    Hi, I have given a 750GB Momentus XT SATA3, now I have the A06 bios that runs SATA3 ports, if I put the bios to A08, which castrates the SATA3 SATA2, would lower performance on the XT SATA3.

    These are my current performance, please if you have a ssd SATA3 not to smile ;)

    The XT is not a ssd SATA3 but surely even the band does not use a SATA2, I M14x with the general improvements on A08 bios, or reduction of port speed SATA3 I would reduce the performance of the XT.

    And then what did the A08 so good to be put?

    Sorry for the many questions, but I would use my little monster to max performance.

    thanks and hello :cool:

    I think if you flash to A08 it will make no diff re. speeds. However, I think you do not have issues with the drive lol

    I found (based on benchmark MSI Kombustor) that after flashing to A08 my GPU was 10% slower in FPS. This is compared to my current Bios (see specs.)
