What boards don't have boot loop issues?

Oh? Thanks for the explanation...

 

I figured I was safe when I got the B3 revision... apparently they never fixed it... *sigh* Well good to know for my next board... speaking of that lol...

 

What about this board?

It's got a ASMedia® ASM1061 controller

Are you overclocking? That seems to kick off the cold boot/double boot problem.

 

 

Hello

Running @ 4.5ghz.

I have always suspected that the PSU is part of this issue, specifically how quickly the 12V rails are brought into play and the Caps are brought up to charge.

The double boot seems to be the board precharging the Caps and not allowing the post to continue until sufficient charge is present in the phases supplying the CPU socket.

Overclocking just makes this more likely due to the increased demand placed on the phases supplying the CPU.

It would be interesting to look at the response times of various PSU's on the 12V rails taking into account differences in single rail designs and multiple 12v rails.

not a single on my board, best set-up I have ever owned...the gigabyte ud5 b3 had a few, but improved with better bios'

I love the Sabertooth boards. Especially now that they come with fans for the TUF. It is just too bad they didn't make Z68 boards but if mine fails I will get the Z77 Saber.

 

It got a silver from HardOCP but that is primarily due to the Z77 boards not really offering much over Z68 boards which are less.

Hello

Asus Sabertooth P67 here, never double boots

 

Strange. My Z77 Sabertooth double boots occasionally whereas my P67 Deluxe never did.

To answer the OP question.... What boards don't have boot loop issues?

 

The ones who are not overclocked......

Not true. My P8P67 B3 had the issue from the very beginning, so obviously not overclocked.

 

Anyway, I think we can conclude that quite a few boards are affected (hundreds of pages of discussion on different forums) but not all.

WHAT? You have a Z77 board and it double boots? Oh god...
