    Just to confirm P8P67 Standard, BIOS 1204 modded with Phoenixtools 1.73B9 Dynamic mode works - as confirmed by Arioch1973 memory settings working nice now (DDR3-1600 finally working - yay!).

    My post count doesn't let me post links (not reached 20 yet) otherwise I'd have linked to sendspace.com/file/1dvu8d for the working modded BIOS... but I can't, so I won't :D

    Great work Andy... thanks again for your superb efforts :worthy:

    P.S. Spent at least 30 mins wondering why CPU-Z was now showing a Bus speed of 75.6MHz instead of 100.... until I realised that CPU-Z 1.56.1 (I was using 1.56) had a fix for Sandybridge! Thought that was the f*ing BIOS at fault too :confused:

    Humming along now at 4.6GHz.... nice..... :cool:

    I've always used RW reports and it's worked out fine, just do a Dynamic mod.

    But, do I have to make my own or just use one of the ones floating around out there? I thought they were all different for each bios?

    It only takes a few minutes to install RW and generate your own file. Very easy to do.

    In my city, P67 and H67 series MBs have been removed from some shops showcase due to the Intel Sandy Bridge fatal bug.

    can I use a RW File for all bios updates or do I need a new RW file from the new bios?

    Dear Andy. I remove a hat as a token of respect to your talent. All ruler ASUS Р67 gives in to dynamic modifying without problems. I think, time has
    come to finish method SSV2 ASUS slic-string for the same successful updating ASUS notebooks K52N, K52DE, N61DA and similar, as still - a brick.
    I apologize for the English language..

    I think that may depends on what changed in each BIOS revision.

    If motherboard vendor changed signifiant portion of the BIOS in one revision, it probably is better to get a new RW report for the new BIOS.

    I did run one report on each of the two available BIOS revisions for my board, the report sizes are not the same. better be safe than sorry~~~ after all, it only takes few minutes to do the whole process.

    so I must flash the new bios without the slic, get the rw file, mod the bios with the rw and slick and then need to flash the bios with slick.
