leghoft and my oic? is good o not?
If you are happy at ya current speed then yes... just revert back to 17xx bios if the 18 series is not... best bios for me was 0803 and 1406Quote:

I sold my boards before 17xx series went official... so I cannot comment on that. Remember that a newer bios is not always better... if the rig is stable no use in flashing at all...
I'm really not having luck with this, it was all good last night......had it running fine and was ok running IntelBurn and Prime for 6 hours. Woke up this morning and got error messages....kernel missing...and couldnt repair it so have to reinstall vista again.
use norton ghost or sortliek to create an iùmage of ya partition, will save ya loads of time reinstalling over and over again... give us your settings Oggie mate... proves again that IBT is not bulletproof
Cheers mate for your help :up:Quote:

Hey Leeghoofd, just curious about the 20-20 setting. The small FFT test (which I usually employ) is 8-64. Is 20-20 more sensitive to CPU vcore? Thanks.Quote:

But hardly any , if any program, stresses ya cpu like that... to me IBT is total overkill
pff i am having big problems again :-(
I was overclocking my cpu and i got a corrupt bios (i don't understand how this is possible) i got it fixed.
But now its impossible to OC :s keep getting a boot block. I changed the bios to the 1704. (i was alway's using the 1406).
I mean could some one please help me out.... Its not like i changed alot but for example changing FSB to 340 causes boot block...
just swap the Bios chips man, or if ya feeling keen do a hotflash to rectify the corrupt one
Ok need a bit of opinion, been running prime for over 8 hours and no probs. The reason i did it cause this morning i couldnt even boot up on stock settings . What i did was made sure that my sata cable and power cable was properly attached to my had drive.....could that have been the problem ???
Yes, it could have been the problem. Good test would be to do some gaming on the rig now, if that passes, try Prime Blend tomm for an hour or so, if thats all good, you should be all set.Quote:

Someone has bios 1805 unfelled
ok guys, i lowered my dram frequency to 850 to get 1:1 with my fsb and i cant notice any improved boot loading time, r u sure 1:1 ratio is really that helpful or is it just hype?
the only thing that changed is the ram frequency, timings stayed the same, i know i should be thinking about tightening up those timings but what would be the right values for corsair dominator at this obviously underclocked freq?
i know keeping freq low if all 4 slots r occupied is good for the memory controllers lifespan but what r the tradeoffs , there must be some, i gave the memory controller more breathing space by lowering the frequency but what will happen if i tighten timings?

update: ive set the timings to 4-4-4-12, boot time stays the same but system responsiveness im not sure, it just might be a bit faster
i already hotflashed to rectify the corrupt one....Quote:

Thats why i came here :)
Try Koda's FLASH tool mate, and don't flash with an OC, reset all to default, just up ram voltage to the required voltage... if the 2nd bios chip (mine was with 0803) didn't work either I think you bricked either board or ram
okay the last part is like chineze :p but it sounds bad. (and if it were bad would it be possible to get an rma out of that :D )Quote:

And i wil have a go with Kda's FLASH tool.
Thanks in advance
edit,
ow come one a 1GB memory stick :s cant i just delete some of those biosses that are in his file? I mean i am oldschool my memory stick is like 512Mb :D
