If your computers are configured with the default clock/voltage settings and none of the previous suggestions work, can I suggest that you try raising the CPU and memory voltages. The higher voltages might help because (I believe that) some of more recent BIOS revisions are not generally applicable to all hardware. BIOS A50 for example might work perfectly with some hardware but not so well on others (requiring higher motherboard voltages to achieve the necessary compatibility). I experienced a similar problem when A50 first was release. The simplest solution I found was to enable "DUMMY O.C." in the Frequency/Voltage Control section of the BIOS. The CPU frequency was not the issue (so you can lower it to 133 if you prefer). If your computer is like mine, it will post and then boot successfully into Windows 7 after enabling Dummy O.C.
If the higher voltages solve your problem, you can either overclock the motherboard or try an older BIOS revision. I did the latter and settled with revision A46 as best for my hardware and applications. Wish you guys the best.

Is that the only fix for this update?

Juan,

This was the correction for this update.

Is there something else you need addressed?

yeah my QPI voltage want that addressed in the next bios revision 

It's already there.
 
I'm booting of an OCZ IBIS right now (but really PITA to setup).

I can 100% confirm this. I tried all possible combinations with the RevoDrive and this board. The only working one was RevoDrive 1. Slot and win7 in SafeMode, which isnt really an option. Besides that I get bluescreens. Its a pitty, but I will exchange the RevoDrive now to two regular SSDs. that should work (hopefully) :)

I had the same problem, I gave up and installed SSD's instead, and yet 2 and/or 3 SSD drives do work, currently have five on the ICH10 2R0 and 3R0

Sorry to hear that Moontann.

But with CPU tweak  its very very not practice ( full manual )  and its a  software limitation is not stable and aplicable just in system, boot and in auther system type the C1E is alwayse ON.
 
   IT s incredible EVGA not work for a  REAL  new bios  for corect some error.

...and how did you menage to set affinity for CPU Tweaker when it autostart ???..doing it manually every time it starts is a nightmare...

 
Try duplicating CPU tweaker folder - rename one instance of CPU-Tweaker.exe to CPU-Tweaker_CPU1.exe etc etc.
 
Then use WinAFC or whatever to automate setting affinity....

Moon I had a similar issue with an Ibis drive that I got from the Egg. (Ibis and Revo drives use the same controllers). After wasting days and weeks screwing with OCZ's crud support I finally gave up. NewEgg did agree to give me a store credit for the full value of the drive when I explained that I had been waiting on OCZ to get their turds in a row. Brent may be the only person I know of that actually got the Ibis to boot but I finally went back to my original idea which was SSD RAID. Saves the PCI ex slots and avoids the Revo/Ibis arse pain install process. OCZ support was totally and completely lame. One of their "support" managers responded to my Egg review with a number to contact them. Four times I tried and still no word. They straight suck. On line and over the phone do not know what the other is doing and inevitably if you try each you end up wasting time waiting while they do the same thing all over again. Then when nothing works they just blew me off with,,,"well it appears your product is having issues and we'll be looking further into it in the future". ...Huh!? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Don't waste your time. Send it back and grab some SSD's Mine are up and running now and never a hick-up or a sneeze. No crashes, max'ed out on Win 7 exp. but haven't tried O.C.'ing anything as yet. Tell OCZ to work out their problems before they take people's money. If you call NewEgg back they will usually try to work with you. I returned mine about 4 1/2 weeks after buying it.
Shame about the Ibis though. They also had an interface card that would allow four Ibis drives to run in software RAID using just the one card slot. Had high hopes but they overflowed my crap bucket. Never again.

Would be good if BCLK could be set to lower than 133.

Hi I write from Italy , is a holder of a Evga SR-2 with two Xeon 5690, I have G.skill ram 12 gb 2000 mhz and trident is good, just plugged in the other 12 gb of Ram Corsair Dominator 2000 mhz 12 gb total 24 gb system slows me why? help me please? Thank you for your time Regards Rocco Ps. I do not write good s English

When you have 24Gb mem on you're SR-2 look with CpuZ what the speed of you're mem is.

Is possible that with 24Gb mem the SR-2 puts you're mem lower speed.

 
thanks for the response, the speed set the sr-2 with 24 GB of RAM? and where do I set it? thanks very much for the aid

Another request:
 
Provide ability to set memory timing details for each CPU independently, which is technically possible when configuring the memory controllers.  This will help people that don't have identical memory installed in each memory bank, and may also help with troubleshooting.
 

I really wish there was a new BIOS with some of the features requested. Most notable of them to me being the C1E enable/disable option. Seems their team is more focused on EFI firmware development on their new boards and has kinda pushed this system to the side for now. I work on server systems with EFI so I know how much work it can be to implement properly. Just dont forget the SR-2 EVGA :).

definitely need to sort this in the BIOS....any date for this fix ?
