Aegis Panel and bios G28

[negev]

Why does System and NB temps show as 0C?

I think this might be why my fans go full pelt all the time instead of being "smart"..

[Xello]

Mine shows the same, i don't really use the program as because of things like this it's not much use :down:

Hi
I canot get the Aegis pannel to work, its says unknown MB when I start it. It is the new from Foxcon download
Even the new ini file with no luck

Foxconn Blackops G28
Q9650 @ 3.9Ghz (410x9,5) v1.3
2x1GB CellShock DDR3-1800 (7-6-6-21, v1.86)
Two separate WC loops
D-Tek Fusion v1 on cpu
and stock+copper top on nb (thanks a lot shamino)
nb v1.47

I love this board and is not ready to show alle my settings yet

Have you tried a different version of the Aegis Panel?

[saaya]

hey guys,

sorry about the inconvinience...
could you post some more details?
are you on xp or vista?
what version of aegis are you using?
what bios are you using?
what exactly doesnt work for you?
oh and do you have the smbus driver and chipset driver installed?

[negev]

Latest version of the Aegis Panel (1.0.2.32) from the Quantum Force website - http://www.quantum-force.net/download/AegisPanel10232.zip - does work with the Blackops.

For some reason LiveUpdate doesn't download this new version.

If you have the old version installed, seems to have to uninstall the old one first, reboot, then install this or it won't work, and you have to install it to it's default location in C:\Program Files.

[negev]

tinus - try going to c:\program files\FOXCONN\Aegis Panel and running FXAppLoader.exe


that's where your shortcut should point.. if you have installed it elsewhere, uninstall -> reboot -> reinstall to default location then it should work.

[tinus]

gungero - same result with 10214, 10215 and 10232

negev - have done it no change

[negev]

I think I had to reinstall it a couple of times before it worked, make sure you uninstall it, completely remove the directory and reboot before you reinstall.

If you still can't get it working try extracting this into your program files dir:

Yo, I just got blackops last night and got it up and running.
Same this with Aegis reading (or, not reading) wrong temps on NB and System. Aegis is really inconvenient, especially volt tweaking.
But i have the worse problem of horrible vdroop. i set target cpu voltage to 1.4 in BIOS and cpuz reads 0.88 at idle and 0.95 at load...i'm pretty dissappointed with this board so far.

[negev]

I don't think cpuz reports the voltage correctly, it definitely doesn't report my memory configuration correctly. In any case, there is a vdroop compensation option in the bios (use at your own risk).

[Slovnaft]

it was always reliable in my other x48 chipset, and the temps i get in realtemp support what cpuz is telling me. i idle at 30-34 and load around 40.
have you been able to clock any higher than 3.2? because i was able to do that right out of the box, no volt changes. But my chip did 3.8 on my gigabyte x48 mobo. So...uh...yah.

[negev]

Mine needs 0.2v extra vcore to reach 3.2, I've tried several times to push it higher but always got lockups no matter now much voltage i blasted through the nb, vtt, vcore etc. I've now discovered that it was the ram, for some reason my Geil ram doesn't like running at it's rated timings even at 2N.

I will try to push harder again when I have time, now that I know it's the ram that was holding it back. It'll probably want super-lame timings to reach 1800MHz though :(

[tinus]

I think I had to reinstall it a couple of times before it worked, make sure you uninstall it, completely remove the directory and reboot before you reinstall.

If you still can't get it working try extracting this into your program files dir:

Done with no luck, but I got a hint - there is some driver install incluted
and it's maybee interferience with somthing in my set up (an old monitor program or other driver) I will keep om tying.

[Xello]

Don't go by cpu-z for the vcore either, it shows me as 0.9v :rolleyes:

I wouldn't recommend going by software like this for your voltage settings, just use the BIOS.

[tinus]

Always take my voltages with Multimeter
vcore v1.3
nb v1.47
ram v1.86
I have a dream, a correct software based reading tool ;)

Hi! All

just back from i34 and was talking to the foxconn people there

the latest version of Aegis Panel is 1.0.2.32 http://www.quantum-force.net/download/AegisPanel10232.zip and for the temp readings to work correctly you need bios version p05

p05 is bios version g28 + a few extra updates

it is available here http://www.foxconnchannel.com/support/downloads.aspx

i have flashed to p05 and have no issues with it - This is the bios they were using for the new E8600 and all their overclocking with LN2

best regards

Thanks a lot flanr
The Aegis panel needs a public bios, ok never got into my mind
:rofl:

[negev]

P05 is really later than G28?

I thought G28 was the hardcore beta bios that all the overclockers were using ;)

[Xello]

According to Foxliveupdate program G28 is the newest, and P05 is old. However Flanr said P05 is newer in another thread so i flashed it last night.

No change in Aegis panel or cpu-z readings.

[Slovnaft]

@ negev

if you're having trouble getting above 400fsb try bumping the vdimm up a notch. for some reason my FSB seems entirely dependent on vdimm; i can only post at a higher speed when i increase it.

[negev]

Thanks for the tip, ill give it a shot if i ever get my raid controller to stop lagging like a drunk :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:.

It's been pissing me off for two days now, im now on my 2nd reinstall of windows but I think ive cracked it this time.

