How did you go about flashing the B(ackup) BIOS? Last I knew that was forbidden and not even accessible to flash. That's why it's called the Backup BIOS.

Thanks wardog for your time. There is a option for backup from A to B, thats the way i updated the B-Bios to v1.2. Yes, loaded UEFI defaults, pulled the battery out and replaced the factory one. Its a very strange issue with this board. It has a life for itself. Today i change all parameter and works fine, shut the pc down. After powering up again, board beeps 5 times or has horrible boot time or changes the voltage of the PCIe slot. Sometimes the SB voltage is set to high and the cooler on top is very hot, hoter as usual. Sometimes it take several minutes for reboot the system, sometimes 10 seconds to shut down and power up again. The Gail Super luce has LED lights on it. Slow flashing indicates low temps and rapidly flashing high temperature. The 2 banks at the right side from socket flashes very fast and are hot when i put my hand on it. The 2 banks at left flashes slow and are only light warm under touch. This is strange, after next time bootup this issue with the RAM banks is gone. The newest issue with BIOS v1.3 is problems with the Samsung 951 M.2 NVME SSD. Never had this before with older BIOS versions. Something goes wrong during the long bootup time. After passing the POST Windows wants to check the disk or/and the Reparatur screen pops up. After Windows has finished checking the disk and reboot all is normal. But NOT EVERY TIME I POWER UP MY MACHINE!!!!!! Thats so strange. In all this weeks with this board, its a challenge for me, i learned all about it. Every switch in UEFI and what it does or not. Or should do, to say it so. Due to the strange changing of voltage itself, its impossible to find out a configuration that works. I use HWMonitor, CPU-Z shows only CPU voltage. And it has defintively to do with BIOS. Any BIOS version has its strange issue. v1.3 that with the Samsung M.2 SSD. Its not the BIOS chip itself. Worked long time with B Bios and no changes to A. After booting up, the perfomance and speed ist OK, slight better as other X99 with 5820K. Fortunately i have a watercooling installed and no problems with heat. The Samsung SSD has blue RAM cooler on the chips and a small ventilator blows on the SSD and the SB heatspreder. Horrible boot time is caused from external USB harddisk or USB sticks. Sometimes, sometimes not. After pulling uot the USB stick the board boots up in 5 seconds to desktop. Sometimes it boots proper WITH the USB stick or hard disk. Asrock has alot of work with this platform.
