EVGA X58 Micro (E756) - BIOS 44 Released - Thursday, February 04, 2010 5:13 PM ( #1 )
This BIOS is ONLY for the EVGA X58 Micro Motherboard (part number 121-BL-E756-)

BIOS 44 Updates:
  • Supports 32nm Desktop CPUs

BIOS updating can be accomplished VIA the below methods:




CD/DVD Installation - Recommended installation method
  • Download the following .iso file: E756_44.iso
  • Use a CD Burning software to burn the .iso image onto a blank CD (Nero, Alochol 120%, MagicISO etc.)
  • After it has burned, insert CD and restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
  • Now set the CD Drive as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select CD as the bootable device.
  • After flash remove the CD, and power off PC Completely.
  • Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS



USB FLOPPY Installation - Recommended installation method
  • Download the following executable: E756_44.exe
  • Insert blank floppy disk into drive and run executable
  • After the floppy has written fully, restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
  • Now set the USB Floppy as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select USB Floppy as the bootable device
  • After flash remove the floppy, power off PC Completely
  • Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS



USB Flash Drive Installation - Alternate installation method
  • Download: E75644.bin
  • Visit this thread and follow the installation instructions. (thanks 30h6).



Warning:
**Do not restart or interrupt your PC while the flash is ongoing
**Do not Flash BIOS on overclocked settings
**It is always recommended to power-down after flash and Clear CMOS

I needed small adjustments (memory, CPU Voltage) to make everything runs stable with "performance mode" but I am very happy, no problems for 2 hours, Games, Vantage, ok

I had a problem with this BIOS release. I use  USB keyboards, I tried two different USB keyboards in the BIOS it refused to use the (+/-) key's for me to change my HD Boot order, I found a old PS2 Keyboard and the (+/-) key's worked.

The only bad thing that happened to me is that now my memory runs 1066@8-8-8-20 and before it was 1066@8-8-8-19,also I noticed that POST time got reduced,which is good and maybe is due to a bit higher memory timings,overall is a good  bios update.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this BIOS appears to have corrected an issue I had with multiple RAID 0 configurations I have.  The OS would hang on bootup now all is well.

Cheers...
