thnx Gylen, hope I can test soon....(quite) happy to know i'm not alone.
Ok, why would you do that :( 2 posts with the exact same thing (except that you dont point you dont guarantee anthing, so there is a warranty with your BIOSes :D )Quote:

And I would have rather prefere that you didnt mention that misterious BIOS instead of mentioning it and saying I CANT POST IT... :para:
No signs of P04 as of 4:17pm (FL time)
You know it takes time to test all the BIOSes thoroughly.Quote:

Apart from that... I have a life, a job, and lots of reviews to do ( just FYI it takes me about 170 to 190 hours for a motherboard review, and I've got three of them here for review ;) )
Simply put, I can't focus on finding all the bugs for every S2E BIOS right now.

No, I'm not trying to make your post look worse, or mine better as you put it.Quote:

Its a strap change thats loosening the latency on the NB, thats why 450FSB is so stable on this board, because strap changes and easy on the NB.Quote:

Got it a few days ago and did most of the build today.
http://mysite.verizon.net/drose20619...StrikerIIX.jpg
Put it in a Lian-Li case, Ultra 1000W power supply, and Lightspeed phase cooler.
Starting with a QX9650 CPU, OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 FlexXLC Edition and FireGL V7600.
Will use Koolance Exos 2.5 for auxiliary cooling.
Plan to upgrade to a Nvidia 9800 GX2 when blocks are available.
Will probably be setup enough to start benchmarking next week.
Appearantly you don't have full collection heheh :)) Also you don't have lastest 0601 release :DQuote:

You da man PMP...
Well I am on 0511 never tried the 0512 yet, but decided to jump to this one... I started getting some memory dumps.. But I think it is allot to do where my timings are set at.. Wish me luck... :yepp:Quote:

You need to flash the new BIOS with awdflash ( bootable FDD/CD/DVD/USB )
so 601 is a winner?
Je ne sais pas ( I don't know )
I'm packing my stuff for a move.
I'll start testing stuff again this Saturday.
Im glad to hear that. Please report us with some results asap so we can have an idea how well this BIOS is performing.Quote:

Errr I feel your pain. Some other guy on ASUS forums also got his board screwed.
I could flash to 0601 using EZ flash (from 0512).
It seems that some of the fsb holes I had are gone: at least I can go past POST more often, getting everything stable is another story.
I might not be the right person to assess 0601 improvements:
I have really had no luck with the parts I got for my nw rig: my QX9650 hardly goes above 3.6GHz (vcore 1.325V) and my brand new cellshocks do 1800MHz 8-7-6-21 1T only at vdimm 1.9V (1.7V gives me memtests errors), so no margin to overclock :-(
Will a ISO flash work as well??? I never did a awdflash before... I have no floppy drive.. :(Quote:
