Fix number 5 is the most imortant one as you never knew when you actually overclocked it. Tempted to test my crosshair again as it's extremely mem tweakable

It still doesn't say on the site if its compatible with the B3 cpu's so I haven't gone back to mine yet.

I gotta warn you about this BIOS. I didn't test it with a Phenom, only with a 6000+, but voltage adjustment didn't take effect. If you decide to test it, make sure to re-enter the BIOS immediately after applying your settings the first time, and then check the voltage readouts in the hardware monitor. I was probably lucky not to crash my OS. The system failed to POST, and within minutes I got a checksum error and couldn't even enter the BIOS. I had to use an old floppy to flash to the 0502 BIOS. Again, I didn't use a Phenom, but I don't see why this severe bug would be CPU-dependant.

Hi there Quintero. Haven't seen you around for som time.
Thanks for the heads up. You tested the previous BIOS too? Between this one and the 0905. The voltage issue was the main problem about BIOS 0904 too, next to no mem functions that is :D

No, I didn't test the previous BIOS, guess that one's buggy too. Right now I'm using 0804. I haven't been active in any forum lately, but I'm still lurking at diskusjon.no for sheer entertainment value :D

Not very entertaining there no more IMO.. Very little activity actually. Probably more lurkers like you :D
