Good news then. And even better you can now do it all over again with the new EFI/BIOS that is being released. ;)

LoL!  Not sure what the big deal is with the EFI bios anyway.  How often do you actually go into a bios once your system is stable?  I see so many people being hyper for the EFI- but my thought is... the only time I tinker with bios is when I first build a system; I can count on one hand the number of times I've gone into the  bios on my old system over the past two years.

As of now, I don't have any problems with the F6b bios on the UD3P board.  My system is running stable, overclocking to 4.8Ghz fine, and the 'auto' voltage is actually doing quiet well for such a substantial OC.  I remember a few years ago I updated to a beta bios, and ran on that for three years.  Whatever happened to the old saying, "ONLY update your bios IF you are having problems?"   :P

Not a truer word spoken! Some people seem to think just because a new update is released they have to use it or something terrible will happen to their "pride and joy".

If a beta BIOS is going to give problems you usually know about it straight away and have to do something about it there and then. I often run them for ages with no problems.

Alot of the fuss over the UEFI is the extra benefits it brings like allowing sinlge partitions up to Zettabyte sizes amoungst other things. As you say once everything is up and running you don't normally need to play with the BIOS.
