Q: I tested it with version 77 and 78, I see that in the Classified SR-2 the problem was solved with a bios update The Following has-been updated in A50: Below adjustability Uncore Improves 20X multiplier
Answer Date: 02/04/2011
A: Sebastian, Your CPU does not have an unlocked multiplier, no BIOS update will change this physical limiation of the Xeon x5650. The BIOS update your referring to was for the 980x, which has an unlocked multipler. Regards, EVGA

Q: I do not mean the core multiplier, if not the Uncore multiplier, in my Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 I can change the Uncore multiplier from 20 to 15, after the update cpu microcode http://forums.evga.com...x?m=630168&mpage=1
Answer Date: 02/05/2011
A: Hello, Does it give you an option to change the uncore. Or is it not saving the option at lower values. Can you give us more details? Thank you, EVGA

Q: I can change the values, but have no effect. if I set 15x the Uncore remaining at 20x, has no set lower values. the UNCORE multiplier is locked at 20x, no matter what frequency you put on your bios it always show 20x on CPU-Tweaker and CPU-Z

I decided to update the CPU microcode myself.

Intel AHCI ROM 1.20E update

Is that the ROM update dejahn has being trying to integrate into the BIOS, or is it something else?

Hmm...  then maybe they should collaborate and get the new BIOS to work?
 
If they could, perhaps they could then send it to eVGA so that an official release would be forthcoming sooner rather than later.

Edit: Got to give credit where credit is due...it works.

Yeah, I can confirm that it works on the E759.  I am really curious to collaborate with you and see if we can come up with something in regards to the RAID ROM, conflicts caused by the PXE ROM, etc.

This does not have the updated RAID Rom, this is just AHCI.
 
We are still working directly with Award on integration. At the same time we are looking to update CPU Microcode, Jmicron, AHCI and RAID Rom.

In eVGA, I trust and am definitely looking forward to nothing lesser than perfection from my X58 Classified3 E770 motherboard.

Which modded BIOS did you test? The 78N? 78M from Dejanh?

I believe you will find similar differences by simply re-running the benchmark.
 

I was just standard measurements to compare.
The original  Bios brings more Game performance to my system.
