BIOS
When the board first arrived and I did a quick set of boot checks followed by a short BIOS exam, it looked pretty bare BIOS-wise. A couple of days later ECS sent along the now public 1.1d BIOS and things picked up. Before, with no CPU voltage adjust, no mem timing adjust, no multiplier adjust, derived HTT clock that stopped at 232MHz and no way of locking AGP, things looked very grim for the EV2. However, the new BIOS fixes almost everything. Voltage range for Vcore (CPU) and Vdimm (memory) are still limited compared to what you can find on other boards, but apart from that it looks good.Vdimm stops at 2.7V, a little less than most enthusiasts would like to see, in order to extract the most from their DDR DIMMs. CPU Vcore adjust is limited to a selection from the CPU's own VID (voltage ID) table, which tops out at 1.55V on all the currently released Socket 939 processors.
Here's a few photographs of the BIOS shaking its thang.
