So a few weeks ago I was checking for any Windows 7 driver updates on Asus site and found a BIOS update to 0602. I updated the BIOS as I was experiencing the suspend S3 crashing problem and I started noticing my overclock increasing. After some playing around I found that the new BIOS had unlock new multipliers for the i7 920 and with Turbo enabled my multiplier was hitting 21.5-22 (didn't confirm if 22 would hit on just single threaded apps). I had thought that the multiplier wouldn't exceed 21 on the 920's but I was not about to complain about the boost
.
Another 2 weeks or so later I checked again for updates and found that the 0602 BIOS had been removed from the website and replaced with version 0603. So once again I upgraded thinking it could only help things and the multiplier had been restored back to hitting only 21 with turbo
.
Sad thing is I didn't save my previous BIOS before flashing and may never run across that again
I just wanted to see if anyone else with the same or similar motherboards have experienced or seen this as well?
