After trying the 2105 "C" Bios which update both Intel SATA/RAID ROM and ASMEDIA SATA/RAID ROM with Windows 8 Enterprise Build 9200 for a week. In term of performance with ASMEDIA UPDATED SATA/RAID ROM it was very amazing performance gain over 2105 "B" which only updated Intel's ROM. My tested use of Windows 8 PRO RTM ISO size 3.35GB with my system (see signature below:p not overclock anything) . 
First, here is 2105b performance under ASMEDIA USB 3.0 controller with TOSHIBA USB 3.0 External HDD when use "Optimize" command it seems my external drive cannot reach over 60MB/sec transfer rate at all. Let updated BIOS to UnixSystem's 2105C BIOS now. Follow me, 
Now after 2105c updated , I've throwing Windows 8 Pro RTM ISO 3.35GB from external HDD to my OCZ Vertex III 120GB connected with Intel's 6Gbps port. 
Again, but throwing from my SSD back to it origin :cool: 
Ultimately performance :), It's finally reach near 100MB/sec transfer rate under 2105C BIOS. 😮 Compare to 2105b 60MB/sec transfer without ASMEDIA ROM update with 2105c 100MB/sec with ASMEDIA ROM update. it was more than 33% performance gain under Windows 8 default driver.:cool: But there are debug code "40" on my RIVE. As reference code from manual it stand "System has waken up from S4 State " :confused: It's funny to hear that. Maybe my RIVE taken more sleepy pills by 2105C BIOS. It's rock!

Windows 8 does not really shut down, it only does a "hybrid" hibernate. The board has different codes for waking from sleep modes.

And I have a second (wife's) computer, Eve.
Overclocking is useless to me if it is not rock stable.

Windows 8 will hibernate the kernel and not the users session like in a real Windows 7 Hibernation, so when it boot it's faster . When you restart after install an update it will not hibernate the Kernel. The Code 40 is normal with Windows 8, I get it on my MIVE_Z too
if it's bother you that much, just uncheck the Turnoff fast start up and it will do a real shutdown and the code 40 will not appear anymore
