I guess since it does not have 'b' in it so it should be official (unlike v1.3b2), just not released yet. I got it off MSI Taiwan ftp site. Let me know if you need it, I'll pm you the link. ;)Quote:

I have a friend with a 955BE, so I'm good if I need a CPU to flash the BIOS. I should have it up and running tomorrow night sometime. :D
What tests should I run on it? I thought about comparing it to my current E6600 setup but I figure now, it's futile. No reason to compare because it will be blown out of the water.
Where/how did you get 1.4? I'd like to try it out.:up:Quote:

Please PM me the link.Quote:

Bought a 1055T, MSI 890GXM-G65, and 4GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600. It is gravy, from what I've experienced so far. The BIOS boots so much faster than my old one.
My board came with the v1.0 BIOS, and had that 800mhz boot bug. Took a bit to get the BIOS updated (more confusing than my P45 ASUS ), but I put the v1.2 on there. Third boot, I bumped the FSB up and booted at 3150mhz, stock voltages on everything, NB overclocked a tiny bit, and RAM at only 1500mhz. I'm going to play with it a lot more tonight, but BOY is it nice to see 6 cores in the task manager instead of two.
I do however have a couple gripes with this board.
- 4pin CPU power instead of 8pin.
- No on-board buttons for power, reset.
- No "power" LED showing power is being supplied to the board (lights near the socket for phases don't turn on until the board is powered up)
- Only two fan headers (CPU and sysfan near the SATA ports)
- Not a fan with the IDE/24pin placement.
- Needs more SATA
- Would like to see a rear panel CMOS reset
The first four are my biggest gripes, the last three are more minor.
I'd like to add the inconvenient placement of the clear cmos jumper to those gripes.
You do realize this is not a highend segment board, :p:Quote:

I sure do, but I still like the board nonetheless. I'm very happy with my purchase, and I can't complain because I got it for just $80. :DQuote:

CRC32 value is the same as the one I've gotten earlier...so it's the same file/bios.
Ya, mine was free... so I know what ya mean:up:Quote:

Hmm...I wonder why they updated to v1.6 so soon.Quote:

I'm pretty sure that the 1.4 you found was for internal testing, judging from what I know... the new public release should be this next week though :up:Quote:

Anyone tried it yet care to share some insights?
So there will be v1.7 bios next week?
Cross-post from another thread:
3300mhz, 14x236, HTT is 1888. I forgot to change the multi from 8 to 9. If I try and boot at 250 or anything, gunning for 3600mhz, I bump the HTT multi down to keep it around 2000mhz.
CPU VDD - 1.3
CPU-NB VDD - Auto
CPU - Auto
CPU-NB - Auto
NB - Auto
SB - Auto
When I changed the CPU voltage to anything lower than like 1.45, it turned red, signalling me that it wasn't safe to do that. Odd. The CPU VDD voltage started at 1.1v I think, so I bumped it to 1.3 (.1 increments I think?) and it's booting fine now. My RAM is actually underclocked at 1573mhz, 1.657v.
I don't like having the voltages on auto (uneasy feeling, fearing overvolting without my knowledge), but I don't know what to set them at. I have 3300mhz stable, I think, but I don't know what to set any of these voltages at or what to raise when I have instability. I don't know what each effects. I'm aiming for 3600mhz, if not higher.
i'm sure it's not internal testing, if you use the online update the 1.4 bios is the latest, not too sure why it's not available for manual download, anyways, ordered 2 kits of the black edition rams. one stick ok, one stick DOA two stick with error detected.:confused:.Quote:

Well my HTT can go high but my 550 BE is pants. It unlocks but does not overclock much, core or NB.
V1.6 bios.
I dont know much about OC, so hopefully someone can help me on this, I know most ram when out of the box only goes upto about 1333 max, and my ram will go upto 1600, can anyone provide my the right bios settings for this motherboard and ram setup upto frequency 1600.
thanks
If those are the CAS 8 sticks, I can try to get a screen shot later ot type the settings down. I can't untill late tonight though.Quote:
