Just saw this posted on the ASUS RVE download page.

Post results here. I'll be trying it soon.

EDIT: Since it doesn't appear to be up on the USA version of the download page yet, you can find it on the global version here:

Okay, I installed it. Surprisingly, it went through the reboot procedure where firmware is being updated once going from 3101 to 3202, but only once instead of twice like it does going from anything before 3008 to 3101. So either one firmware's been updated again or one's been reverted. Here's the version numbers I got from the BIOS - I don't have them listed for 3101 so not sure which changed:

iROG1 - RGE1-X99-0515
iROG2 - RGE2-X99-0206
ME - 9.1.37.1002
Microcode - 2d (I know this one didn't change)

Booted up into Windows fine with memory at XMP settings. (I stopped using my 3000Mhz memory overclock a few weeks ago because one boot it'd be rock solid stable and the next it'd cause huge errors. I won't try it again until people start saying wonderful things about consistent memory stability on one of these BIOS).

Boot time *might* have improved. Hard to tell for sure yet. It's not slower than 3101, at least.

Is the XMP issue with 3101 bsod fixed with 3202?

UBU shows everything the same except the Broadwell-E microcode:

1 - Intel RST(e) OROM and EFI SataDriver
OROM IRST RAID for SATA - 13.1.0.2126
OROM IRST RAID for SATA - 14.8.0.2377
EFI IRST RAID for SATA - 14.8.0.2377
EFI AMI NVME Driver present
3 - LAN OROM PXE and EFI UNDI - Intel, RTK, BCM, QCA
OROM Intel Boot Agent CL - 0.1.06
EFI Intel Gigabit UNDI - 0.0.09
7 - Update Intel CPU MicroCode
Broadwell-E CPUID 0406F1 - 1A
Haswell-E CPUID 0306F2 - 2D

3101 had Broadwell-E microcode 19.

Couldn't say, I never experienced it, I ran fine on 3101 with memory on XMP for a while. (My 3000 Mhz overclock was, however, stable as a rock one day and completely unstable the next. which is why I've gone back to XMP).

In fact, I can confirm that 3202 still has the magic juice that 3101 also had that has been giving me much better memory read speeds in Aida benchmark. On prior versions (2101 and earlier) with same O/C on core (4.4) and cache (4.2) and memory at 2666 Mhz XMP settings, I was getting memory read in the 58k range. Now still over 62k.

Ok I was wondering because I recently updated bios from 1801 to 3101. I was 4.6 stable at 1.28vcore with just xmp enabled. After trying these same settings with 3101 and realbench, I got bsod at the computations part. I also tried going to 2101 and same issue. I also noticed that for 4.6, auto vcore was set to 1.44 volts lol..

Im hoping 3202 is the magic number, otherwise Im going back to 1801.

You only have to use rampage tweak mode 2 to increase those numbers in 2000 versions... At least in my system it does so...
Asus x670e Hero, 7950x, TG 7000, Master 4090, 970 PRO, 860 EVO, Intel 750,
SN850, SN750, 840 Pro, 2xSkyhawk 4TB, Pioneer S12U
EVGA T2 1600, Silverstone TJ11, Custom LC, Acer Predator x35, Philips OLED

The numbers I gave were with Rampage Tweak 2 mode in both BIOS versions.

Aida successfully ran for over 10 hours, btw. BIOS seems stable.

(Yeah, I know I get wacky VRM temp numbers. It seems every once in a while, for an instant, the temp is either multiplied or divided by 2.)

Same here, no problems running Aida stability for an hour so far. Gonna let it run overnight.

Btw, can someone who is still on 3101 post the firmware version numbers like I did for 3202 above, before they upgrade? Thanks in advance.
