January 31, 201610 yr Hey all, Anyone else having problems with their sleep functionality with their non-k bios? It seems to have junked the sleep functionality, where when trying to come out of sleep it just sits at a black screen with all the fans on full. Not that I'm complaining, as sleep is a small price to pay for 4.5mhz stable on my i5 6500, but if anyone has any ideas about how to fix it I'd be game. Thanks!

What you need to know is that it's just a simple BIOS update and that it's experimental = not suited for 24/7 use. For example any power management will not work using this method. XTU is also screwed up when using this, with scores around 200 points.

Actually I solved it by turning off hybrid sleep, and now let it just hibernate. As far as not being meant for 24/7 usage, my temps are well within spec and have run into no problems with gaming or other general usage - so as far as I'm concerned it's perfectly fine for 24/7 usage. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Sean. Edited February 3, 201610 yr by seanpatrick
