Agreed, I have seen not a shred of difference between 801/1101/1301/1305/1405.Quote:

Let us know if you find anything different or interesting. :toast:
trfc would help for making the cheaper memory OC further, and probably break the "Auto SPD" barrier around 370mhz as well.Quote:

hmm don't know my reseller had only that one , others were batch L627 and one was L629...Quote:

Well no-one with my RAM (PC6400 ZX) has had any luck with getting it past 370fsb on this board, wheras no-one who bought uber expensive RAM has had trouble getting it past that.
Personally, from what i've seen and read, i'm inclined to agree with the guy.
1407 for me is 100% more stable than 1405
:toast:
Just flashed, didn't change my settings from what I had in 1405 so no word on whether this is better. Max MCH still 1.65v. Post time still PATHETIC sometimes. It bothers me so much that it can literally take MINUTES to post sometimes yet the computer is still responsive (can wait a few minutes and then hit F8 to enable boot selection menu and it will indicate it immediately). If it was locked up that would be one thing, but it's just sitting there for absolutely no reason. I've disabled all unused IDE ports that you can and set the IDE timeout to 0 seconds with no avail.
Inexcusable. Period.
sniggle, just set all HW Monitoring/fans options to 'Ignored' ('disabled' is not good enough)and POST will be almost instantaneous.
HTH.
Wow, thank you so much! In this thread they just say to set to disabled, not ignored. They need to update it with your information. :clap:Quote:

+ Fixed my x1900 issue where when I first switched on my PC I would not get any image on my lcd or crt, after a reboot it would work fine...
Could someone give me some tips to get to 400-405 fsb? Currently only >370 stable:
Corsair Twin2X 2GB DDR2 (2x1024MB) XMS2 6400 1.95v
E6600 1.45v currently 366x9 stable (3.3ghz)
FSB term 1.3v
mch 1.55

I'm testing an E6300 at work with an Asus P5W DH.
The 6300 seems to want to do more but it is stuck on stupid around 430x7 1:1. I get memory problems going past 430. Is the Asus just the problem? Looks like Dumos Gigabyte does 500 fsb with ease. (GA-965P-S3)
Should I toss the Asus and go Gigabyte?
Or,, will this Asus do 500 fsb and I am just doing somthing wrong? :D

imo, 430 1:1 is probably the approx. max stable limit if your mobo is the older 1.65v unmodded version.
It's the ol' i975 vs i965 and Allendale vs Conroe mobo/cpu matching at play here.
kayomani, you may want to try incr. the vMCH to 1.65v, vICH 1.2v and drop the multiplier to test 400FSB possibility 1st.
Same CPU/Mobo and i get pretty stuck at 430fsb. I can run pi1m at 435mhz and boot at 440mhz, but this needs my RAM at the very lowest divider.Quote:

right, the i965s are definitely better for high FSB testing but newer/modded i975s are not as far behind as before.
Thanks for the info. I'm a complete newb to Core 2 Duo action :DQuote:

Back on topic, anyone know if those L628Bxxx chips are available in the US? I'm ready to finally order my e6600 for my P5W DH...
That's not on topic...this thread is about Bios 1407 lol.Quote:

I had OCZ Plat XTC 6400 and got stuck with the SPD wall on my P5W. I RMA'd the RAM and they gave me the "REV 2" stuff. Now, I can set crazy tight timings past 400FSB. It's DEFINITELY the RAM.Quote:
