What's BIOS 1203 like?? did it fix any issues for you, if so what? are your 2nds GTX780 running perfectly fine in the black B2 slot with this BIOS?

So far I've only got the one complaint and that's my USB3 always seems to be running slower than what I'd expect but I'm not sure if that's a BIOS issue or software related as it's always done it. Everything else works fine and even got a 6 point increase in Realbench v2.0 pushing it to 85121. As for the B2 issue I've never suffered from it regardless of what BIOS I've had on, and I've tried them all.

Thanks for coming back to me. Kinda tempted to flash my BIOS and try my 2nd GTX in b2!!

I too am curious as to what changes this BIOS revision has made. There are never any official documentation on this stuff, huh?

This also a concern of mine as 1102 trashed all my OC settings. On 0804 I was quite happy with my OC profiles:

1. Had 45 multiplier / 45 cache ratio setting at 1.275 VID and VCore (adaptive) reaching 1.328 max w/ max core at 74C under RoG Bench.
2. Had 46 multiplier / 46 cache ratio setting at 1.375 VID and VCore (adaptive) reaching 1.408 max w/ max core at 74C under RoG Bench.

3. I had a wireless issue and Asus TS required that I upgrade to 1102.
4. Spent 2.5 hours copying and reentering all my BIOS settings after flashing
5. None of my OC profiles worked anymore, all were unstable .... started redoing everything.

7. Now 45 multiplier / 45 cache ratio setting requires 1.32 VID and VCore (adaptive) reaching 1.44 max w/ max core at 75C under RoG Bench.
8. Now 46 multiplier / 46 cache ratio setting requires 1.39 VID and VCore (adaptive) exceeds 1.5 max w/ max core at 81C under RoG Bench when I shut down.
9. Now 46 multiplier / 43 cache ratio setting requires 1.38 VID and VCore (adaptive) reaches 1.28 max w/ max core at 75C under RoG Bench when I shut down.

10. OC Profiles load only sporadically ..... some days they do, some days they don't. Once you load profile, system freezes where it be one of the above or "stock".

As there were two BIOSs between 0804 and 1102, I gotta wonder what the problem was and why they were withdrawn. After the damage done by 1102, I am very hesitant to go to 1203.

Other settings above are on XMP (1.67 volts on Auto) ....everything else default.

Left messages in several other M6F and Z87 OC threads but no answers since XMas.

EDIT:

1. In case it wasn't obvious from the sig, should note that I have the M6F not M6E.
2. Should have mentioned that 45/42 works just fine but 46/43 w/ 1102 BIOS gets a BSOD w/ STOP Error code of 0x00000101 about 2-3 seconds into Intel XTU which is typically associated with:

a) BIOS bug
b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
c) a hardware defect

As the only thing that's changed is the BIOS, I'm going with a)

Works fine for me. Picked up a couple of points in Valley bench.

Good to hear Hopper64. Sounds like this BIOS would be a good one to try but not sure if I am up for risking it?? hahaha

Works good but my USB 3.0 (LG phone charger) will lock up the system and seems that my system is rebooting at night all buy it's self.
