Any word on what it helps/fixes?

 

[garikfox]

No there isnt srry.

 

[Superguy]

Guess I'll have to try it tonight to see how it goes. Maybe it will help the vCore.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Installed. Vcore the same as 1008.003. The only difference I noticed is that the PCI-e Frequency setting has a only a range of 100-145 and default is 100mhz, previously it was 200mhz.

 

[Superguy]

Man, what's Asus smoking with these releases?

 

[openwheelformula1]

Did you expect Magic?

 

[Superguy]

I just expect a non-buggy board and not to have its capabilities nerfed.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Every mobo has bugs and issues. Even DFI is coming out with new revised nf4 mobo's b/c of all of their issues that have fried mobo's and memory modules.

Personally, all of the issues of this board can be worked around, unless you have a case that inverts the motherboard.

 

[Superguy]

Well, I understand that there is never truly bug free hardware.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this was the most problematic build I've ever had, and I'm not very happy with how Asus has responded to the issues.

You can work around that just fine, remove the heat pipe.......

Any reason this isn't listed on the U.S. site yet?

I get the feeling this is a Beta release since most of the final releases don't have decimals.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Yes, it's beta. They haven't even come out with a Final version of 1008.

Got mine inverted. I have no problems anymore by glueing a cooler onto the heatblock on the mcp... 53°C under load.

Only change with new bios is the PCIe frequency then... no need to bother then.
