How are people getting on with the 1201 bios?

No problems at all with it.

It appears that bios 1201 has been pulled due to a minor issue involving the ASMedia SATA controller.

Should you flash back:

Wait for the next build to come out and then flash to that. I don't see any major reason to flash back to an earlier build in the interim unless you have to use the ASMedia SATA ports.

Don't know if anyone has seen.. EK have released the monoblock waterblock for the RVE

http://www.ekwb.com/news/570/19/EK-introduces-Rampage-V-Extreme-Monoblock/

Currently running a dual loop setup in my machine & the CPU currently has a 480mm SR-1 rad all to itself (a little overkill)

Was thinking of going for this as the airflow in my case isn't brilliant, would it cool the chipset (more concerned about the VRM's tbh) better than the seperate motherboard blocks?

looks like a quantum leap compared to my RIVE setup which has 3 different blocks to achieve the same effect with the implied restriction and tubing complexity.

this solution looks vastly superior even if you trade the portability of the block itself, on balance, its probably worth the trade-off!

Maybe the tester used bios flashback (not going to try) but it is just very careless. They're quality procedures must be non-existent to let this happen.

This one should work:

I have a borked PC and need to put the new version on (don't ask). This is currently the only PC I have so wondering how I can extract the CAP file, to a USB device on a MAC. Any pointers appreciated ??

Got my R5 about a month ago still not able to use as waiting on various other parts.
From reading all this info, should it be good to go str8 out of the box? Any tips or updates needed first?

Thanks
