Ok...I have a Q9450 in an EP45-DS3R motherboard. All the BIOS Settings I have are identical to what is in the owner's manual:

CPU VCore
CPU Termination
CPU PLL
CPU Reference

MCH Core
MCH Termination
MCH/DRAM Reference
ICH I/O

I'm seeing other people posting BIOS settings with the same board and supposedly processor and they are also showing:
CPU Reference 2
ICH Core

I'm using the F8 BIOS. Is something wrong?

The BIOS settings shown in the MB manual could not possibly include any 'new' features to the BIOS added since the book was printed. So, any new BIOS versions made available by MB Mfg. may contain 'features' not included in the BIOS when the MB manual was written. Is F8 the latest BIOS available, or the original BIOS?
