Anyone know if 1705 BIOS cures the QX6700 multiplier problem?

I`m going from P5W to P5B E+, what i like to know is if it is possible to port my Raid 0 from ICH7 to ICH8 ?
Anyone done this already ?
I am interested :D. If I can I will try and tell u :D. I had uCode with 1506 and 1602 problem, I hop I will not have the same error with 1705. I have send an email to Asus support asking them why my CPU is supported (of course with the multiplier error :() in 1407 BIOS and it is not supported in the newest BIOS. Waiting for an answer...Quote:

My QX6700 works fine with 1602 - although I can't increase the multiplier on all cores. It should work fine otherwise. there is an option you need to set in one of the screns to enable microcode updates.Quote:

Hi,
I have been reading the manual ram timings problem this mobo has with great interest and the email lawrywild sent to Asus clearly explained what the issue is.
However, from the response, Asus are just not listening so I wonder if it's possible to raise this issue as a 'main page' issue on the parent site so it gets full exposure and hopefully a direct response as to why Asus are not able to release a BIOS with the tRFC option or an explanation as to why the board cannot set manual ram timings over 360MHz.
Sorry if this has been tried or mentioned before but I and many others bought this board for overclocking and its simply a bit of a let down after buying expensive ram...
I tried emailing Asus myself to request that my message (about the manual settings = no boot) be passed on to the BIOS engineers but alas I just got a response from ZYC telling me to increase RAM voltage.
I know a very popular website (won't mention name in case of any rules) raised BIOS issues with a Gigabyte board not so long ago and basically they (Gigabyte)delivered a superb BIOS in the end.
Cheers.
I think it's a good idea, we need to speak with Fugger I guess
Well it would have my support behind it, the P5WDH BIOS's at the moment are really a POS for a £150 board.
where can i DL the 1705?
i have lost my god links to the 2 pages i have had.
QX6700 installed on P5WDH (early MCH 1.65vdc board) - BIOS: 1705
- mild OC to 3.0G (FSB: 300)
- slight memory I/O loss; from 6290/6279 to 6023/6089
- processor a bit warmer than expected at approx 80% load, all cores
- amb temp: 21c/69.8f
TMPG XPress v4.2.3.193
- transcode MPEG2 320x480 to 720x480 DVD rate
- about 45% faster than E6700 @ 3.0G

Many thanks! If you can even get to x11 on all 4 cores (you will need to use CPU-Z to check each of the cores) I'll be over the moon!Quote:

you mention "...although I can't increase the multiplier on all cores..." on your previous post
- did you get x11 set on one or two cores with 1602?
I sent a mail to asus about the tRFC issue as well, and they said this:Quote:

I used the same thermal paste on both heatsinks (AS5), and I've tried reseating the Ultra-120 a couple of times.Quote:
Dear Valued Customer
We will probobly release new BIOS versions to this MB.

One thing worth mentioning is that the motherboard was slightly bent when the Big Typhoon was on, maybe I should remove the cpu "cover" and see if that helps?
Got multi raise priot to 1602 on 2 cores only. Thanks for trying Bichi!Quote:

Should i feel lucky i can go to 425fsb? i really wanted to hit 450 stable with my 6400
I have the ultra 120 and my temps went down a few celcius not up. I put the thermal paste on according to a link I had seen somewhere a small amount down the center of the cpu. Are you using a recommended fan on the heat sink? I asked the sales guy what would be a good fan for the heatsink and he added it to my purchase so I don t know what type I am using. As for removing the cpu cover? if its the metal cap I would recommend against doing that. If you have a tower, rese your heat sink and let it lay flat see if the contact on the cpu is any better. With this heatsink your temps should be lower Good luck.Quote:

I went from the Big Typhoon to the Ultra 120 with a very slight reduction in temps.
However I like the mounting mechanics much better with the Ultra 120 and was able to run a 1200 cfm fan vs. a 1600 with the BT to get the slightly lower temps.
I put thin washers under each fastener to get tighter compresssion with the Ultra 120.
