Nothing. But he likes to post... :p:
He also post this same pic to the "Post your E6400 OC Results!" thread. Consider that he's using a 6300! :lol2:
Edit: Hopefully he posted it on the right thread... :clap:
I have put on the bios 0502, but it does not go well on overclocking....
I have had to replace the official 0408.
When will exit new bios the ufficile one?
By
I was wondering if someone could help me understand the new options that are available under the CPU configuration menu in the BIOS v0408. The new settings available there don't make too much sense to me :p:
Thanks in advance!

One more thing, what does "Intel CPU uCode Loading Error" mean?
About the uCode error, I had this with the 0408 bios and the latest beta, 0502. I went back to 005 which I think is the most stable and the error went away.Quote:

If you haven't tried this, just load all default values under the Bios and start from scratch. Maybe you disabled something important while playing around with other settings!
i get a dealy with USB recognition for about 10-20 seconds as the longest...if it hangs longer, i just push reset.
you can adjust the recognition time in the bios as long as the device is on when you post and then go into the bios...go into USB devices and you should see the device near the bottom of the USB page...enter the device and adjust time to recognize device...the longest delay setting is 40 seconds and the lowest is 10 seconds.
a black screen of death and then a reset taking 2-3 minutes to get through the hard drive recognition is excessive...i would either do a turn off and then on after 30 second delay with recognizing the drives or try using the reset button...pushing the reset button usually shuts down the computer for me unless i have exceeded the overclocking for the voltages that i am using at the time....a note: you can also adjust the IDE delay time under IDE settings on the first bios page.
my understanding about the intel cpu code loading error is the overclock is to severe due to not enough Vcore, Vmem and Vmch!...try adjusting the Vcore first.

NOW...i set the Vcore to "Auto," and vmch and vdimm to maximum (1.8 & 2.4)...still, FSB at 440 and the darn computer boots into windows...the memory is set to "SPD" for both scenarios of high/auto Vcore.
the system was never orthos stable even with 1.6 Vcore...look now...1.23v and temp is way less...before i was seeing 63C for idle conditions with 1.6 Vcore...i still think my Ultra 120 heatsink is not working optimally....going to change that out very soon....been waiting on memory to show up at newegg before making the purchase.
under CPU category in the bios, i have the following enabled or auto:
EXECUTE DISABLE LIMIT
C1 CONTROL
CPU INTERNAL THERMAL CONTROL
INTEL SPEEDSTEP
BUT...can you believe it....it seems normal...no BSOD, SO FAR!
nice work...so you set vcore to auto, and get lower vcore to cpu?
i just lowerer my vcore to 1.4 (400x9) atm...i wanna see how low i can keep my vcore, and still keep this oc at the same clock.
i wasn't happy with the high idle temp of 63C and 1.60 Vcore...i just started to experiment with the voltages and certain settings in CPU category.
my approach to overclock is to have a stable system for idle conditions...since i am not running any games, it is not important for me to have an orthos stable system.
yes, the Vcore is set to "AUTO."
PLUS...i have the PCIe bus set to 120 MHz...PCI bus to 33 MHz.
i am a HAPPY camper!:)
EDIT:...hyperpath has been disabled at all times.
nothing really....just sharing the news! :) :toast:Quote:

I have no issue's with what is described above on 0408, I have 2 raptors in raid 0, I did have problems with the marvel after boot though, that thing is a piece of shiznit, you cannot run to simultanious drives on it without experiencing severe throttle, cannot image what a raid array would do to the thing.
However with all the damn pci slots on this board, I just shoved 2 sata controller cards I had laying around in, and run my storage drives of independendent controllers, and use ide to sata adaptors for my optical drives, which are plugged into the other intel sata ports, and all is well, can read write and burn from both opticals and all the hard drives without slow down.
Do you guys have stuff hooked to the marvell adaptor? Is the bootrom on in the bios for the marvel? I would ditch that thing, and try another controller.
have you guys got pcie and pci freq on auto or manual?
I had a few issues crop up on higher fsbs when the pcie was on auto (sync with cpu clock). If so try locking pcie to around 100-105 at higher fsbs and pci to 33.33.
appologies if you've already tried this.

leave cpu microcode on (it recognises the cpu), that'll turn off the errors you are getting during post.
I also set ide timeout to 0 once you have a stable overclock and have stopped pushing fsb.
Can you stick a normal pci card in one of the pci-x slots. Have 3 pci cards (tv, wireless, x-fi) and need a good clocking board. Was going to wait for the new dfi rd600 but its going to cost a bomb when it comes out and its nor expected until next year + no evidence on how it clocks or if bugs yet etc.
Yup they're supposed to be backwards compatible with regular PCI.Quote:

