What kind of issues do you mean @Super Gnome ?

A few who had recently installed the new 3006 BIOS had issues where on all default BIOS settings our CPUs were stuck running at idle at 4200 MHz plus (9980xe normally idles at around 1200MHz) and getting CPU core temperatures at idle at 72 degrees C (vs normal at 35 or so) and rising up to into the nineties. In my case, my cooling did nothing to counter this either (also a strange problem). Reverting back to the previous BIOS rid us of these problems completely, but since 3006 addressed some stability problems we wanted it. My computer at the time was crashing with regular BSODs--hence the desire for a more stable BIOS. (All issues are fine now, with the older BIOS and addressing the other issues. Some of us though, like to have the peace of mind that comes with a more stable BIOS if it works correctly. I am averse to tinkering, too, if not needed, and have never tinkered with the BIOS except for minor issues).
