The BIOS was released two days after the final 1.9-Version.  I just uploaded it now, because nobody has really requested it until now:

Many thanks !!

I post the results of this new beta BIOS in my P35 neo2 FR with Q9550 when flash the new bios (tomorrow)

 

[FrankenBerrie]

Thanks..

Installed, seems to be working fine but when does the cpu voltage show 2.42213123344  ???
Been like that on the last few bioses - im using q9550 stock clocks

 

[testeo]

I have MSI P35 neo2 FR with Intel Q9550 (2.83 ghz, stock speed).

I update the bios from 1.10 (1.A) to 1.11b4 (1.Bb4) to fix the multiplier bug

In both cases, the CPU voltage taken from BIOS system info & CPU-Z is between the values 1.062v - 1.088v. The CPU voltage taken from cell menu (NO overclocking, EIST disabled) is in grey color and show 1.1000.

 

[FrankenBerrie]

In the bios photo on the left look at my cpu voltage: 2.429495.........

 

[testeo]

I suspect of your Memory freq. & volt. (mine is 800 & 1.8). Could you test with standart DDR2 parameters (NO OC) or with other standart memory?

you done ALL the steps in flashing the bios (include the reset to default & clear CMOS with power cord out and presing the power buton to discharge capacitors?). Try this before ajust or change the memory.

 

[FrankenBerrie]

I've reset the bios, battery, power cord out.... This voltage issue has happened when i installed the q9550... had e8400 before with no issues..

 

[testeo]

Whats is the CPU temp on Iddle and load? (try some cpu stress software thats load all cores).

To measure the temp, I recomend HWmonitor (Done by te same has CPUID)

Remember post the ambient temp of you room too.
