I have a year old system running well with 1005.21 old beta bios which gives me the agp/pci locks. Are there any new or modded bioses that I could get? It seems all the new bioses I tried a while back lost my agp lock and overclockability. What is the newest bios I can use and keep the locks since I want to upgrade to a newer Venice or dually.
Thanks
I was just curious if anyone has had much luck running the Venice chip on the A8V and what BIOS they found to be best?
I tried a 3200 Venice chip in a system that I could OC 9x260 with a 3000 Winchester (Bios 1009 and 1013) but could barely go above stock speeds with a Venice chip with all else the same. I don't think it's the CPU but rather the BIOS. I tried 1013 final, and the 1014 beta with not much luck and each with strange little divder problems or fan reporting problems. So now I'm back with my winchester waiting for another BIOS release to test with my Venice.
ocz booster vs this mobo. works well up 3.0V ?????????
new beta bios are out

So no one knows of any bioses after the year old 1005.21 that will
show AGP/PCI locks on a REV 1.02 board? Mine is completely stable for a year, but I can not put a new processor in it without a more current bios that lets me have the locks. Any ideas of the newest bios that has locks for REV 1.02 users or modded bioses? If not I might have to buy a PCI express board and geforce 7800 :D If I was rich.
Not necessarly. On my MB it works up to 2.7v. ON some it doesn't work at all. If you are lucky you will get it up to 3.0V (but not more).Quote:

anyone tried this?
Well I'm using 1012 w/ a venice 3200+ @ 2550 (10*255) with 2 1 gig sticks patriot LL running @ 212 (2.5-3-3-10). I need to use the A64 Tweaker to lock in the 1T timing (disabling 2T in the bios doesn't work !). Frankly I haven't messed w/ 1013 or the 1014betas yet. Hopeing someone else will do the heavy lifting . :rolleyes:
Haven't read the thread, but I GOTTA ASK:
How come in 11 months, no one's fixed the thread name?
A8V, not AV8 :) Mod / admin's gotta edit thread to do it FYI. The first post in the thread has it right.
anyone else found that the 1014s suck?
me...Quote:

weird..my OC doesnt work at all.. :(
ive had to UNDERCLOCK 400mhz.
However you cant even do that in the bios. setting to 7x200 doesnt work, it still boots as 10x200.
same as the memory settings, they dont work
1t doesnt work etc.
1013 and 1014s are terrible
Ive sort of found a link though:
2 guys with no issues have rev 1.02 boards
10 guys (including me) have rev 2.00 boards and well....all report the same issue.
I found that the 1014's with a 3200 venice to be terrible.

last week i bought two 80gb hitachi sata to raid0. i install the two disks with no problems (i make raid0 on via not in promise) but my overclock is now 100mhz lower than before. i cant do 2600 with 1.7vcore
i wanna my 100mhz back
cya
though my pc boots when OCed, cpuz says everything is in stock..
I now have a 3000+ Venice (replacing my "aging" 3200+ Winnie .. R.I.P.) ... with BIOS 1014.007 the mem. dividers seem to work correctly .. but the CPU OC is simply awfull ... althrough it will boot at 260x9 with only 1.425v, it isn't prime stable at 250x9 with 1.50v. My old Winnie managed 10x225 with 1.425v without any problems. No0t sure if it's the CPU, the MB or the BIOS :(
as alot of people have found scorp, the 1014 bioses are very unstable for overclockingQuote:

Tried 1012, but at first sight it seemed even worse than 1014 :). However my ex-3200+ Winnie as well as the new Venice 3000+ was/is completly stable at stock settings, with rather tight timings (everything is turned to the minimum, except for tRCD (set to 3), TRC (set to 9) and TRFC (set to 12)).
New 1014 Final is out on ftp.asus.com.tw. No OC tests yet as I'm waiting for my water cooling kit to arrive.
mine reached 9x265 with 1.425V completely stable 24/7.. :DQuote:

I never was lucky with my CPUs :)
1014 bios has the locks working??? someone have already tested it?
The PCI lock works in 1014.007. 1014 final sux at OC .. even more than any other 1014.xxx that I have tried.
Does "disabling 2T" work in the 1014 final ?. It doesn't in 1012. :sonic:
It does ... for any of the 1014.xxx it worked (on Winnie as well as on Venice)
