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

I have been running Vantage with this bios and it has improved my scores by about 1%.

No good for me. Just like the last update this one won’t hold my clocks. If I turn the computer off for a while it loses my over clock. Back to S61B for me!

Here's what I think of your silly bios Jacob. Look what it did to my system.
 

 
Now what are you going to do about it?

I have a similar setup to you, 975 EE and EVGA E760, 6 GB of Corsair Dominator GT 1866 MHz ram and my pc is running fine with this Bios, I’m @4.4 and it passes the linx test

I was able to get to 4.5 GHz on my over clock. Ran prime95 and LINX and passed with no problems. I ran MW2, LFD2, and Crysis(and a few others) with no issues. The problem I have had is that after I shut down my computer it will lose my over clocks. I’m not sure what the issue is, but I don’t have this problem with S61B.
If anyone has any ideas I would be glad to hear them.

Did you check your battery and power supply?

This BIOS update caused me to lose nearly 2,000 Vantage points. The only redeeming factor here is that Nvidia just released a new video card update which added 800 of those lost points back, but I'm still down almost 1,000 points. Very disappointed, especially after reading that some people are actually seeing increases in Vantage scores.

Everything else about the update went fine, no issues at all. I installed like usual. Cleared cmos, applied update, cleared cmos again, then applied all of my overclock settings.

The only disappointment is the loss of gpu performance. What's odd is my cpu score went up, but the gpu score went way down.

there is no floppy onboard so u need to use a usb floppy drive or u may try the usb stick flash

Anyone getting better overclocks with this bios?

Where to find the bios archives versions?

enable or disable hpet when overclocking ?

Would Hpet solve weird BSOD issues on a system that passes 50 runs of LinX and 10 hours of Prime95 multiple times with no problem?

Is Hpet disabled by default?

Just as an update guys, my rock solid 4.45GHz is now unstable with this BIOS update. I am in the process of running LinX to find a stable overclock again. So far, I have had to increase both VTT and VCore with all other settings being the same.

I am VERY close to reverting back to an older BIOS because this one is turning out to be junk in regards to performance for my system.

I keep locking up with this bios.  I shoulda left well enough alone.

Setting HPET to 64 bit mode makes my overclock unstable as all hell. So I left it at 32 bit

Anyone else experience this?

I had to look it up myself.  I looked several places and this made the most sense to me.

"The HPET can produce periodic interrupts at a much higher resolution than the RTC and is often used to synchronize multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the need to use other timestamp calculations such as an x86 CPU's RDTSC instruction."
