Just been messing with some different ram and noticed that its running in tripple channel mode but with 16GB available (4x4) and channel A1 is showing abnormal, so i switched round the sticks and it still shows as A1 abnormal, so at this point i was thinking that A1 has somehow broke. Switched to bios chip 2 which is still on 0403 and booted to windows and its now in quad, phew!! so then switched back to bios chip 1 and back to windows and thats showing tripple so i presume the bios is corrupt?? went to flash with 801 and it says that it is not a UEFI bios/file, now what can i do???

Iirc quite a lot of peoples OC results with later bios revisions are lower, mainly with watercooled and above specced systems and if i recall Raja(asus) said this was due to the earlier bios allowing more power(amps) and that it was not necessarily a good thing for mainstream users.
I personally dont use the older bios mainly because the OC profiles never loaded correctly, always took 2-3 times before all settings were applied which bugged me!!
