DFI UT X58-T3EH8 - 01/14 Beta -> Official bios released

07:55 PM

Added Channel and Rank Interleave Setting Item.

Modify DMI configure.

Fixed QPI Item string error.

Fixed ABS Auto upgrade issue.

Please click here for Update the "LX58D114.ABS" first by Auto Boost system AP file when you changed BIOS version..

Edit: please don't update until i ask DFI for clarification on ABS update statement

Update: I've asked for clarification for this and the ABS profile update is for the minority of users who experience slow/freezing mouse lags or slow USB/Floppy bios flashing and have the ABS application installed and used the ABS system to reload saved older bios version based profiles. If you never used the ABS application on DFI UT X58-T3EH8, you don't need to update the LX58D114.ABS profile after bios flash.

Solution:

For those that have the mouse lags or slow/freezing like USB/Floppy bios flashing experience, the remedy is as follows:

When if the lagging problem existed, here is solution:

1. Turn off AC power until 5V indicated LED turn off

2. Remove battery for 5minutes to do a totally clear COMS data

***After that, USB/Floppy boot lagging problem will disappear, user can start to flash BIOS
using Usb stick or floppy drive. ***

3. Update latest 2009/1/14 BIOS

4. Reload 2009/1/14 ABS profile -

LX58D114.ABS Updated ABS profile for LX58D114.bin bios.

I did ask DFI for clarification and apparently you don't need to do the ABS profile step IF you NEVER used the ABS application on your DFI UT X58-T3EH8. The problem is some folks incorrectly load older bios based version saved profiles on a newer/updated bios version system.

Recommended
I usually also after bios flash, load optimised defaults and manually recreate my settings and re-save a new bios version based saved CMOS Reloaded profile to ensure I never incorrectly reload an older bios based version saved profile

Ain't most bioses in general a work in progress ?

No idea when the next official bios will be out. I'm hoping 01/14 has what I requested included, then I can potentially clock my unmatched 3x1GB HCF0 modules past DDR3-2228Mhz 99924 for 32M stability hehe

Updated first post with clarification for 01/14 bios update

edit: 01/14 has become the official bios now too
