Cinbench before my bios update was 1800 to 2000.. but after the update its staying near 875 to 900.. Anyone else getting this? thats a huge performance drop, or how can i get it back to where it suppose to be? Was running intel defaults. XMP 1 was also on.

After updating to BIOS 2503:

I'm not a gamer and can't say anything about FPS losses. But my system has had boot problems since the update. Sometimes it doesn't boot at all, sometimes only after 1:30 min. I'm still trying a few settings in the BIOS. But I'm leaving the Intel default untouched. However, I have activated XMP I.

Hey man,

I have noticed that too, my rig use to boot 10 seconds, now its at 24 seconds???

Yes it definitely takes longer for the system to POST now. I noticed this since the eTVB microcode fix, this is when it started to take longer to POST.

What is the Q-CODE reader displaying? Sounds like it's possibly reattempting memory training.

Can't say I've noticed any change in POST times on the new build.
