Hey guys,
How long did it actually take to get your replacement chips?
I just got an email from support saying that it's going to take 1-3 business days to process and then another 6-8 days to arrive...
Having to wait nearly a week and a half seems unacceptably slow considering I paid a good chunk of change for this mobo and it didn't work on arrival...

Depends on your location. I live in Aus, so it took a little bit to get to me. They may not have the actual BIOS chips on hand, as they do have to order them. I would email Matt directly and see what he has to say.

Ok.
I've never had to replace a BIOS chip before. Is it dangerous/difficult? Also where is it on this board? Is it underneath that EVGA branded "Classified" plastic covering?
EDIT: Also does the new chip come with instructions?

You just open the clam shell like housing and remove the old and install the new, takes only a few seconds.

Same problem here. X79 arrived on Friday, (DIRECT from EVGA!) still has rev .025 BIOS in it. Emailed Matt, hopefuly will get replacement soon.
FIRST QUESION: My SLI has a two position jumper for the BIOS. Which one is postion 1 and which is position 2?
The replacent chip will work off of position 1, correct?
SECOND QUESTION: In reading through the forums, it was said to replace the chip, then flash the second BIOS with the first chip. How do you go about doing that?
THIRD QUESTION: What is the purpose of two (or more) BIOS'? Only one I can think of is if you wanted to boot into a different configuration. Then it would make sense to mount a switch so you can select BIOS without removing the cover.
Thanks all!
Terry

First: The replacement BIOS will be off the number 1 position, as for the jumper, I have a FTW not the SLI so mine is a switch not a jumper, so I cannot help you there.
Second: Sorry, can't help you there
Third: The purpose is so that if you have a bad flash down the track, you can switch to a different BIOS and still have a working motherboard.
Another reason is for people who bench, they can have different BIOS settings specifically for benching and then other profiles for general use.

@kris319
Kris where you able to resolve the issue you were having with the bios and not being able to boot up? I just built my new system. Went to fire it up for the first time and It would not boot off the win7 cd. I get the same error code as well 0d. EVGA told me I have to RMA the board and they will ship out a new MB with a new bios chip.... I'm speechless. I've never had an issue with a MB fresh out of the box like this. Very dissapointing.
