Fixed, Thanks to Jacob. (Talked to him to get it fixed :P)

Anyone try dejanh's modded bios with the Intel 11.5.0.1111 OROM?
 
Be nice to see if it loads, but don't really wanna flash an Alpha firmware to my Raid 1 controller
 
People were having mixed results with Asus boards, but they use different tools to modify their Bios files.

ok is this a revised bios or still the one which a lot of people had problems. I had reboots with the old (?) 83.

This is BIOS 83... the one dejanh posted is also BIOS 83, but with the new RAID ROM added in which probably won't help the reboot issues.

I have a quick question or two. first I have the BIOS shown below from AIDA64. Not sure exactly what the number really is, but it's the original BIOS that came with the board. Is there someplace on the EVGA site I can get a copy of this BIOS file, just in case I have a bad flash or some other problems and want to go back? Edit: For some reason the pic didn't show up here, if I remember correctly the BIOS string was "IX58S2W"

 
I don't see an IX58S2W- I think you're missing a letter or number.
If you have the standard X58 3-Way SLI board, you can find hvymetal86's detailed BIOS changelog with download links here:

If you have trouble figuring it out feel free to ask questions.
 
Before downloading a new BIOS, verify the part number of your motherboard matches what you're downloading!  (an example would be 132-BL-E758 The four digits E757 are the important ones when looking at the part number)

Second, I've heard a lot of ups and downs with BIOS 83, can someone tell me whether or not I should update my BIOS? Would I actually gain anything, or am I just asking for trouble? 

Thanks!

 A lot of new options have been added to the BIOS, which can be confusing.  Some of the default voltages and timings have been changed as well, so you might have to spend time learning about the new options and figuring out what voltage and memory timings you need (since your old values might not work).  You can look at the BIOS changelogs and decide for yourself.  Questions about whether you should upgrade to a new BIOS would be:

• Are you upgrading to a newer CPU?
• Are you upgrading to RAID (or a larger RAID array)?
• Are you upgrading to Solid State Drives?
• Are you going to be using Virtual Machines (VMs)?

 
If the answer to any of those is yes, then upgrading to BIOS 82 would be my recomendation. 
If the answer is no to all of them, then you probably wouldn't gain anything.

If I install this, will this limit my abilty to add a eSATA (RAID) card in the future?
 

Where do I get that info? Just booted and besides the quick BIOS splash screen (which went by too fast), I went into BIOS and can't find the version anywhere. Do I have to boot to the BIOS update CD and (hopefully) use some info option?
Be kind
 

How come in the list if CD iso's, I don't see one for FTW3?

Well that scares the hell out of me, since I use the Intel controller in RAID mode.
So your saying If I flash my Intel RAID sets won't work?

No, that is not what I am saying at all, It was in response to this:

I was letting you know that you might run into an issue down the road if you start adding additional bootable cards into your system, as you are using the Intel controller in RAID already/

Greetings! At me motherboard X58 FTW3 132-GT-E768-KR. I to download last version bios 83. At attempt to instal through program WinFlash 1.94 writes an error "BIOS file size does not match with MainBoard BIOS!". What to me to do? I was already tired! And file E76883.bin has the size 2Kb, and should be?

Maybe actually reading would help out a lot
     170-BL-E762 - EVGA X58 Classified 4-way
         141-BL-E760 - EVGA X58 Classified
         141-BL-E759 - EVGA X58 Classified
         132-BL-E758 - EVGA X58 SLI
         141-BL-E757 - EVGA X58 SLI LE
         121-BL-E756 - EVGA X58 SLI Micro

So how long before EVGA releases a revision bios for this board? It's been along time and i sure hope it's not the end for this flagship product since the release of the Intel X79 Chipset.

You mean a version after 83?
No clue, wrong person to ask

Funny, you think he was talking directly to you? How often does this happen to you? (food for thought)

The BIOS provided have not been tested as I no longer have an EVGA X58 board.

What board did you get...?
I am thinking about getting a different brand board as well with the new 2011 socket and cpu's.

I decided to do some sub-zero benching so I got a Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC board.  If you are after regular BIOS updates though do not look at this board either.  I update all my own BIOS by modding.

So what exactly are you doing when you mod the BIOS?
are you including additional features or something?

Updates to on-board controllers, specifically Intel RAID/AHCI, Marvell RAID, JMicron, Realtek, etc.  That type of stuff.
