Before I begin, let me just warn everyone not to upgrade past 0703. If you need 22nm support, buy a new motherboard. Any bios post 0703 induces overclock instability, wonky voltage control (as if it could get any worse with these lame offsets), no more speedstep, and 6950->6970 reflash incompatibility.
My 4.5ghz @ 1.32v 2600k is now barely stable at 3.8 @1.35v had to bump the voltage to 1.4v to get it prime95 stable. My 6950 gets 2d and 3d anomalies at stock settings with just the shaders unlocked when i used to be able to run 1000/1350 with 6970 bios (just for the upped voltage).
Those of you familiar with ASUS probably already know they don't make downgrading easy on some boards. I've been searching for a solution for a couple weeks now and haven't come up with anything.
AFUDOS says something along the lines of my bios being incompatible
AFUDOS ES doesn't work with my motherboard either (confirmed by ASUS as well as third parties and my own experience)
EZFLASH would be the best solution, but of course that won't work allow me because i'm trying to flash an "outdated bios"
Apart from buying an external flasher or purchasing a chip on ebay, anyone have any ideas? Why isn't there any software to just force a write to the bios chip even if it detects incompatibility?
Thanks
