hm, actually i don't think the mobo is in a bad position, i'll check it..... i mostly think that it's my bios that doesn't support conroe maybe, i'm gonna install a pd805 and flash to the 0903 bios version, then i'll reinstall again the conroe and check if everything works.
Is this beta bios supposed to work fine with B2 revision (official conroe release)?
I've read on the site that the official conroe B2 revision may only work with 0801 and above..... i probably have 0701...
my understanding there is a problem with the GF7950 and this board and others...do you have another video card to try out?
i've used this same system for 2 months so far with the Pentium D 805, and i've seen people testing here on XS p5wdh, 7950GX2 and conroes.
Unfortunately, i don't have any videocard at the moment to test it, but i'm sure it's not a videocard problem.
get my P5W DH tomorrow
hope asus make this bios so wifi can be disbale.
That happened to me I just reset cmos and it worked.
Just do the jumper reset as you might have to take out the vid card to do it the battery way.
The WiFi card is removeable. I removed mine.Quote:

Just installed a pentium d, flashed bios to 0903 version, and reinstalled the conroe and it worked..... it's a final step B2 E6600 2,4 ghz Tray Edition, i booted it up at 3,6 ghz now @ 400x9 and it's working great, 13s at superpi mod 1.5xs 1m....... great stuff for a tray edition, someone told me that the tray's are not that overclock capable, and someone told me also that final retail version of teh conroe are not as good in overclock as the ES editions.
I have this E6600 @ 3600 Mhz with an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and Artic Silver 5, running @ 1.5v @ only 35°C (and it's warm in my room).
Well, couldn't be more satisfied than this i think :)
Hrmm.. so far I'm unimpressed with this new bios version. I'm getting, as someone else stated, the problem where my PC probe CPU temp jumps to like 250 degrees randomly.. and also my AI booster reports buggy information. I've got my 805D at 3.7 (185x20) and AI booster will report my CPU running at 3.4, 173x20 while CPUz and everything else still reports the correct number.
I didnt have this issue on the old bios i was using (which is what the mobo shipped with..) It is a beta though.. so I'm sure these will be fixed.
I also personally noticed an increase in time before the initial POST.
Has anyone noted an improve FSB stable overclock with this Bios or infact any of the New Bios's
Thanks
How is this board compatibility with OCZ PC2-6400 Plat (CL4-5-4-15 @ 2.1v) ?
I'm leaning towards it for Crossfire/SLI and all the features it packs (plus hopes for 450 FSB on E6400 with better BIOS)..
But I don't have any other DDR2 than the OCZ plat, and I'm not sure if it'll POST on first bootup?
Yes you will but until they do shut up already. I'll bet you 100 bucks it's not a beta!Quote:

903 fixe's the long search for usb and disc in the bootup screen ??Quote:

how is it with a E6600ES ?
Does it work ok ?
Don't want to do the flash and have to put the Celery back in to get it back up and running again
i didnt see any faster bootups it still takes a long time to search devices on bootup

I was using version 0301 until today.
So, I rip it down, put in the 6700 and fire it up.
Da*n PC Probe2 beeping at me every couple minutes again. So I install speedfan and it says temps aren't moving. Other than that it idles at 31c. Stock volts and everything.
I was hoping this bios would fix that, but looks like ,not!
i use speedfan. i have never seen these random readings. ive used 501(?) and 701 and 901
I'm not sure, but this BIOS seem to have helped me with FSB a bit. Before, i was only able to Prime at 420mhz, then i hit a brick wall. Now, i am inching my way up past 422mhz, still priming. I wasn't able to do this previously.
This BIOS also seems to bench a bit faster - in SuperPI 1m i score 29.4s at stock, as opposed to 30.2s on previous BIOS's. May have been luck, but i reckon this one's a bit of a keeper.
Off topic but if you haven't got your E67 yet, why are you saying "E6700 @ 3.6Ghz" in your signature?Quote:
