I just installed my X-FI card yesterday, it works in the top slot , zero issues with it so far an I'm on Vista.

I did originally have the Asus card in first

Try using an older version (v6...) of AsusUpdate while @ stock clocks.

I had an older but it said something about boot block.

Had this issue yesterday
Grab Asus Update 6.?, I used 6.0 Beta, it allowed me to flash from 902 to 802

I know I know, AsusUpdate sucks, but in this case, it seems to be the best solution.

Just make sure you minimise the chances of it locking or crashing by running EVERYTHING @ stock!
11-29-2007, 02:22 PM

Owki I´ll give it a try.
I also downloaded afudos 2.11, 2.17, 2.19, 2.21 to check if any of those work.

thanks for the info. are you noticing any performance increases with ram at 600MHz over, lets say 300-400MHZ?

has anyone here used the software the board came with ? Is the power button on the board handy ?
11-29-2007, 02:34 PM
kup

The power button is very handy. If however it feels like it's not working, hold it down or put a little more pressure than you'd normally require and it'll work. I think it's like a safety feature to not knock it and power on/off.

I just tried to install AsusUpdate v6.xxxx on Vista64 but it couldnt install it.
I hate to say this but i think Im stuck with this crap bios for now :)

Afudos /i*.rom /n (you can also add /pbnc to take care of clearing cmos and such)

So: Afudos /i*.rom /n /pbnc

Hope this helps.

After about 25 reboots and changing 1 setting / reboot I´m good to go again.
Im still on 0902 but it seems to work now.

CPU: 450x8
RAM: 600Mhz (1200mhz ddr) CL 5-5-4-5-2-25 @ 2.15v
STRAP: 400Mhz

At last! Bleh @ this bios.

Hints: After the bios update I went into the bios. Told it to set default. Then i changed the strap to 400 -reboot-. 2nd change was mem ratio to 3:4 -reboot- Then i started playing with fsb and :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

I wish someone would clearly answer this question as a lot of people are not finding Ram voltages.

All I know is that you start everest, go to preferences go to:
-External Applications:
Enable shared memory must be checked
Enable writing sensor values to Registry unchecked
Enable writing sensor values to WMI unchecked

There is no option for dram voltage. There is no option for dram voltage charts.

So, I tried the Auto setting and it seems to fix the problem of those huge voltage drops, but I'm still working on it. I got my system at 420x9 at 1.45 volts :shocked:

Well, i'm stumped on this now. I have emailed Auzentech support and will see what they have to say about it.

I have tried both PCI slots. No PCI slots. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and patch. Nil. Diddly squat. :mad:

thx, i have read it and checked the boxes but i only get charts from everest not like this shown above from "shawn".

i think i have also problems with my rams and i would figure out if its the big vdrop.

my sys is running @ 420x9 and is not possible to be stable longer than 2hours. It´s only OCCT stable. And this is curious!!

I have 2x1G corsair XMS2-8500 rig but it´s not possible to run @ this oc @ 200/266/333 strap the only way to be OCCT stable is @ 400 strap with 840Mhz. 1051Mhz is not bootable. my goal is to stay @ 420x9 Prime stable but for me its like a wall.:shakes:

I've noticed strange problem with this mobo - when I touch voltage regulation for CPU, when I set another value than AUTO my machine doesn't even boot :/ . It happens even when I leave all other values on def. settings :/ I've tried bios from 0402 to 0902.

Has anyone noticed this problem??

How about Dram Static control?, do u think this is chipset limited or is it fixable by bios? Because this very important for me, otherwise I will just stick with P35..., as I just like to run 4:5:X

Static control disabled and AI twister light/moderate.
the next best thing to 4:5 is 5:6 in formula due to my tests..
if you have a very strong DDR2 kit you should go then to 2:3.
i prefer 5:6 with performance level 7,static control enabled,twister moderate and TB auto.

what is said is the frist 3 pics are looking like video card issues

also try set to defults in bios then load the newest bios (re download it ) then set to defualts and see what you get. but i would say video card / bios issues

I'm on 0903 now, I'll give it a few days Folding time, see how it works and then give a judgement on it, probably Sunday evening...ish!

