ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME CPU Support Bios version

[speedyrazor]

Hi, I can see on the Asus website, that they are saying that most i9 CPU's are supported from Bios version 1603:

But looking in the bios section, the latest Bios is only version 1503, is this just a typo?

It's the better option to wait for retail samples but I don't expect much from them.

BTW - I am still waiting on the Direct Die Frame from Caseking damn it - ETA 14/12/19 which is not 100% sure.

Whats hilarious is all the chatter chastising Intel for using paste instead of solder now everyone is whining about why is it soldered, they would rather delid and use their own metal TIM. My thing is Im sitting on a golden 7900X. The source I have I can swap out until I find a decent one a few times but not indefinitely. The 7960 has dropped in price on Newegg already. 7980XE has not. Once I pop the top what I have is what I'm stuck with. Silicon lottery will have the new chips up for a hefty premium on the higher binned ones. Just have to sit back and ponder is it worth the premium.

Yeah, in the end a delid will get same temps within margin of error that solder. But from watching gamers nexus push both series, from what they say, liquid metal gives more headroom to prevent thermal throttling. New series temps might appear the same, but more thermal throttling occurs from the solder.

I am going direct die with my 7940X which is even better and the new SKUs cannot be delidded, especially the HCC chips which most if not all of them are based off now. My der8auer Skylake-X direct die frame kit will ship next Friday according to Caseking so in about 10 days I will have it in my hands. I have everything else ready to proceed.
