It should revert to the stock bios.
Did anyone try to run 4:5 with FSB running at 400MHz with this new bios?
Hi, all running just the same with 1901 as it was with 1707 1801 1804, zzzzz

Gonna try 4:5 mem to see if I can get it stable, then make a determination if I will stay or go back down. I don't mind being slightly clocked lower since my performance is up.
Okay, I'm at 4:5 with 380fsb and 950mem, and I got better performance all the way around.. Granted, I'm only looking at 3dmark06 breakdowns, since I never took number readings from superpi, so my apologies for that.Quote:

I wasn't stable at 385x9 with same timings on mb 1901, so went down to 380x9 and did same 1:1 tests. GPU drivers have not changed, and got 11638 3dmarks (5156 sm2, 5182 sm3, 2979 cpu).
Now I did 4:5, 380x9 mem at 950 4-4-4-12 28-6 (1901 bios), i got: 11693 3dmarks (5150 sm2, 5179 sm3, 3047 cpu).
Marginal? Sure, but I think I'm going to stick with this bios and 4:5.. At least until people show us some superpi numbers showing which is the computational right way to go.
Let the comparison matrix's come!
1901 are now official, already posted on their website.
i can do better overclocking with bios 1804 than any other bios.
i've done 465x7 with my e6300 without mod. :D
1901 is a crap.
Just ordered a new chip from BiosMan. My board does not boot at all. Completely dead. So much for the bios protection. :mad:
Hey bichi, speaking of limp wristed hayseeds. 2 questions 1st. If you just got the bios and gave it a quick try, why did you change your sig so fast to reflect the new bios. 2nd if you are not hayseed why did you not change your sig back if you really did revert back to 1707. Huh? Huh?

I went to 1901, then reverted back to 1707 because you guys gave me a scare. But it didn't really seem that bad.
well ive took the plunge and upgraded :rolleyes: and i tried to do the ai booster inbuilt 30% over clock got to the desktop then my screen turned yellow then moniter went off tried again only usin the fsb overclock seting that it has and that worked no bother :) (newb to oc'in) why i tried built in 1 :( and runnin it back at stock now seems okay but i dont really know wot to look out 4 :confused:
1901 seems atleast as stable as 1707 for me so far. Orthos tests tonight so that's when I'll be able to see any real differences if any..
I upgraded coz I believe it probably also has some improvements for Vista again which I'm moving to soon
doesnt 1901 also usher in the support for 1333 fsb intel cpus's like it was noted on that asus site that showed the bios and model of board for 1333 support.
ICH7R vs EZ backup vs E-Sata
Found this while browsing
I am still on 1506. Do I need to upgrade or is it recommended? If so what version?
I'm still on 701. I haven't seen a need to upgrade till now. I *may* give it a go using 1901
Just read the first post:
"lawrywild's current recommended BIOS version: 1707"
Although I believe there's no perfect BIOS version. Best to read the whole thread to found the better match according to your needs.
where can i download the 1901 one? its not beta, right?

An update to my OC decrease:
I tried a different PSU that I had here and I got the same results. So I went to Fry's and picked up an eVGA 680i board and just got it all hooked up. My overclocking is back! There is definitely something wrong with the board. I guess I will RMA it and sell it. I removed the covers off of both the heatsinks, anyone know if Asus will refuse the RMA because of this?
Well, I guess it's time to put everything back inside the case. Thanks for all the help everyone.
just RMA the asus board they are pretty quick on sending it back.

Any new experiences with the 1901 bios??? I would like to know if its posible to run 4:5 stable (fsb=400/mem=1000)
Bios 1901 sucks!!! It gives me orthos error after 36 minutes with the same settings os bios 1707. Now i want to flash back to bios 1707 and says that bios 1707 is older than the motherboard :doh:
Already covered if u want to downgrade... use Afudos 211.
