Hi guys,
This is my first post on this forum, so far I've only read the Intel OC sections
So, it seems like I got overexcited and spent the money on a 5930K and an Asus X99 Deluxe (BIOS 0904). The problem I have is the following: I have a multi-threaded Linux program that needs accurate time measuring, or else it will malfunction.
Because of a bug in the Asus BIOS, the Linux kernel disables the TSC time source and falls back to a time source that has far less accuracy. I'm considering selling the X99 Deluxe and purchasing another board, however I'm afraid I will hit the same issue on the new board since everybody may be using the same AMI BIOS code base. I know for example that some Z97 Gigabyte boards have similar issues.
If there are any Linux users on X99, could you please post the output of the command:
On my Fedora 20 running kernel 3.16, this returns something like "hpet acpi_pm". Kernel version should not matter much, what I need is to find a board that returns something like "tsc hpet acpi_pm".
Thank you very much!!
