Been playing around with board allday with a Phenom 9600 and have got to admit amd have done a great job! The board chipset is amazing very fast and the cpu are ok! I dont see much difference between a phenom clocked at 2.4 and a Q6600! I prefer the amd!
Could you post some screens,maybe max OC with phenom...
I will do today am waiting for my new memory to arrive 1st have not got my ballistix anymore and am only using corsair value ram!
Found new bios 701 on asus website it seems alot better reads temps right and has added new options in bios! It can be found here!

Have found a error in 701 bios i can boot with 0.8 cpu vcore and 0.8 nb vcore and when you go into windows its say on cpu-z and amd overdrive that its at 1.25 so the voltage on the 701 bios arent working right!
701 isn't working with AMD Overdrive for me
When I make any adjustment with AOD the computer locks up and then there an awful noise come through the speakers
It even caused my USB KVM to lock up once
Seems they broke more then they fixed with this bios
701 is complete rubbish cant change muilti in bios or voltages!
Can anyone recommend any decent memory for this board just not long bought some of these geil stick and there rubbish with this board!

0704 is available now....
If upgrading wont cost me anything but time would going from:
8800Ultra/Asus Crosshair
To
His 3870XT Crossfire/Asus M3A32-MVP
Be good idea or not worth hastle?
Can i put Crossfire in First and last PCI-E slot and still get 16X on each with bios options?...
any impressions?Quote:

Cache Memory Cycle
So many new features board seems more stable! Will do a full test tomorrow with results!
Psycho Eddie this board is unreal i would recommend this board to anyone!
Anything I would say is biased, spent the last two weeks working with ASUS on it... but it is the first and only BIOS I would use on the board. ;)Quote:

704 Awesome
Thanks bingo13 :up:
WOW
Figuring the board going to be RMA'ed because of the problem above I went nuts with ref clock
with 603 I couldn't get above 237
first shot 240 with CPU-10.5x NB-8x HT-8x and it booted no problem
Cool but not high enough
Second shot more throttle this time
ref clock 252
CPU 11x
NB 8x
HT 8x
Crank the Voltages
CPU 1.325
HT 1.4
NB 1.1625
Shocked me when it booted and made to desktop
2772 MHz
I nervously ran a few benchies
SuperPI 28.062 sec.
3DMark06 14044
Lightsmark 133 fps
One thing I kept forgetting to check is the temps at full load
The Zalman 9700 seems to have it under control (for now)
Now I want to steal the water kit off my Q6600 to push it farther

Very nice! :clap:
Phenom is getting tempting! Trying to hold out for the BE.
Good to see the HTT going up.
Does the 704 BIOS work with X2's or is it just for Phenom?
- Changing of Trc and Tras still does not work with 0704 here.Quote:

Can't see any reason for this. Never had any problems before, without that "feature". I know that to good from my core 2 duo systems based on Asus mainboards.
Nothing good i can tell about that bios for the moment. Second point is a great regression imho. :down:
