i dont know about the DAGF. I think the DAGF and infinity boards each have their own bios, and they arent compatible. the bios you list would be 8-11 and the latest official for the SLI/Ultras is 6-23, so i wouldnt try it.

since im not using TCCD, the 623-3 bios would not be the best for me right? Im guessing i should use the 623-1 (non memory specific) since my Ballistix are Micron chips and the 623-2 bios is for BH memory...
the 623-3 is for all ram types, and works the bestfor all of them.
i just flashed to it from 704-2BTA. It seems to give me the same stability... I guess ill stay with this for warranty reasons.
New Beta BIOS 11/14 for DFI NF4:

OMG! new bios! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
THanks monge, would never have known without you. (subscribed to this thread)
Edit: and it only adds FX60 support :( le poo. Anyone got any other results from it?
Mussels: np :)
Haven't tried it yet - 704-2BTA now and need to install my Opteron 146 first.
Look in the thread for results
Anybody try that new bios?
it looks like its the 623 official with only FX60 support added. I didnt see any need to upgrade to it, you can test it and tell me if you OC any better :D
I haven't flashed yet as I want to confirm something. When flashing, do your saved bios settings also get erased? I forget the actual name for it where you can save 4 different sets of settings.
CMOS reloaded.
And while the flash itself doesnt erase your settings (it wont touch the CMOS reloaded, ever) you should most definately load the optimised defaults and work your way from there, its never good to use settings from a previous BIOS.
You're better off CMOS reloading it in case you go back for some reason, and simply writing down the important settings and using them if you stay on the new bios.
Alright, will try that then. Also, is there any way to tell which bios it is currently running? I have no real need to know it, just wanna find out for the hell of it.
at the bottom of the BIOS menu, or the bottom of the screen when the PC powers on (so long as that pretty picture is disabled) it should have a date code.
6/23/05 = 623. its the date, in US format.

expert bioses are different and will kill the boards, so if you want to pile them up use a different thread and/or CD image.
'Muzz' if you've tried every bios, then its a problem with your system not the bios.
and yes its a stickied thread, and we all come back when theres new bioses out.
Thats right, I don't remember saying there was a problem with the bios, I was hoping there would be some kind of Bios fix for my boards bootup issues.
Yeah I guess I didn't bump up this thread, I went back to my previous posts to see if anything was found regarding the cold boot issue....
Having problems ever since i flashed to these bios... when i first got my mobo(SLI-DR)... which is now 5 days old it ran everything fine, booted on first try and everything... i flashed to the new bios mobo didn't even post... when it did 1/5 time my sata1/2 wouldn't get detected and raid0 wouldn't run properly.... flashed back to 6/23 bios and now i'm still having simular issues..:mad: basically i get 1 LED and no display..Quote:

BTW for HTPC usage I have added 2x512 Twinmoss UTT to my BH-5 2x256 sticks.
I OBVIOUSLY had to change the CPC to off, and I adjusted the ram settings from 11-2-2-2 to 11-3-3-2.5....
The cold boot issue SEEMS to be gone( for 3 days straight it's booted right up), yet I am STILL booting at 250fsb,with the same hardware as before(same voltages also).
The 2x256 Corsair would run Memtest in WINDOWS all day at the settings it wouldn't boot at(and higher, not to mention 3dmark looped, and prime without issues), and the 1.5gb of mixed ram will run it now at the reduced settings np...
This tells me it's a hardware issue.......
It would SEEM to be a timings issue, but since I could run everything MUCH higher than the settings it wouldn't boot at, boot tells me it's a boot/hardware issue with the board.
Jet plane without a place to take off from........
Oh well this POS is at least working at some settings without having to hit insert 100 times to get it to boot.
I guess I have that going for me.......:rolleyes:
Muzz, i've heard that there is a setting in the memory options on the 623 and up bios with "normal, fast, faster" as options. I was told by an OCZ rep to "leave it alone, thats for corsair ram"
I dont know if it will help you, but since you have corsair ram problems, give it a try on all the settings.
I may do that M, Thanks for the info.Quote:

I may just leave it alone for now cuz it has booted str8 up 3 days in a row heheh.
Thanks again

And definitely don't talk about flashing the Bios, the current bios gets Pi$$ed and will make you miserable. :stick:
heheheh
I was wondering what you guys are running for dual core optis and UTT i have found that the 5.10-XCEL2-LL work the best post what bios and timmings...and i will go from there and edit the thread with that info..I will post my timmings lattter i am not at home...
but 245 3.2 volts anything higer and i get wrrors no matter the bios and some not even stable at that...
Dragon
this may sound stupid firedragon, but at 245 did you forget the LDT multi? around those numbers i have a deadspot of a few MHz, because the LDT MHz are either way high or too low.
