oh wow thanks for hte tips and pics, i shall go downlaod THAT version of speedfan and try and config it right. i think the way i did it first time was to compare temp readings from mbm and speefan in order to figure out what senser was what, but now i'lll do it from ya pics.
and yea i'lll just wait on that bios you are workin on....
New bios files based on the 1.B official are available at my site. Made a Ballistix and TCCD edition for anyone whos interested.
Removed the 1.B betas.
Very nice SE
I'm going to Flash to 1.B Standard in a few minutes...
BTW do you still plan on doing a version with the VGA ROM from 1.8?
The 1.X BIOS's are not usable for me in gaming.
Also, updated my page, Added 4 new BIOS's
1.B Offical
1.B Standard Edition MOD by Sideeffect
1.B Ballistix Edition MOD by Sideeffect
1.B TCCD Edition MOD by Sideeffect
Hi there SE, just want to thank you for your efforts in modding this mobo's BIOSes. Ther are far more stable and overclocker friendly compared to the official ones. Keep it up dude.
Thanks for the work on the bioses. I went ahead and took the plunge and got a dfi nf4 ultra d board.
Seems everyone is getting these DFI nforce 4 mobos :slap:
If i was buying now i wouldnt. Id get the Sapphire PURE Innovation Gruper Radeon Xpress looks wicked.
The one thing that helps me a lot with the dfi boards are all of the memory settings that are available to tweak. If you have memory that likes specific settings that is a good thing. I will keep the msi board for a second system when I get the cash to finish building it.

wow and its not even the final version of the board and with a bios thats lacking some options..
this board seems to be pretty wicked
price point is pretty high though
How acurate is Neo2s CPU temp monitoring, i got a E6 venice and with XP90 and a good fan its ideling at 40c and goes to 51c on load and thats stock CPU ant 1.35v............can that be possible.....im SURE that the HSF is on good......with same cooler in the same case on the epox nf3 newcastle cpu at 1.7v was idle around 30c and load 40ish.............this cant be right on the neo2 E6 are suppose to be really cool.
ps: im just testing OC and slots 3 and 4 seem better for me with OCZ Gold (BH-5) 2x512
that depends on which bios you have guy some bios's have a temp bug and some dont.
the 1.b series of bios the temps are accurate
the 1.36 and 1.8 bios the temps are around 5-7 deg too high.
thanks....i got one of the 1.A betas ill test the 1.B later
The 1.8 is accurate too i find. The 1.36 is the one that is wrong. I think they fixed the temp problem in the 1.7 bios. So any before that is wrong. The 1.8 1.9 1.A and 1.B all give the same results and they seem very accurate.
Your chip is running warm for that cooling but that doesnt mean that the sensor is reading wrong. Often some of these chips run a lot hotter than others. Its to do with how well the casing is aplied. Could also be that the xp - 90 isnt seated quite right.
hmm, i got that ram too, if you sure it works better in them slots let me know i wouldn't mind moving them there for more spacing etcQuote:

Heres a couple of threads for you to read about this.Quote:

madpete fixed it on his cpu by removing the casing. this is however dangerous but lots of good advice in that thread about how to do it safishly.
You should also check out this thread about max TCase
Here
yup could be possible if your running that warm that the heatspreader isnt touching the cpu die
might wanna give AMD a call, the tech support there is really great and everyone i have called are really a cool bunch of guys.
If your temps are shooting up even idle then somehting is wrong.
temps at idle really shouldnt be over 35c and thats even with a warm case and a medium speed fan.
For instance my idle temperature iz around 35°C. Venice 3200+, 10x250=2500Mhz, Vcore 1.47.
hey SE, couple things:
i set up speed fan according to the way you do it and got the control over the nb fan now, but why is it that the temp and fan rpm readings are so off sometimes? 10000 rpm kinda things and -40 type temps sometimes....
and secondly, i tried the 1.b standard SE bios but that seems to have usb keyboard and mouse support disabled standard... how do i change that and/or should i use one of your other new ones?
thanks and i was stable with 1.55 + 5% which is guess is the same as 1.45 + 5% so ima change it to that and make sure.... also gonna try and do it with only +3.3%
Hi Well The motherboard often has problems reading the fan speeds when they go below a certain speed. its best to keep it in its range. Like mine will have trouble reading the right fan speed after i go below 75 percent so i have the minimum value set above that drop off.Quote:

Usb mouse support is disabled by default in almost every bios i have seen for neo 2 you just go into Intergrated devices in the bios menu and enable the option if you want it on.
I tried the 1.A4 bios but wasn't stable for me, back to 1.9 (Murdok mod)
Btw... active cooling sounded a little too much like whining so here's my 'new' chipset cooling :D
SE u have any idea how to change which temp Speedfan shows in the system tray?
Also, do u still plan on doing the 1.B BIOS with the 1.8 VGA ROM?
EDIT: NM saw what u said on your forums about it.
Looks nice with a heatsink. To be honest it never gets hot anyway so i might do the same thing you did.
Why did you try the 1.A4 bios because thats kinda old now we have had 1.A official 1.B beta 1 - 4 and official since then.
Tried but cant replace the vga rom because it is embeded in the bios rom and not a seperate rom like they used to be. Well were still talking about it over at my forum. Thinking its maybe a Sata Raid issue are you using SATA raid D3kMatrix?Quote:

I'm using SATA, but no RAID.
2 IDE HDD's and 1 SATA drive on port 3.