It doesn't like the OC Profiles from other bios, even 0901, if you try to use it, it saves to CMOS, reboots and loads all AUTO everything... :P Set it all again manually and now it works!

I'll post my profile later if you guys like? I can post the actual CMOS profile?
11-30-2007, 12:27 PM

I didn't have this issue loading OC defaults from profile. I had done so comming from 0902 though, so maybe that's the cut-off point.

I think 0902 is the cut of point.

I am having no problems with 0902 by the way but are you guys of teh opinion that 0802 clocks higher. I have only had my board like 2 days and I have been trying to reda this thread but their really is too much to take in.

I've noticed strange problem with this mobo - when I touch voltage regulation for CPU, when I set another value than AUTO my machine doesn't even boot :/ . It happens even when I leave all other values on def. settings :/ I've tried bios from 0402 to 0902.

Has anyone noticed this problem?? May it be bios issue or mobo failuire?

From bios 0602 I haven't noticed vDrop :) Voltage Calibration is working :)

Well so far so good for me on 0903. I have a managed to push my system past the point where it fails in 0902, without touching any voltage except adding a .025v to the vcore and gaining 10mhz, OCCT testing going good so far.

I will push it a little further and see results. Might also do a little fsb test.

it's been working since 0505. Where have you been?

edit: speedstep is now in the bios it wasn't in 0901 or 0505. 0901 & 0505 only had C1e 0903 has both. I'm running occt on my 0901 3.6Ghz oc settings.

If I can't get 3.2 GHZ Stable I'm returning it and getting a DFI P35 UT Board. Hopefully I could keep this bad boy !!

Welp I'm in process of re-assembling my system w/ the Maxmius Formula instead of the P5k delxue but the back plate for my aerocool dominator is stuck to the old board so I'm going to have to replace it w/ something different, I can pickup a Thermaltake V1 or a Tuniq Tower for around 55-60 right now @ microcenter, any idea which would be a better choice? or should I just bite the bullet and order a TR Ultra 120ex + Sflex 1600rpm fan for around 80 shipped and wait?

I can get 3.2Ghz on a multi bump alone. why not just shoot for 3.6 ;)

Do you think a Tuniq Tower can handle a 3.6GHZ Load ?

I also have that Grease from the the (TX-2) the new one . Supposedly it works well .

Do I think it can handle 3.6Ghz? yes but would you want it to? No. you might want to look into getting water.

I'm loving this board compared to the P5K Premium. I'm on 0901 and this thing is stable with my Q6600 G0 @ 3420MHz on air. The only thing holding me from pushing further is the ambient temperatures here in Adelaide at the moment.

I think all you people RMAing your boards for one reason or another is the reason we have the latest BIOS limiting everyone elses potential. I was happy with 0901 and was stable at 3.97Ghz. This F*cker wont even post now. I'm sticking with older BIOS...

Why are you running an older bios if 0901 made you happy?

Sorry, I didn't fully explain... I am stuck with 0903 until I figure out how to get to 0802. I updated tonight from 0901. Tried the BIOS flash with USB and got message BIOS is older than mobo. Plz dont tell me I have to hook up a floppy drive.

I just got off the phone from Asus.
I was calling in regards to the problem I had a few days ago with bios 902.
I asked the tech guy what was the deal with removing bios 902?
He flat out denide the removal of the bios, I then mentioned 701 and 901.
His response was vague, so me being an a$$hole and my love for a good fight, I asked for a supervisor.
I then repeated everyhitng to him, and them mentioned I had to goto online forums for help and I found it pathetic that they could not help me, that there course of action was to blame my ram and RMA the board.
So they are offering me the Maximus Extreme if I send the SE back.

Asus update 6.0 will work I had the same problem as you, and worked 100%

I'm on Vista 32 tho may not work if you have 64 bit os
