i just flashed to 913. At first it wouldnt post when i tried to change some options from default. I recleared the CMOS and did all my basic changes first, then F10'ed and let it post. Then i went back in the bios and dialed in my overclock. I find that this board prefers it this way and it worked just fine. The weirdest part is when i booted into windows my windows "Theme" had changed. LOL, never expected that one!
waaat? hehehe :D what a bios.. :D mmpt.. :( no official bios?
913 is the best i get 420 easy.....
like 317 but overclocker// :)
Any1 else have succes with 0913?
Yeah mate its been quite kind to me.
Although i have problems booting about 385 with 2x1gb or ram i can clockgen up to 405 1:1 now. Thats using memset though.
If DFI can implement a trfc and a 1333strap in the bios then things will be as they should.
still getting some form of cold booting but greatly reduced

Well decided to finally give one of these beta bios a shot. 0913, works pretty damn nice overclock wise. Currently running 366x9 on the 667div with Vcore=1.37V (+87.5mV).
Its running pretty stable right now, but I worry about my temps a bit. Idle CPU is like 50C (coretemp), under orthos{blend} load it can go up to 63-65C(coretemp) and the northbridge gets up to 64C(ITE SG) as well under orthos. Probably going to have to get that NB cooler, but there isn't much I can do for the CPU, I've already remounted it and was very careful about it, should be getting the best contact I can possibly get.
Unfortunately the cold boot problem still persists. I can get around it by waiting a few seconds after I realize it isn't going to post and then hit the reset button. That is good enough for now, but if they don't fix that in the next 1-2 bios releases (beta or official) this board is going up for sale. I don't mind the low overclock, actually I can't find a use for that speed unless I am using my work physics sim, but the no cold booting is annoying.
1.8@2.97
Vcore=stock
coretemp=39-46 (my house is hot)
all the other settings are like the 317 bios-stable:banana:
hey guys! hows the new bios goin? i bought a gigacrap ds3 for the meantime before i get my p5b next week. im stable at 400x9 fsb =)
Well, so far I've gotten from 360 all the way up to 365 on the new bios (0913). 370 will not post.
I used winflash since my floppy drive seems fried and I was too lazy to pull one from another machine. Everything seem a-okay. Of course I haven't tried to go back to an older bios, so I'm not sure how well it will work.
Tad
well well it seems the fun time is over for me :( just booted up the comp and noticed that it didn't detect my lan at all, couple restarts and still nothing...so then i just throw one pci card in and power it up and now i don't even get picture O_O no post no nothing just fans start spinning but that's it, cleared cmos but still it stays silence...
I think new LP UT 975X will be ready soon......till then, http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=124124
wow nice clocks.. :)
do you encounter any cold boots?
is it orthos stable?
what is your voltage and temps.. :D
congrats man.. its a nice OC using this board.. :woot:
Man thats a nice OC you got there for 2048mb ram.
Got any magic tips you want to share?
What cooling and volts? Any mods?
What settings have you changed?

Definitely this board needs tons of nerves. Lot of patience is needed if you wanna rich some higher FSB frequency. I just received board with 0731 and it was not possible to boot system over FSB=365MHz. I flash 0913 and mainboard start to improve FSB speed. No mods, Vcore is 1.48, CPU temp is 51 C, air cooling (Zalman 7700CU). Again, I hit the FSB wall at 415MHz, than try Clock Gen and get 2MHz more. I need more time to make some additional benches. I faced several times cold boot but only in high steps O/C attempt (10MHz step). Once I reached FSB=415 I didn’t encounter any cold boot.
Yeah small steps are a must.
What strengths do you have set in bios. I am experimenting with them at the moment. But the booting is giving me the :banana::banana::banana::banana:s. It boots one out of thirty times but when it boots its rock stable.
well my mobo is alive again \o/ got it to boot up nicely this morning without lan of course and i knew it had to do something with 9/13 bios so i just flashed it back to 8/30 and lan is back wuhuuu.
and with OC i think i'm at my limit and i mean MY limit cause everything over 350fsb is pain in the ass to get stable so i'm just gonna stay at 350 and be happy about it.
so here is my final results with this mobo:
CPU: E6700
RAM: ocz pc-7200 2gb kit
In Bios:
350x10
pci-e is @101mhz
s-ata locked @100mhz
cpu voltage: 1,39v
ram voltage: 2.2v
nb voltage 1.75v
ram speed is @667mhz and strengths are 3x everything else is "auto" and with that i get 5-5-5-15.
surprise surprise no lan today >_< oc or no oc it makes no difference, what could it be O_o
Did you reflash back to 830 with the settings that colfin listed above? If not, try that.
nope, i thought it only matters if u flash back to older versios like 731?Quote:

I may be wrong, but from what I understood those switches should be used any time you are rolling back a bios, just to be safe.
yea maybe but i used winflash, no floppy here :)Quote:

RGone posted it on dfi forum. Didn't sort my cold boots.
BTW i had warm boot issues with 913 :confused: I could boot cold but couldn't f10 save in bios or restart windows without pc hanging. When i powered off for a few mins, it booted fine. Back on 731 & cold boots. This $hits got my head wrecked.
Yeah i have got bad warm boot problems too.Quote:

New bios which will open up multi on X6800 will be release:toast:
woah really.. cant wait.. :D hope its the bios we all been waiting for.. :)
