today released 0701, now after some hours 0702 ... what about that BIOSes? PMP where are you, we need info about it ...
I flashed to 0702 just minutes ago. Was able to use EZFlash utility with this bios - Unlike 0701. :rolleyes:
Thanks bench for keeping us in the loop with bios releases.
I just tried to flash to the 702 bios to no avail it says ID Rom is different when I tried to use EZ Flash so I need AWDFlash is that correct??
Yes, you need to use AWDflash Guacomole.
Jumping from a version to another via EZ-Flash is a 50-50 procedure. It all depends on which version you are running and which one you're trying to flash.
AWDflash is the tool to use for any version :D
Okay I just flashed via AWDFlash and it worked perfectly thanks..
sweet dude! :toast:Quote:

I have an idea about why you are not 3D Stable, i had the same issue with my 9800 GTX SLI.Quote:

For the IFX I just followed regular 775 installation and it went perfectly well, i don't understand why you find that strange :cow:
Also as this topic is about corruption issues please give me a PM if you need more informations about this as i don't want to go away from the main topic.
Okay I have no corruption on 702 SWEET!! I am 1800FSB on my quad and no issues...
Guys when you're reporting your stable settings, make sure you include the Memory Mode ( Linked with divider, Linked-Synch, Unlinked and which frequency ).
We need to find out if it's a divider issue.
Did you have your fingers crossed when typing? :rofl:Quote:

here are the settings i am using
QDR 1800
RAM 1800 (sync mode) 1:2
cpu settings disabled all cores enabled
spread spectrums disabled
Jmicron Controller disabled
Vcore 1.35000v
LLC Enabled
VTT 1.28v
Ram 1.86v (1.90v real)
NB 1.46v
SB 1.55v
Rest on Auto
Yes I did..Quote:

The failures are relative to CPU, and I can get it to work stable only at sock settings or close to them, if I overclock, I have random errors. Windows memory test works fine, those failures happen only with heavy CPU load or -randomly - in games.
Temp on CPU are not an issue - it is watercooled and during the heavy tests temp is not going up above 60C.
Also errors happened with pretty low CPU frequency, like at 3.6GHz, and I had been able to run XP with an air cooler at 4.14GHz having no problems.
It seems that something doesn't work correctly in Vista - either a part of OC, some drivers or ... ?
I think I have always had that experience that I can be rock solid on XP and unstable on Vista.. The reality for me is that Vista is much more memory and bandwith oriented operating system that stresses your hardware with average use, much harder than XP.. I usually had to up my CPU voltage and NB to get the same settings stable on Vista. Actually always, now I just use vista and I know for certain if I am stable on Vista then I am stable on XP...Quote:

Have you tried moving a file to another HDD? What about using sfc /scannow?Quote:

what kind of errors do you get in vista?
any final word on 0702? Does it fix corruption issue? Still thinking about getting 790i Ultra board, but need to be at least 75% sure I wont get corruption issues before I will get one...
thx
so far two people reported that 0702 works good for them iirc
I think the fact that this thread got really quiet shortly after the release of 702 speaks volumes :D
But isn't the 702 only for SIIE? What about people with reference boards?
I think the MAJORITY of issues have been felt by us poor saps who were suckered in by ASUS... :(
