Hardcase, how did you flash? ISO? floppy?
Hmmm I dont think this might have happened but prob the fiile you guys downloaded got to your pcs corrupted. Half-way download or something, Dont think so but you know sh*t happens.

U can always make a USB flash drive bootable and hit F8 to go the boot menu and boot from the flash drive. To make a USB flash drive HP has an utility. Google for it you will find it.Quote:

Well I am on 0511 so I will flash to 0512 then 0601 using EZ flash. :)Quote:

Yeah, it took around 5 min just reading the 0601 BIOS from the floppy drive, then another few minute flashing. Was going to press the reset button but had to go to the toilet! when I came back it done reading... :DQuote:

lets just hope these issues can be fixed with a bios update, and we dont have to get a new board, even tho eVGA has the best support of any company.
P04 is supposed to be released friday, lets hope it comes tommorow.
I knew this was coming after reading this thread. I have nothing but problems w/ S2E. Corruption all the way after any change in bios, even if I set the timings manually as advertised by OCZ. I've installed Windows so many times in the last couple of days I memorized the serial # LOL!!! Tried bios 402, 508, 511, 512 and 601. I requested a RMA from egg. Only 1 question to the people who were in the same wagon as me, after you guys got a new replacement, did it change anything or the problems continued??
Believe it or not, it worked for me through EZ-flash2 in bios this time.Quote:

Here are some pictures of my bios-settings with P03R2. Maybe it is useful for someone. This are my 24\7-Settings with 4x1GB D9GTR. When i have 2x1GB installed i just change 2T to 1T and 1600MHz to 1800MHz.

Believe me or not, but i would never intend anybody to damage bios by giving bad file...Quote:

Answer is below (changelog, for 0508). So - those who will try to use EZ Flash 2 from any BIOS earlier that 0508 - just will got that message about incompatibility, and needs to flash via AWDFLASH instead of EZ Flash 2.

still need to find P03R2 for Evga - can someone please help me find it?
Sorry, but there is no one aviable. I hope they will implement P1 and P2 in P04.Quote:

I didn't noticed any copy/write changes (or maybe within measurment error) if i set it at Auto/Enabled/Disabled.
nVidia engineer didn't answered my question :(
have a look at the testing notes about P1 and P2 in my threadQuote:

Thank you. Definitely will spend some free time today to find out how does it affects 4x2GB configurations.
where are you guys getting this new 0601 bios from when asus dont have it available on their site ? they only have 0508 ??
601 bios has some holes that 511 didn't have for me... can't post at all between 1840-1930
also, seems that this bios disables P1 and P2 sooned than 511 did. Running 601, my r/w/c and latency dropped considerably at my 24/7 oc @ 460 fsb. had to manually enable P1 and P2 to get the performance back.
not sure I'm a fan of this new bios - back to 511 for me
i am on 0507 and still trying to get a stable o/c at 3.4mhz currently at vcore 1.4875 with pcie at 105 as this seemed to allow me to actually boot at this speed and now running prime95 for an hour so far so good failed before mind you but i upped the vcore to the new 1.4875 so hope that does the trick any suggestions anyone ?
funkflix,
Not really much help for my setup, but thanks for sharing your settings.:up:

Hey Dinos
Do you know if 790i is able to run OC w/ 4 RAM sticks at 1T?
Also, when enabled, does P1 and P2 cause inestability with 4 Ram sticks?