Have a via controller card, a $10 one in the pci-x slot now, works fine

guess I just got unlucky, had a microphone glitch through the front panel of my platinum, could not make it work, a slot switch fixed it, not sure if I was just being lazy, and did not trouble shoot, was weeks ago now
don't feel like swapping cards now, as I am too lazy
everything works great now, so, as usual, will leave well enough alone :)
There's one other thing about those pci-x slots, not all pci cards will fit... My X-Plosion sound card doesn't have the tab cut-out and won't fit in there.
Saw this on another forum, anyone have any idea what it is for?Quote:
There is a Windows Hotfix for dual core cpu's (SP2), to make them work more reliably (microsoft hasn't publicly made this file available for download so here is some links to it; http://www.amdzone.com/files/WinXPdualcorehotfix.exe
Exited a new bios?
By:)
from what I read this helps address the problem of amd dual core not having syncronized core speed among the cores,so by defualt xp will tend to put all load on one core
many people do not realize that Intel and Microsoft have worked closely together over the years on improving their operating systems.

hehe nah, it was a schoolboy mistake... I did a reformat on Monday and installed the old drivers when I should have installed the latest ones.:slapass:
Ah!:D
Has anyone done any vmods to this board. Getting a small amount of vdroop under load from 1.464 to 1.44. Also does anyone know where the point is on the board to accurately measure vcore and vdimm.
Using bios 0005 and seto 1.4v gives 1.46idle and 1.44 load. Set to 1.4125v and get 1.56v idle and 1.54v load. This is massive overvolting - is it just this bios, anyone else get this much?
anyone try bios 0506?
I havenīt seen a download link for 0506.Quote:

So does this fix the reboot issue?
Share it with us ;)
Well there is a entry for 506 here but no link yet. Someone send it to him?

amen.:)
Anyone else have any more experiences with this new BIOS?
I'm still using 0408 and seem to be running fairly well, just curious if I should bother with this new release...
i am not changing bios any time to soon...0408 is very good for me.
I tried 0004, 0408, 0502 and 0506 bios, all give same overclock, 0502 and 0506 undervolted, other overvolted. :)
got one of these boards today and am purring along with 0408. However, temps are considerably higher that on my p5wdh. anyone else noticed the high temp?
using the same HS and cpu that was in your P5WDH?

i wouldn't be to concern over the temp issue if you are within 10C
i have usb issues with this board too...sometimes no boot, til i unplug usb kb and mouse...wondering if the new bios will fix that...i am on 0408
have you tried a plain old "reset?"
i have a PS2 KB and an USB mouse...most times it post and boots fine...the only time it has trouble if i left my USB 2.0 drive on overnight and the drive has gone into a hibernation mode...usually it hangs on that event...my correction is to push the reset button; from there it post to boot.
well, after playing with evga680i mobo, i came back to my ws pro...still have the same usb issues, but this mobo is definately a better board than the evga.
both have quirks, but i would rather deall with the quirks of this mobo....waiting on the stryker extreme..
0506 is now officially out.
Checked that page, but no new CPU has been added for that BIOS...Quote:
P5WDG2 WS Professional BIOS 0506
Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com.tw/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx
the last bios is now 0507
Last BIOS, or latest?
And what is the word on this 0507?
Has the reboot issue been addressed finally?
Where download the bios 0507?Quote:

Someone able to host it or PM?
I just flashed to the 0507 bios and the only difference i noticed was the option to disable one core in the bios (if that's new)
And no fix for the cold reboot still:mad:

One problem though is trying to get my memory stable. Cant get them stable past 482mhz @ 4,4,4,12 with 2.2v in bios (2.3v in windows). If i up volts to 2.25 or 2.3 it makes no difference and ai booster reports weird values then so not sure if its working. If its not mem volts causing probs what is it:
Cpu is at 386 x 9 which is stable
Ratio 4:5 to memory (gskill 2gb 6400 hz kit)
All board volts are at mimimum
Memtest in dos immediately crashes if try and run 3,4,3,8 @ 390mhz at 2.2v which also seems weird. Maybe memory just wont do this but would have thought if it can do 482 at cas 4 it could manage cas 3 at 390mhz
386 FSB with all board volts set to minimum seems unlikely, at least not with any realistic stability.Quote:

thanks for the bios i will give it i try ...now if they would only fix the cold boot problem and my aibooster only goes to 450fsb . guess i'll have to start useing clockgen if i can't figure that out .
thanks for everyones bios setting i hit 3.8 dual 32m no problem and never put the vcore over 1.5v .
I now have 0507 bios if anyone wants it. Cant remember the link i got it from but it was from a german forum. PM me if you need it.
Havent had time to try it as have exams at moment and need computer working. We need a bios that allows loads of memory setting changes like released on the p5w64 board.
