Hmmm since you don't have any problem cold booting with vapo... wonder if this is it :P Can you send me a copy so I can futiley try cold boot again? :P (or were u using the stock 1.35 beta?)

[bito]

Pls could you send me the bios as well....Thanks
Trying higher fsb's with Adata ddr600 and my 3500+ Winny.

[equlizer]

i would realy like to try it out
great if u could pm me :)

[Onepagebook]

Check your PM guys,

[SteveOCZ]

Do you know what this bios changes? Can you please send me it.

Thanks

[PnoT]

If this fixes the cold boot issue send it my way please.


I just took down my entire mach I about an hour ago and going back to air with this combo because of this issue, what a pain in the ars. I was going to rma the chip anyway but still it's troublesome.

[fatty]

May I grab a copy too dont know when I will install it going away tomorrow for a couple of weeks but I will try it when I get back from hols
Thanks

[JBREAKS]

im not a super member but could i grab it

[jinu117]

Interesting... bios temp do reads way high now... but doesn't lock up (newcastle atm)
Just shipped my winne out today so I guess I will have to wait again... :P
My guess is the lockup issue is gone since board is running with "high" temp.
Shouldn't have spent the money on buying 2 sets of TCCD sigh... someone's 3ghz winnie probably is gone by the time when I am ready... -_-;

PS) Stability seems fine for now. Gonna hard test few things I couldn't.

[StellaArtois]

Onepagebook, you mentioned this might help users who can't get to high FSB. I'm currently having issues with reaching even *low* FSB with my double-sided BH5 :D

If this bios might help, may I grab a copy as well?

[tonytiger]

I would really like to try it out.
Thanks.

[CTKP]

I would like to try it out too. Thanks

[esdee]

one here too please onepagebook!
Im doing some tests right now for max settings and after that (probably next week)
ill post new findings.

Thanks

[Karaya]

I would like to try it also please.

[Psilonaught1]

oh #hit

on one hand i would be really pleased if this fixed the Mach2 issues, but on the other i just sold my Neo2 so i don't wanna have to buy another one :rolleyes:

can someone confirm this bios fixes the booting / freezing cold temp issue?

[robocopy]

I'm having problems overklocking my 3500+ NC.
It´s only stable at 2450MHz in prime95.
This bios might help me a lot with stability and higher FSB.

anyone tried it yet? max vcore +%?

[jinu117]

anyone tried it yet? max vcore +%?

All options looks same as 1.3 bios. meaning 10%. I would be hard pressed to worry about the other 8.3% as I found out that nets me measly 50mhz. (to top it off @ 3.1ghz prime stable :P) And It DID prime @ same setting as 1.36 or 1.3 or 1.35 for me. Will try more agressive setting today. (need to get cash for winnie.. heh... buy my eb guys :P)

Could I get one to please? Problems getting mine PrimeStable @ high FSB.

Hey Onepagebook on a slight off topic question. Do you know any retail

I know eXcal in the u.s has stock but
I really don't think they ship up here. I would really like to try some of
there PC-4400LE type ram. :(

Has anyone tried this to fix the cold boot issue yet? I would but i tore down my mach I last night and went back to air.

Reverted back to 1.36b still errors using memtest @275HTT.Same results as before.I did try all vdimm voltages and 2.65 gives the least errors.So for me it made no difference.Looking forward to buying a new ati or dfi board.Many Thanks to onepagebook for the beta bios.

Does this really fix the cold boot problem? That would be great. Someone allready tried it? Please report back.

[xgman]

what does this bios fix or do?

[UWestSider]

I'd love to know what the new bios does if anyone has tried it out yet. I'm running the 1.3b6 on my Neo2 Platinum right now. Best I've been able to do is 270FSB (2.7 GHz) on my 3500+ Winnie. That was with PQI Turbo PC3200 at 1:1, 2-2-2-5 on air.

But it's not Prime95 stable and nothing -- looser memory timings, vCore, vDimm -- seems to get me past 270 without bringing on the BSOD.

[papatsonis]

one copy for me too???
papatsonis@in.gr

dunno if it finally helps , but may worth a try , with my winbond and 2.85v , cant do more than 200mhz and aggressive timmings, when on a friend's dfi lp ut 250 , with that voltage could do 220+

[jagare]

You are able to run PQI Turbo PC3200 TCCD memory at 270FSB 1:1 with 2-2-2-5 timings? What voltage?

