BIOS 64 Updates: - Adds 1.5x uncore support for B1 CPU
- Adds number of GPUs detected at bootup
- Adds RC/AC setting in memory timings
BIOS updating can be accomplished VIA the below methods:
CD/DVD Installation - Recommended installation method- Download the correct .iso file below for your motherboard:
170-BL-E762-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI 141-BL-E760-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 141-BL-E759-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 132-BL-E758-A1/TR - EVGA X58 SLI 141-BL-E757-TR - EVGA X58 SLI LE 121-BL-E756-TR - EVGA X58 SLI Micro- Use a CD Burning software to burn the .iso image onto a blank CD (Nero, Alochol 120%, MagicISO etc.)
- After it has burned, insert CD and restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
- Now set the CD Drive as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select CD as the bootable device.
- After flash remove the CD, and power off PC Completely.
- Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS
USB FLOPPY Installation - Recommended installation method
- Download the correct .exe file below for your motherboard:
170-BL-E762-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI 141-BL-E760-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 141-BL-E759-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 132-BL-E758-A1/TR - EVGA X58 SLI 141-BL-E757-TR - EVGA X58 SLI LE 121-BL-E756-TR - EVGA X58 SLI Micro- Insert blank floppy disk into drive and run executable
- After the floppy has written fully, restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
- Now set the USB Floppy as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select USB Floppy as the bootable device
- After flash remove the floppy, power off PC Completely
- Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS
USB Flash Drive Installation - Alternate installation method- Download the correct .bin file below for your motherboard:
170-BL-E762-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI 141-BL-E760-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 141-BL-E759-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 132-BL-E758-A1/TR - EVGA X58 SLI 141-BL-E757-TR - EVGA X58 SLI LE 121-BL-E756-TR - EVGA X58 SLI Micro- Visit this thread and follow the installation instructions. (thanks 30h6).
Warning:
**Do not restart or interrupt your PC while the flash is ongoing
**Do not Flash BIOS on overclocked settings
**It is always recommended to power-down after flash and Clear CMOS

We need a couple "guinea pigs" to go from SZ2Z to this and see how it works with E758's... Any volunteers?

HA... I just got 4.21ghz @ 1.37v Linx and Prime stable...BIOS updates have a way of mucking up OC's even when you put the exact same settings back in...I'll wait. I just flashed to 59 yesterday...what happened to...60-63?

No problems so far. Running at 3.8 at stock voltages and an hour of CAD rendering (the ultimate stress test if you ask me). 60-63 must have been bad luck. Or, this is better luck since 6+4=10, or 6*4=24, or uhh, never mind.
I like it so far.

Due to bios size restriction, the amount of coding being added makes it where they had to leave the logo out to allow everything to fit. So now you need to ask which is more important. The additional microcode and board tweaks that have been added since 2z or a pretty picture at bootup.

So what does this "Turbo Performance" option in BIOS do anyways? except for lowering my mem to 1280 Mhz instead of 1600

This is a setting that benefits 980x users only so just leave disabled.

980X-3003B475. 12Gb MGN-E For me, improved memory stability. From 1784 7-8-7-21 2T with 59, to 1784 7-7-7-21 1T with Shamino Beta64. Temps dropped 4 degrees, idle and load on Core`s, Cpu-temp still the same. No trouble`s so far.

If there is a benefit to this bios over sz2z then I may think about the update, as of now I see NO Reason to flash. I am on a i7920 with no plans to upgrade for a while.

No, there's little compelling reason to update to a newer BIOS if you're using an i7 920 (which is a 45nm CPU). So far it looks like the recent BIOS updates since then primarily benefit 32nm CPUs, while making things more complicated for 45nm CPUs.

... Since that's a 45nm CPU, I'd recommend keeping with the BIOS version you're using. Some users of 45nm CPUs have reported better overclocks with the newer BIOSes, while others have seen the opposite. So unless you just like to tinker for the fun of the challenge, I'd stick with what you have. Owners of B1 stepping 32nm CPUs (the 980x) should like this BIOS, though: the new UnCore:DRAM ratio opens a lot of overclocking potential and the new memory settings option will be something interesting to experiment with. Sub-Zero Cooling addicts with multiple video cards will probably like the fact that it shows how many GPUs were detected during POST.

If you are referring to the power-off/power-on that during a warm reboot that occurs when VT (Virtualization Technology) is enabled, then this BIOS should behave the same as 59 in the regards. bschwab355
Turbo Performance" how is helping my 980x?? I am running 2000Mhz ram and my system will BOD on me If enable this.
980x @ 4.5Ghz 145mhz bus 2000Mhz ram.
Sounds like you're already at your limit with 4.5GHz, you could try tinkering with voltages, or if you're happy with what you have, disable it. Turbo Performance is a more intelligent form of Turbo Mode, that under certain load conditions can add an additional bClock's worth of frequency to a single core, as opposed to just regular "TURBO MODE" which adds only one bClock's worth to all cores.

ok not sure about this bios but funny 2100 CL7 stable at 4.4ghz 2100mhz CL8 now is not.. rechecking this on 59 again.. could have been false positive was hoping this bios solves this mystery figuring out y also for the guy with 4.5ghz 2k ram.. hint cpu skew ..or could be the lack of ioh skew

Developers usually go through a number of versions before deciding which ones are worthy of/stable enough/etc to release to the public.
