Yes - with bios 0614 or later

Is there any newer beta bios available for our board?? Im using the 0614, and its working great, but im as many of you guys, always wanting new stuff, new drivers, new bios etc. etc. So anyone know of any newer beta´s?? And does someone know where guys get hold of the beta´s?? Is there a Asus FTP with beta bios´s somewhere??

Thx for any answers..

thanx so much

I have the problem of SLI
when CPU is 3.5GHz above,neither SLI nor single card could run 3DMark01. once the FSB below 350MH.everything is normal. CPU is E6700, it is stable on 3.8GHz, problem of PCI-E freq?

SLi? I take it you mean a 7950GX2? Having SLi on this board is just... erm.... well it's just... "JUST"

How sure are you that you're "stable" at 3.5GHz... Failing 3DMark (especially '05) is a telltale sign ya need more VCore. Can you pass a 4 hour Large n Small FFT Orthos run?

DOn't nobody buy ANYTHING from ZipZoomFly again!!! Holy crap, they suck monkey balls! :slapass: :mad:

I just got off the phone from them regarding the RMA of my bad board, and they told me that they have to "test" it, and IF they see something definitely wrong that either they or Asus can't fix, then they will send me a new one in 10 business days, blah blah blah......... I was like "are you smoking crack??!!!!"

I called my CC company and told them everything and put a dispute in....and got a temporary credit and ordered one from newegg (they are actually on sale right now cheaper than ZZF).

Long story short, ZZF got their panties wet and said they would issue me a credit, but it would still be 10 business days (why, I don't know).

Needless to say, I will NEVER buy anything from them again.....I dont care how great their prices are. Compared to newegg, they suck balls!:censored:

Because you still haven't got a haircut..... :D

I got a board from ALLSTARPROSHOP.com and it was bad. They gave me a credit and I shipped the board back and they told me to by one somewere else so I can get it quicker. SO I bought my second one from ZipZoomFly and it arrived today. Much much better. 460FSB out the box with SuperPI 1M 13.868

I never have had a problem with them at all. Thats odd. THey are usually very good with Customer Service in my experience.

I bought my MoBo and Corsair RAM from ZZF, guess what? I tried to RMA my RAM and the bastards never asnwer my request, so now they're in my schit list of "Do NOT Buy From", Ever!.

I disliked egg for a while but they're out of my schit list now and they're in the #1 spot. From now on ZZF can :kissbutt:.

WHy dont you just call Asus for an advance RAM and avoid all these hassels from ZZF. btw, i will never buy from them also.

I got all my stuff (except memory) from mwave. They were a bit cheaper for the mobo and CPU since they discount each item you put into a motherboard/cpu bundle. They just didn't have the memory in stock so I had to go to zzf for that. If I had to do it over I'd still go to mwave but I'd get some different memory. I'd like to be able to run tighter timings, but just can't. Oh well.

I broke 490mhz wall on my board with bios 0706.

Hi zizi,
what is the highest FSB you got before 0706?

490mhz was stable with 0614.

i have noticed, that if i set my NB Vcore to anything greater than 1.45V, then the PCI-X Link Width drops to 1x and the performance suffers a lot. Any clue why this is happening?????

:stick: :stick:

I'm experiencing similar things..: My E6400@3.2 is running great after i raised the Vcore and adjusted the memory latency (using Mushkin Em2), but 3DMark06 was like half of the points compared to stock clock (2.13G).. After a lot of research i found out that Pci-E switched to 1x. I momentarily fixed it by raising NB VCore to 1.55 but i'm not happy with it as MB temperatures are rising. All other Voltage is @ auto atm, should i raise SB VCore or is there another way to fix this ?

maybe it is the answer why the PEG MODE must be set to"slow" to enable sli on this mobo

Does cpu-z detects pci-e speed @ 1x when this happens?
