You're saved profiles will still be there, HOWEVER you are always better off re-entering all your settings manually. MOST of the time after flashing to a newer Bios version,the saved settings raise havok with your system.

BIOS flashing process worked flawlessly from a USB key after patching the BIN file with some SLICk data. Apart from the now known issue of the screen not clearing before showing up the Intel RST screen, I've actually lost some performance with my single SSD. Crystal disk mark shows a loss of 2-10 MB/s on all categories but 4K writes which got a 10 MB/s boost. Besides my WEI score for storage went from 7.7 to 7.5 .
I'll try a new Windows installation later this week to see if I can get different results.

When you are in RAID mode and you have drives which are not in RAID on the controller, they are basically controlled by the AHCI BIOS. (During boot, the AHCI BIOS gets loaded first and then forwards what its info to the RAID BIOS). You should see no difference.
Flashing the BIOS did not delete my OC profiles.

That is the one thing i am always trying to say. If your drives already performed the way they are advertised or close to, no BIOS update will speed things up but just break it.

What are you talking about? That's not what I said at all. The BIOS update does not break the RAID array (at least not for me and most of the people who tried but there seem to be a risk for some) and showed significant RAID mode improvements for those who use the drive in RAID mode. We wanted the BIOS option ROM update. I am not sure why one would have expected an improvement with single drives but the point is, the BIOS is very beneficial. Again if you are happy, stay happy and stop trolling.

There seems to be a text bug on boot. The Intel RAID controller flashes by faster than usual, then JMicron1, JMicron2, and under the JMicron2, the rest of the Intel RAID listing shows up. Seems just a glitch though. Everything works fine so far. I have the 760 board.
Yes, we are looking to see if we can Clear the screen after JMicron loads. (On E770 it shares the screen with the Marvell controller)
Jacob, if it helps at all on my E759 with Bios 78 my Intel NIC card's PXE rom loadded under JMicron2 like people are reporting the second half of the raid rom listing is now, but on 80 my Intel NIC is posting right after the AHCI and before JMicron1 in its own screen. I only have 1 drive plugged in though so I don't know if that will change when there is more then 1 and the Intel raid rom actually shows up on the screen (when only 1 drive is detected by the AHCI rom, the Raid option rom doesn't load). Going to test that when I get home later.

Is it recommended to uninstall IRST prior to updating, or is it okay to just install the newer version right over the previous one?

Not to rain on your parade or anything but this obsessive need to update drivers to the hilt is really unnecessary and sometimes can lead to issues. These INF pacakages are accumulative and generally don't impact specific performance boosts or enhancement to older chipsets still contained in the matrix. Mobo mfg's typically post the latest "applicable" and proven driver sets on their support pages. If it ain't broke, don't mess with it is a good rule of thumb. Food for thought...

Not true at all, driver updates improve stability and performance most of the time, yes the Intel chipset driver may not offer much performance improvment but stability definatly, not to mention when I updated the Intel chipset (INF) driver I've actually seen it put in newer driver version compaired to and older Intel chipset (INF) to the chipset (ie USB, SMBUS, ect) Yes I know most likely it will not provide most user with any addional performance or stability but the whole reason for driver updates is one to add newer support for new products and to fix problems with older products.

30 plus minutes LOL still blinking at the same screen "HELP"
You used the CD method? Let me do a test here.
Ok just tried using a CD instead of a DVD and still the same thing happens it just sits there at the Bios screen blinking "Please input File Name" , I had this same problem with the last bios and im still using the Bios that came on my Classified3, I never had this problem with my Classified MB ,installing bios was a piece of cake, this Classified 3 MB is killing me..

Hey Jacob when i disable the Marvel controller (I am not using it). Everytime I restart i get a update success on the DMI pool screen. If i re-enable it it doesnt happen. This is on the Classified3 with Beta 80 BIOS. No Performance issue just an annoyance.
Also I flashed my Classified3 with a DVD-R so its not the boards that are the issue. I would try a different disc or maybe clear CMOS prior to flash. (For people who are having trouble with the classified3)

I have tried clearing CMOS prior to Bios flash and it still hangs up at the bios screen , I also tried burning the disc on 4 diiferent machines and now tried the CD method and still get the same results..

X58 3X SLI - 758 Core i7 920 C0 Corsair H50/Corsair TX750W 6x2GB (12GB total) Corsair Dominator 1600MHz, have tried this all the way down to 1 stick, and a known good G.SKILL stick 2xEVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 SuperClocked, have swapped cards around and dropped in a known good GeForce 8800 card SB X-Fi Fatal1ty PCI - have removed this No RAID in use - just straight AHCI Intel 160GB G2 SSD, have disconnected this WD Caviar Black 1TB, have disconnected this LG BDRW/LG DVDRW drives, have disconnected both of these Rock solid prior to BIOS upgrade, this is actually the first time I've had any trouble. Continuing to try stuff here..so far not much luck.

I went back to BIOS 78 and now my RAID Configuration with ICH10 is showing up, with bios 80, its completely missing. Jacob or whoever EVGA tech sees this message, please note this BIOS didn't work with my e579 and i'm missing ICH10 WITH raid 0 configuration. For those who its working congratulations.. I will wait and try installing this when its actually released from beta.

I just tried this, but cannot reproduce! Are there any other options that you changed in the BIOS?

Happy as i am that the "Rom" issue may be near to being put to bed, so to speak. The thing that i would love to be "fixed" most is Vcore droping along with the multi when speedstep is enabled.
This is a very very basic action with all i7's, and indeed WORKS and has always WORKED with every other make of x58 mobo i have owned. The fact that it dosn't work, and has NEVER worked, despite repeated requests to sort it out beggers belief. I have owned the E760 in my sig since it's release and have asked for this to dealt with at various times. Not once has Jacob even said those infamous words "we are looking into it". Well Jacob, even if you had said those words...................................it should have been sorted within Days, not years, of the release of the mobo.
I just tested this at default settings with a 920, and vcore is dropping properly when speedstep is kicking in. Are you manually setting a voltage? if so this may be why, but I will do more testing.

So, this has never worked for you and its not a BIOS 80 issue? just clarifying. If so, I think you are the only one with the issue. I have overclocked for last 2 years to various degrees with manual vcore and never seen this issue. If C1E is selected in BIOS, the vcore falls when the CPU idles.

That's great to hear as I notice that the CPU VCore voltage has never dropped along with multiplier when Speedstep is enabled after I'd set CPU VCore voltage manually since BIOS 77 for motherboard E770.

Now, I don't remember what BIOS version I am running but I may not be running the 74+. So, was this introduced in 74?
