Hmm...interesting. So you removed the actualy CPU retention clip from the board. I should check that.Quote:

I thought this way could fool the system to flash to rf bios rom but it still identifies its original bios being diff.
AFUDOS is a little complicated for me so I'm still trying to figure out a way to flash using AFUDOS with a dos bootable USB stick. I did managed to make a bootable usb stick with afudos 2.36.exe file and rf0219 in the root directory and typed in the afudos /irf0219 /pnxx /xx i can't remember and it just keep on saying bad file name...any ideas guys?
Does teaming NIC's actually help even though you are on one router/cable connection? I wouldn't think it would as it would be putting more overhead on the router and cable modem.
Maybe you need to type out the full file name with .rom or .bin extension?
the full file name is RF0219.ROMQuote:

the correct syntax is
afu236u /irf0219.rom /pbnc /n
assuming your using this version of AFUDOS
Could you please post your findings on this subject, still looking for any feel /difference when using it.Quote:

I have played with it for awhile now and I cant see/feel a difference no matter what I set it to, even benchmarks are so close I cant say if its having any effect

yeah you can run 8.5 for 8400
Thanks for ignoring my question you guys :)
Try the above changes mate... be carefull Dram voltage overvolts 0.1, CPU PLL too, FSB termination voltage undervolts with my board...Quote:

thanks...
flashed two MF now to RF bios 219. works fine.
i testing the bios settings now.
Perhaps your question was overlooked or misunderstood
I was under the impression it was REAPER not ripper
And you will have to supply more information than "not working unless set to auto"
What do you mean by not working????
Yeap its the REAPER series.

that ram is rated 5-5-5-18 is it not?
you might want to relax the timing a bit
get trfc off auto 50 or 55 would be a good start.
NB volts will need more than auto will give it, 4GB is hard the NB I would start at 1.49 and adjust from there
FSBT 1.40
SB 1.050
Do you have 2x2GB or 4x1GB?
2x2GB Kits.
And i had them at 5-5-5-18 and still it didnt work.....
again what do you mean by dont work?
What does your lcd poster say?
It just stays stuck in
IDENT DRAM
or something like that.
so its not the ram its your bios settings
no biggie to fix
try this for starts
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
Ai Clock Twister : Strong
Transaction Booster : Enabled

Yes you're right. The file name is AFU236U and that's the version of the ES AFUDOS I've downloaded. I just realized that I was too anxious to get it to flash so I made a typo of 0218 instead of 0219...Quote:

my mobo had 0602 BIOS originally. I flashed it to the latest beta mf1004 but it's still not fully stable at ~470FSB * 8 multi Q6600 G0. So I downgraded to mf0505 BIOS using the bios crash recovery renamed formula.rom fools method. Like KUP and a few others have suggested for the better stability with 0505 bios for quads; I don't find it to make much of an improvement for me for the past few days of testing. None of the mf bios I've tested could bench at 475FSB*8 multi Q6600 G0 with 333FSB strap and stable with newest v25.6 Prime "Blend" and even OCCT. However The CPU is much more stable up to ~3870mhz using *9 multi(less stress on the NB) and 400FSB strap tested with prime smallFFT. I hope the Rampage BIOS will give me 475FSB*8 prime/occt stable.
I personally don't think it matters which mf bios you've before you can flash to the rampage bios.
1. Please refer to the 1st page in this LINK and read the procedures on how to make a DOS bootable USB flashdrive.
2. Download the latest RF BIOS as of today: RF0219 from this LINK
3. Download v.2.36ES AFUDOS progra from this LINK
4. Unzip both RF0219.rom file and AFU236U.EXE to the root directory of your DOS bootable ready USB flashdrive.
5. As with all bios flashes; revert your BIOS settings to default and reboot your system with the USB flashdrive sticked in.
6. Upon rebooting; press F8 while posting and select boot from your USB flashdrive.
7. Win98 screen splashes and you're in DOS mode with C:\>
8. Type the following and make sure you don't make a typo like I did from the screenshot:
C:\>AFU236U /IRF0219.rom /pbnc /n
*Note: NOT case sensitive.

9. When finished...reboot system...select all settings to default in BIOS and reboot again. Do a full clear cmos procedure.
10. Congrats and good luck OC.
