Given the 890GX is about as good as its going t ever be now, what would be your guess now for 880G/890FX owners :p:Quote:

Does extreme4 have vdroop option in bios hiepgia?What about mem clocking?How much did you obtain on it? :rolleyes:
The 2.42B update is RUBBISH! Since updating to this my PC is completely unstable and I am unable to run the my 'stable' OC.
Even after the downgrade the PC constantly freezes and crashes. I'm just about ready to buy a new mainboard!
tkxmoe, try the values for the new settings I left on the post #392. With this settings and for me, 2.42B is more stable than earlies bioses.Quote:

Or maybe clearing the bios and loading defaults could do the trick.
Hi Davey,
I'll give that ago, as is at the moment it cant do anything for more than 15minutes without crashing. Previously it was prime95 stable for 12hrs. I tried a few clear cmos / reprograms and flash backs but its still unstable.
Dont think ill ever be buying asrock boards again,
Edit
Reflashed and followed your settings, still unstable even at 250*14!
I'd try to flash with AMIBIOS flash utility, instead of F6. There's an option in that utility called "program all blocks". Just maybe.Quote:

You could as well e-mail Asrock about the issue, maybe they send you some new bios. With my older Gigabyte K8NF-9 I would contact Gigabyte support and they would send me beta bioses.
Flash from pure DOS using THIS utility. Use the following commands when flashing; AFUDOS.EXE /i<filename>.rom /PBNC /N
You will need to change the Asrock BIOS file extension to .rom
My board went nuts after flashed with a new bios,but i found the issue fast,UCC was ON by default on my 955BE,and that was causing all the mess,after disabling it everything went back to normal.Also you could try disabling CnQ and C1E see if it works.I highly doubt that rewriting the bios is the issue...
I think it's a shame that even 2.42b still enables CnQ randomly after reset, when it's disabled in bios settings.
I'm beginning to think Asrock bios department could be better, just like ATI drivers department.
Asrock BIOS dev are learning still, give them a chance to get to grips with things. They have to learn too.
I hope you can persuade them to change some stuff. To be honest, I gave up after they started to mess for compatibility with the Thuban. Just an example : My question : After betabios xxxx, I'm no longer able to run my rams at 1800Mhz C6. Typical reply : look here a screenshot with 1800C8. My reply : yes but that's not 1800C6. Their reply : you are using 2gb dimms, we are using 1gb ones... and so on ... feels like talking to a brick wall... BIG SIGH
They got a pretty solid lineup with the 890 series... they just don't grasp it yet... teach them how it should be done...
EDIT: Bios 2.43
ftp://174.142.97.10/bios/AM3/890GX%2...3(2.43)DOS.zip
Found it searching in Asrock ftp... link's still not up in the web.
There's only the DOS executable version, no rom and no windows version.
Anyone tried L2.43? I haven't yet.
Can anyone talk to AsRock support telling them to add vdrop feature in 880G too.It has passed 1 month since 890GX has it and 880G not,ffs...
Anyone knows what clock generator this mobo uses?
2.44 OUT
http://www.pctreiber.net/forum/amd_m...4_13910.0.html
Changelog:

Could be interesting.
Official 2.50 non-beta out
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.as...xtreme3&o=BIOS
They still have to update the AHCI ROM,and improve those damn PSC mems then everything is ok(i think ) :D
U tried 2.50? Are the options from 2.42B there?