[longshot]

ok send it my way! make sure to remove the REMOVE in my addy :)


I can email you the bios, but do not publish it! :(

Can you please PM me the BIOS Onepagebook... :)

[Kanati]

You are able to run PQI Turbo PC3200 TCCD memory at 270FSB 1:1 with 2-2-2-5 timings? What voltage?

NS, I too want to know this. I have PQI Turbo and it will only do about 215 with 2-2-2-5 timing.

Has anyone tried watercooling the Northbridge on the Taiwan Chips to get over 270 FSB?

[PnoT]

Not a single person with cold boot issue has tried this bios?

[conrad.maranan]

I'll be picking up a K8N Neo2 Platinum and a 3000+ on Friday or Saturday. I'm interested to check out this BIOS as well.

So, is anyone tweaking with this BIOS yet and notice anything worthwhile? Or does it just help out with the low overclocking issues?

[[ r2 ]]

Yeah having 1:1 high FSB problems, pls send it this way:

arturd2@netspace.net.au

Thanks

[Psilonaught1]

come on, someone with a Mach2 must be able to test this bios to see if it fixed the cold issue :stick:

I need to try that bios too. Please send bios to rbcadsol@yahoo.com . Thanks

hi

i also have problems getting over 260 1:1, i would like to try this bios...
if you can please send me to toni005@wanadoo.es

thx a lot

I've tried it, problems still here.. thanks you but ;)

[krampak]

Well.. some improves there, now is doing pi 4mb at 340 FSB, with the 137B I couldn't do it at more than 320 (still asyncronous of course).

[NicoOCZ]

would be great if you could mail it to sicness@ocrana.com - thanks!

anyway, what's so special about it? waiting for my new cpu to arrive within the next days, so i can't test the bios right away.

Err... my initial assumption might not be correct on this to fix cold boot issue. Just trying diff bios out and found out same temp behaviors still exists... so there might not have been any code change in that part.

Well flashed the bios, first i was disappointed as i got the same results using any bios.

Well i was suspecting the following prior to using this bios:

1) Compability issue with Neo2 and XL Pros
2) Dud Dimm 2 (as using dimms 3&4 was much better)
3) Dud Neo2 full stop

I know my XL Pros are good as i ram memtest86+ at 250Mhz, 32 passes test 1-7 and 250 passes test #5.

Using dimms 1&2, HTT240*4HT CPU10x 1.55vcore 2.85vdimm 2.5-3-3-10 1T
First i tried Super_pi 32M calculation and nothing
Tried dropping HTT to 230, still problems.

I was about to give up and then i remembered that dimm 2 might be a dud.

Using dimms 3&4, HTT240*4HT CPU10x 1.55vcore 2.85vdimm 2.5-3-3-10 1T
Was able to run Super_pi 32M calculation and priming right now!

So the bios seemed to fix few things for me, as i never could complete 32M calculation in super_pi using dimms 3&4 or 1&2.

Well im not happy that dimm 2 seems a dud so im thinking of rma this board and getting a new Neo2 as with this bios it seems that there isnt a problem with Neo2 and XL Pros.

Im going to prime for a good 12 hrs and hopefully i havent spoken too soon but im my experience if i can pass super_pi 32M calculation then it should be alright.

[mikem]

Appears to have helped stability at high htt....
Thank you very much onepagebook...this 3000+ might still be useful after all...

Before anything over 315 htt caused random lockups...
Now it appears pretty stable upto 335x9 ;)

It also seems to have helped running memory with the 150mhz divider, as that wasnt stable at all before....

[Borre]

what does all that /x/x/x/ do?

[split]

what does all that /x/x/x/ do?
I think he is quoting XXXX as being the BIOS file name.

The switches supported by the MSI flash utility (AWFL833D.EXE) are..


<Swtches> ?: Show Help Messages$.. py: Program Flash Memory pn: No Flash Programming$.. sy: Backup Original BIOS To Disk File sn: No Original BIOS Backup$.. Sb: Skip BootBlock programming Wb: Always Programming BootBlock$.. cd: Clear DMI Data After Programming cc: Clear CMOS Data After Programming $.. cp: Clear PnP(ESCD) Data After Programming$.. LD: Destroy CMOS Checksum And No System Halt For First Reboot$.. After Programming Tiny: Occupy lesser memory$.. QI: Qualify flash part number with source file$..

Support nForce Input MAC,GUID Function,with "/wb" to update MAC and GUID.$..Example: AWDFLASH 6A69R000.bin /py/sn/nvmac:xxxxxxxxxxxx/wb$..................................$NviD$...

So yep ypu could use them if you wish.

Thinking..I would prolly give /wb a miss unless you are updating the MAC or firewire GUID.
