ASUS A7V 133 REV. 1.05 has been spotted!

[Martijnos]

This what somebody said at an other forum:

"Just for the records,
A7V133 mobo REV. 1.05 is out (bought it in Germany though).

Board supports RAID 1 as well and so 0+1 also.

Seems to be is even more stable (especially with user define voltage settings) than 1.04.

Also NO STICKER saying A7V133 on top of what previously was the good ol' A7V!!
Now the name A7V133 is originally marked on the mobo just like with every other ASUS mainboard."

More stable, how is that possible! Could it be possible that we get more raid options too with version 1.04? Or is that impossible to achieve with some sort of update?

About RAID options on the rev. 1.04, you just need a modified BIOS to get additional RAID options such as ability to define strip sizer and RAID 0 and 0+1 support. I am currently running mine (a rev. 1.04) as a RAID 0 with a 16 KB strip size (the original only allows a 64 KB strip size).

Mind sharing that bios? I'd like to know how to install it.

It appears that the board I ordered, which I'll be getting next week, is 1.05 too. I'll let ya know.

Hey Tomer Gabel,
Where did you order the A7V133 Rev. 1.05 from?
Please LMK.
Thanks.

Ah sh*t, I forgot to mention that I live in Israel... you probably wouldn't want to order it from here ($178 _here_, that doesn't include overseas shipping).

Sorry!...

Moderator: I've been around this place for ages, and haven't posted all too often. But this is outright ridiculous.

And please, no threats. This doesn't do anyone any good.

Well Premier Computer's Canada has the 1.05 revision in stock at the moment.

Where can we get the modified BIOS for the A7V133?

My rev. 1.04 just arrived today. Since I won't do raid (only one hard disk drive), I will just lose a little stability for my 1GHz Tbird. That's OK with me. It should be plenty stable to overclock just a little.
