Hello Product Managers & Technical IT Specialists
 
May I kindly ask you to give us an "official" status about this "A53" BIOS Upate? Any timeframe for an European Release Date?
Every customer that I sold a SR-2 MLB and assembled the system want to have an answer, of course from me, because I installed them (my ear is already red and hot because of the phone calls from the customers/end-users because they read somewhere about the A53 BIOS) - until now I told them: wait, wait, wait, the system won't be 100% faster there will be sure an information from EVGA and after I tested it by myself and decided if it is necessary or not to update I'm going to inform you for an update - never change a running system, no? But just an official statement from your side would be very nice and helpful.
 
But from my side, if some very well known issues during setting up the bios, saving profiles, loosing settings like time and date, etc. - and the A53 could solve or correct this and others, would be a big "time gain for me "...
 
Thank you for any usuable information!
 
Kind regards,
Cyberlion

    Would be nice to have more information. To wait new or try to work out problems with existing ones.

    My board was working fine and stable with tuned settings 2 weeks. After one reboot no post (indicating memory problems). Starting from defaults able to post again but no matter the settings can run only bclk 5-7 lower. Sometimes not posting anyway and then all the settings gone. Starting from scratch to enter everything :( Very often can`t change NUMA after inserting correct value and rebooting, take several restarts and sometimes long time CMOS clear needed. I can`t find solution, 3 different versions A47/48/50, all behave the same :(
    Please, please, please let me know how long it should take with new bios.

    what i tell you, and that bios is from Evga.
     
    C1E option is added in A53 beta bios.
     
    and they are working now on more fixes and options adding.
    I collected from many users the most important fixes and options to add and submitted them to Evga.
     
    as soon as they have a newer one to test, i or Evga will let you all guys now here on forum.
     
    they are putting a lot of time in enhancement of bios for SR-2,
     and people have to understand that they don't have time to respons to multiple topics about the same issue.
    On time they will
