Ye gods! We're coming up on another month with this same beta being the last thing released. By now, they ought to know whether the beta is bad and they should have released a new beta, or the beta is good and they should have released a final version.

More or less the same, not that I'm having USB issues, but hoping for better Samsung C-die support. With 4 sticks it just doesn't run at rated speed.

This and we don't even have a patch for the 1.2.0.3 Patch A AGESA. I guess our board is no longer supported. 😞

I've been running 3601 STABLE for over a week now. Just click the download links in the other post. They mention it as Beta, but it is a release BIOS, 3601. Works like a charm, getting boosts above 5Ghz or all-core OC at 4.5Ghz with a 5950X.

A Bios for a different Asus motherboard last year might have cooked the CPU of myself and at least one other who posted on this forum. This is probably a stretch but maybe they are actually verifying the safety of this one thoroughly. Yeah, right, lol. But at least we can hope, right?! Software is far from being an Asus strongpoint, anyhow.

I haven't done a whole lot with the new BIOS 3601, but I did try a Cinebench run and my CPU stayed 5-10c below normal while maintaining the same score as before.
I'm not sure how it's doing this, but it's impressive if it wasn't a fluke.

I'm thinking it's not a fluke. I just got my C8H about a week before 3601 was available so didn't run 3501 very long, but my temps went down 5-10C like you're saying and I was able to reach 4.5Ghz all-core OC (@1.289Vcore) stable with 3601 which I wasn't able to before. With stock settings, it was also boosting my 5950X to 5025MHz which was pretty sweet also. I've been on 3601 for over two weeks now and it has been rock solid stable. I'm starting to believe the Asian posters that this is indeed a STABLE release and not a BETA. Either way, no complaints.