To anyone reading this DO NOT under any circumstances update your chipset or raid drivers with the latest ones from Intel, only use the ones from foxconn or you'll have major problems!

[Slovnaft]

man, i really hope this board is eventually worth the hassle...before nehalem comes out.

[Xello]

Well after flashing P05 i've had the return of the dreaded Random Post Code 52 Hang phenomenon, which i've not had since i was on a previous public bios (p02). It's meant to be some memory related error however i get it even on settings which are 9hr prime stable, and then i just turn the comp off and on and it will boot fine. Until the next time i try to restart, when it will do it again.

Flashing back to G28!

[Slovnaft]

I get the same thing with code 54.
let me know if flashing back to G28 fixes it.

[raptor1]

here is a screenshot of aegis panel with the temperatures showing correctly

Best Regards
flanr

Edit

After Flashing Back To G27 Bios Without Uninstalling And Reinstalling Aegis The Temperatures Are Still Showing Correctly

[Xello]

I actually meant post error 54. I've been on G28 for a few weeks before now and it never happened once with it, flashed back now and i'm fine.

Well Flanr sorry to say that on bios P02, G28 and P05 my Aegis panel isn't fully operational. Maybe you have to reinstall the program after a bios flash, i never did that, though i wouldn't think it would matter. P05 had some other bugs for me so i'll stick with G28.

[raptor1]

i too am getting that post code error 54 and other intermittent quirks like intermittent shutdowns and restarts with p05 - i have notifed saaya and lardarse about this

i have flashed back to G27 where i had no problems

i apolgise if i was pushing p05 bios, cause normally flashing to the latest bios is always recomended by the manufacturer, in this case it did not work out

but it was up to each individual if they wanted to flash or not

as the old saying goes - if it ain't broke don't fix it

Best Regards
flanr

Of course :up: I've found flashing with this foxliveupdate program to be painless so going from one bios to another is no trouble. P05 had some other quirks for me - the mouse would randomly be non-operational on windows boot for example.

[saaya]

But i have the worse problem of horrible vdroop. i set target cpu voltage to 1.4 in BIOS and cpuz reads 0.88 at idle and 0.95 at load...i'm pretty dissappointed with this board so far.cpuz doesnt read the temps correctly, still working on that with franck from cpuz, sorry! :(



have you been able to clock any higher than 3.2? because i was able to do that right out of the box, no volt changes. But my chip did 3.8 on my gigabyte x48 mobo. So...uh...yah.what cpu is that? are you using the same memory and the same settings as on the gigabyte board?


for some reason my Geil ram doesn't like running at it's rated timings even at 2N.what geil memory is that?


Thanks for the tip, ill give it a shot if i ever get my raid controller to stop lagging like a drunk :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:.

To anyone reading this DO NOT under any circumstances update your chipset or raid drivers with the latest ones from Intel, only use the ones from foxconn or you'll have major problems!damn... what driver are you using then that works alright? might be useful in case somebody else searches the forum for this issue :)


Of course :up: I've found flashing with this foxliveupdate program to be painless so going from one bios to another is no trouble. P05 had some other quirks for me - the mouse would randomly be non-operational on windows boot for example.hmmm sorry about the issues m8... could you post some more details about what exactly is not working right with what bios, hardware config and what settings etc so i can reproduce it here and then push the engineers to get it fixed? thanks! :toast:

everybody else, the same thing, if aegis panel doesnt work or you have any issues, could you please post more details so we can reproduce this issue?

what windows version?
32bit or 64bit?
what bios?
did you try a fresh install?
what versions of aegis panel did you try?
did you install to the default folder?
what exactly doesnt work, and what does work?

i tried different aegis panel versions on the mars on fresh vista 32bit, vista 64bit and windows xp installs and it worked fine! so... i really dont know why it doesnt work for some guys and our application engineer is puzzled as well... :/

[negev]

Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.8.0.1013 (comes on the Blackops cd) is happy with my board with G28 bios. Latest driver from LiveUpdate kills it.

My Geil ram is Evo Black Dragon 1600C7. I have to run it at 8-8-8-26 to get it stable at 1600mhz.

[Slovnaft]

@saaya
Q9450 C1 stepping. same memory as gigabyte 2x2 mushkin 1600 at same timings(7-7-6-18 PL9(to try for higher fsb). I was just setting voltage as needed, but noticed that anytime i increased FSB i needed to increase vDRAM to get it to boot. decided that was odd so I ran memtest and every address was failing. I like to think i may have fried it on my gigabyte mobo. RMAing RAM now, but i probably won't get back on this mobo until i get my P4 back.

Hi Guys,

Noticed this, made me a bit nervous, PPL @ 2+ volts so done a few tests:

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg71/blindfitter/testppla.jpg

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg71/blindfitter/testpplb.jpg

Firstly set all voltages to stock, then increased pll one notch at a time in bios and took reading in Aegis panel.

Vcore ppll in Bios...............Vcore ppl reading in Aegis Panel

1.433.................... 1.396
1.471................... 1.396
1.508................... 1.396
1.540................... 1.396
1.588................... 1.976
1.622................... 2.023
1.659................... 2.070
1.69.................... 2.117

Would request confirmation that there is a fault in Aegis panel and not in the bios
Bios used G30, Aegis see pic

If mods consider this should be in a new thread, then please move and start one, thanks
