 requires much more voltage when overclocking compared to 3006. However, this is with...

Well today was a success! I modded my first bios and flashed it successfully. I am now running bios 3006 with MC29 on my Omega. Of the last 3 bios updates, 3006 was by far the best for overclocking....

I have tried all of the recent Omega bioses. Bios version 0802, which contains MC29, outperforms them all. However, bios 3006 will allow me to lower my core voltage which drops temps a bit. The 2...

Bios 0802 uses MC29, which from what I have read is one of the best performers. Probably due to less impactful security patches. I was running the latest bios, then went to 3006 which IMO, overclocks...

EDIT to my post above. Have since switched to 0802 and I am seeing pretty significant performance improvements with my 10980XE. No issues yet...

@tistou77, any chance of Rampage VI Omega 3006 bios with MC29? Just flashed the "regular" 0802 bios into the Omega, which has MC29, and performance seems improved. For example, Cinebench R15 went...

I flashed 3201 onto my Omega when I switched from a bare die 7900x to my 10980XE. I couldn’t get a decent OC without high temps or just plain instability. A few nights ago, I went to Asus’ website...

I was using it for a while and decided to try an older version (3006). With 3201 my 10980XE needed 1.27 to hit a stable all core 4.8OC. Max temps were ~86C. I loaded all of the same settings into...

I flashed the 3006 MC49 Bios and when checking the microcode in the bios, MC49 was not there. Still the same microcode as the non-modded bios. That has me a bit confused. I thought maybe that MC49...

On another note, has anyone running the previous bios on their Omega noticed any OC instability with the newer bios?

I guess I'll try and use the previous bios for my Omega which has been modified with the older microcodes to see if I can get any more out of my OC.

Right now I am running the latest bios and all 18 cores at 4.7Ghz at 1.2V. Temps go to ~83C after a half hour of RealBench. So far no issues. I know people are running older bios versions and...

Sorry, I am a little "late to the game", but I recently swapped out my bare-die mounted 7900X for a 10980XE. I couldn't pass it up for $809. Anyway, I think I did something stupid. Before I swapped...

Seems like you have an Ok starting point. I would raise LLC to 4-5, it just depends on how low voltage drops under load. For an overclock like you want to do, I would overclock by specific core. That...

Not very attractive IMO. No more live dash and it looks cheap. Not only that, I don't think the R6EO needs a monoblock at all. My VRMs never get above 44C and that is during bench marking. Under...

What does microcode 59 change on the Omega 0504 bios? Not saying I am going to switch as 49 is working great with 0504, but I was just curious.

Props for tistou77 for the modded Omega 0504 bios. Works great with the 49 microcode and TJMax is back to 105 (instead of 110) for my 7900X which is where it should be. Thank you so much for this!

My box was not shrink wrapped or sealed in any way. So, in theory, one could open it up and look at it before it was sold/bought.

Bought the same card, jumped through so many hoops to get the free game I forget how I actually got to the download page. Should not be this hard.

I have a custom fan curve set for my HS fans and they have yet to turn on. Max temps so far have been ~49C and that is bench marking it for a while trying to stabilize my OC. In normal use, the VRMs...

My new build:

Case: Lian Li PC011 Air
Board: Rampage VI Extreme Omega
CPU: Intel 7900X
GPU: ASUS Rtx 2060 Dual
Memory: 32GB 3466 Corsair Vengence RGB
Cooling: Evo Supremacy RGB, X-RES 140...

Wow, impressive temps too. Surprised at your vccin at 1.8V. My 7900X seems to need ~1.96 to be stable (unless I am doing something very wrong).
