Ah... Another new BIOS. Thanks a lot for the info mate. :)
I see that you have already tested it. Notice any difference compared to previous BIOS? Please share...

I'll try the new BIOS too ASAP and see if it can solve my current voltage setting problem in the BIOS...

Didn't test much,but need a bit more CPU voltage than F9l.
Will see next week,if any new update will be available.

Thanks for the info mate.
However, I have tried the new BIOS too tonight. And alas, my voltage problem still persists. Seems that I still have to be patient for a longer time...

From my short test, I find that the new BIOS make my system boot faster, especially on the "Verifying DMA pool" section.
And when benchmarked by using Everest, it shows a slight better performance in all section compared to F9 official BIOS, but far better at L2 cache read and copy section, about 2000 MB/s difference. Wow!

Just flashed to X58-UD4P F9b and S3 issue has been fixed even with OC setting @ 3.8GHz.

I was using F8 bios and I can't resume from Sleep, just black screen.

New bios is a keeper :D

i7 920 D0, what's yours? and did you try F9a also?

and what do you mean by looping, does it do it when you resume from S3 or specified settings you change do that?

I never see any Bios updates for this AMD Phenom here. Why is that?

Ya--I'm back with 9A--it works well for me--as far as I know the only "real" change between 9A & 9B is the AHCI rom change....Could Stasio confirm that??

Constant rebooting at the point where AHCI detection happens--same setting with the older AHCI work as expected & I boot normally.

Edited my post--it's a D0--at least I think it is--I run only Linux--so can't use the tools you guys have---And before anyone talks about it--My system won't even get past AHCI detection, so I'm nowhere close to booting a operating system.....the older rom works without a problem.
