New BIOS 3202

[Qwinn]

Just saw this posted on the ASUS RVE download page.

Post results here. I'll be trying it soon.

EDIT: Since it doesn't appear to be up on the USA version of the download page yet, you can find it on the global version here:

I've had issues with this bios too... PC boots fine (more stable that all previous BIOS in fact) however after running flawlessly randomly cuts out.. no warning, just a click of relays and a total black out, followed by power up a few moments later.

It's definitely BIOS related not temperature (fully water cooled with good temps) or Power (this symptom only occurs on this BIOS)

Oddly since reverting back to a previous bios I now regularly get a BSOD during boot, but once "up" it's 100% stable,

Boot times with 3202 are just as long as 3101.

I've been running very stable on 3202. 11 hours OCCT and 10 hours Aida stable. Decided to go back to Nvidia driver 362.00 and now I *can't* seem to make it crash, heh - just ran 2 hours Heaven Benchmark at 1440p in 3D Vision with no problems. I was getting occasional TDR's with 368.39, which is a shame as it's a good driver otherwise.

Agreed that boot times haven't improved over 3101.

I'll repeat here: If you are having crashes/q codes/restarts after doing a BIOS flash that included the "BIOS is updating" reboots, flash your new BIOS over itself again so that the flash process can complete without having to do those reboots. That has been resolving problems for a lot of people. I actually didn't have any problems on my first flash to 3202 but decided to reflash it again anyway just to play It safe.

Quinn, you use ez-flash or flashback???

[Qwinn]

I use the method with the BIOS file named R5E.CAP on the root directory of a usb stick plugged into the dedicated port on the back with the computer's power turned off, clearing CMOS, then pressing the ROG Connect button.

(I don't like to use the term flashback because more than one method seems to be named that.)

IMHO the above method is clearly superior to all others, if for no other reason than by it operating with no power, it removes the possibility of instability corrupting the flash process itself.

On the topic of new Bios - I like to use the Mylogo to add my touch to my computers.
For the life of me, I cannot get the picture file to update with the bios. In fact each time I try - it goes thru the steps and then reboot to head to bios flash. Just shuts off the computer up to last few bios. I had no problems.
Does anyone know size, file size (max) or any details on my logo requirements. Personally I like the older Mylogo cause you can set the size etc in windows. Cause fullscreen setting in bios is a still a small size,
Anyone have any inputs - I have tried almost every possible file size, reso size, or on a flash drive etc. Thanx to anyone that can come up with a solution.

I don't see many complaints on this 3202 version.

Must be running stable for everyone?

I had had restarts with 3001, 3101 and was keen to try 3102. Temps higher and restarts still. I have reverted to 2001 again and system is again running fine.

Yeah every update after 2101 has giving me multiple restarts, slightly lower OC's and higher voltage spikes. The microcode hasnt updated afaik so im just gonna stick with 2101 with my Has-e.
