too you people :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing about 890 boards. I was promised a new bios for the 790FX way before you guys were asking about bioses for the 890
The latest BIOS's for the 890 chipsets are Bulldozer BIOS's I doubt if there will be any others before Bulldozer is released.
Any chance for BIOS update for M5A97 PRO? I'm yearning for core unlock stability....
errr - guess you mean latest BIOS's for the 890 chipset are bulldozer BIOS's? :shocked:Quote:

Hey tonyb, I just sent an email to ya about the 2002 bios.
I was hoping to get a copy of it.
I recently filed down my chipset heatsink standoffs, helped temp's wise but it still didn't get rid of my stability prob.
I'm all for trying another bios.
The only probs I have now stability wise are the crashing explorer after saving a large file(with opera), pic viewer sometimes has corrupt controls(graphic wise), rotating images using transparent selection in mspaint-win7 ver corrupts a 1/3 of the image.
Games and testing programs are stable.
And the prob I have with burning on any type of dvd (tried 4 diff brands of disks), but I think it's the cable, hoping so, the burner is only a month or 2 older then the board :\ (gotta spare burner so I can figuer it out even if I need to replace it).
I'm using the 1902 bios, like to upgrade to something better.
Edit:
Err couldn't edit my post with the latest opera ver lol
Anyone else got the ch4f 2002 bios that can share?
I'm a bit impatient right now, I'de like to get a new bios flashed and a new copy of windows installed tonight.
Hi m8 BIOS sent, sorry I wasn't on yesterday. I see you have 2133mhz ram are you running it at 2133Mhz? I had a few stability problems at 2133mhz took a bit of fiddling to get it stable at that speed I had to increase the actual NB voltage slightly to stabilize the FSB at 267mhz and you will need to increase the CPU/NB voltage as well. Have you tried lowering the memory speed to see if it makes a difference to your problems? they could possibly be down to memory corruption.
Hey dude thanks for up'ing ;).
And no I don't run my ram at that speed, I couldn't figure it out so I run it at 2000mhz (8-9-7 cmd1).
I've tried tons of things, even rma'ed my ram.
It's gotta be either my ram or my vga card.
I'll try a diff vga card tonight and see if that fixes anything.
I gotta try a diff sata cable for my dvd burner anyways.
Anyways I just flashed the 2002 bios, took me a bit to get back online with it, resources changed with this bios (lan resources changed for sure).
Seems quicker though for some odd reason, shutdown times and the internet seems faster, it could be nothing lol :D.
Is this topics still active. Would like to know what the progress on the Sabertooth 990FX is?
Hey Dave i have the same motherboard and cpu could u send me your settings so i can achieve that 5 GHZ lhouston65@hotmail.comQuote:

need new bios to fix this problem.
thanks.
whats your temps in Coretemp? I found as problem temps in Coretemp everything more than 70C (real it could be about 80-85 C!).
yep. more than 70 C.
but my gigabyte 990fxa-d3 bios f5c (new beta bios) have APM options in bios and I disable it.
multiplier not drop (temp > 80 C)
old bios (f4) multiplier drop same when temp more than 70 C.
I can't say either way but I've been sticking with the 2002 bios, seemed more stable but I really don't know :\.Quote:

im using the M5A97 Evo
V-friend: its too much for FX, u need colder temps for not throtling or good stability...Max about 65-66C in Coretemp.
Thanks FlanK3r, now I use coretemp it about 65-68 c.Quote:

CPU sensor reads between 10-20c low, average is probably ~15c. It has been this way on AMD CPU's since X6.Quote:

correct as Beep said.
Thanks Beep & FlanK.
There is a new BIOS 3030 available for M4A89GTD PRO/USB3.
I'm surprised :-)
and now wondering if this board will be able to run the next BD generation this autumn.
changelog:
M4A89GTD PRO BIOS 3030
Improve system compatibility.
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so.../M4A89GTD_PRO/
If it would, this could turn current completely negative impression from this board to more positive one...Quote:

Well, the problems from Bulldozer bios are still there, but otherwise it's fully functional.
I'm still missing mem dividers higher than 1866 and control of active cores/modules in bios.
There's voltage offset mode only and I can't lower volts more than -0.06V, which for my CPU means ~1.33V (1.3875V vid) but on the plus side it's 0.7V, which is enough for LN2, I think.

Thanks a lot for your post.Quote:

Thanks a lot.
Goodbye.
It's currently not possible to test it with Prime95, because I don't have AMD retention bracket for the Megahalems and it's only put on top, plus I don't want to stress the board right now.
However, Cinebench score at 5GHz 1.44V was pretty normal, no throtling and I have no airflow around the VRMs. The board is on a stand without a single fan installed, except 2 Enermax Magma on the cpu, running at lowest possible rpm. Will test with proper cooling soon, just need some free time, it's my 24/7 system.
Problems with the board are not huge. I can think of only these described, plus AOD doesn't work before you enable and then disable again Turbo control within the software.
But core frequencies are not dropping like with Bulldozer even if you don't do it. You had to apply the same Turbo on/off trick to stop cores from dropping on Bulldozer.
Now you just can't change multi before the trick.
So, please tell me if I have got it well:Quote:

Is it right?
Bye.
No.
Turbo control can be disabled in bios and cpu frequency is not dropping - stays the same accross all cores, while it was dropping with FX-8150 if I don't do the trick.
It's related to APM, I think.
With the 8350 I can set 4.5GHz (200x22.5) or any other combination and it will run fine.
However if I want to use AOD to change settings within Windows, I still need to Enable and then Disable Turbo core from the app, assuming it's disabled in the bios.
If I don't do it, AOD sets default multi and default VID, not sure but it might be even Turbo multi, need to check.
TurboV doesn't work. PSCheck works.
Crosshair IV extreme + bios 3027 works as well. Same bios quirks as InfraRed mentioned for the formula, but it works :)
So all considering FX-8350 is already definetely a go for 890FX Asus users?
Seems fine for 24/7. However if you need high RAM clock, you have to significantly increase HT Link and this limits the possible combinations.
Current bios is not very suitable for extreme overclocking, although the board pwm seems to be fully capable.
Unfortunatelly my board is coldbugged, so no point in testing on LN2.
I really hope we'll see fully functional bios, but honestly I doubt it. Still it's good that we have it working at least.
Shouldn't be hard for Asus to fix the bios quirks i think . If they do I will be buying me a 8350 :)
Asus will not (officially said) support new FX-X3XX over 890FX/G/GX platforms.Quote:

Btw Punisher , since you quote me : i never asked for official FX-X3XX support , where do you get that from .
Are you kidding or what?Quote:

I wonder why not for the 890GX? The 890GX is actually an older chip (larger die size, etc). I wonder if it has something to do with the level of HyperTransport supported by these older chipsets?Quote:

Hi! The link has expired and bios is not available on Asus website.Quote:

Yeah not for TD... Just GTD. Anyway I don't think its related to my cpu/nb wall at 2400mhz with FX-8350. Thanks btw.Quote:
