I usually d/l the bios manually and use flashmenu and select update bios from file, point it at the new bios and hit flash. I dont know about the one click update stuff.

LOL, my red one don't have it :(

btw, I can get v1.4 on web

hm... ever since flashing my board from 1.2 to the betas i have been having problems running dual channel. Everything works fine when i just use one stick single channel but when i put in 2 stick for dual channel blue, or black computer wont boot. It might boot once in a while but that is very rare. Been able to do 420+ stable orthos blend priority 9 in single channel. But dual channel is even hard to boot the board and stock=( anyone else having these problems>?

I had the problem as well, since you guys have vindicated me from being labeled "insane" here is how to fix:
start>run>services.msc
Look for Themes service and DISABLE it. Don't just turn it off DISABLE it.

here ya go, 8x multi failure, same voltages as 9x attempt, ignore the orthos reported cpu speed there is a bios bug.

back to the 15/09/2006 BIOS may be a good option.

anyway, ABIT, you should fix this BUG for the guys here, it is a pain to them all.

you please gotta try that test on 8x and 9x multiplier locked, that's where the problem really is for e6600. We have been trying with multi locked, I will have one last try with c1e and eist on and see if I can duplicate your results...

edit just tried, failed, no joy..

no, don't do that, I think it is even more difficult...

no worries my friend thanks for trying to help...

Abit asked for the boards back, so they are going home, no more testing from me I'm afraid....


anyway review is finished..

I can run Rev 2 Plat here, no problems. But 2 things:
1) Set VDim no higher than 1.95V (Plat 2 does not like it higher), this I have with both Abit and Gigabyte
2) Set Vmch from 1.65 to 1.75 up to FSB400. Standard Vmch won't cut the pie.

This is my Orthos 24h stable. Between FSB 378 and 389 it gets instable, but I didn't try in between. No way for the E6600 to run at FSB400, as posted before. I'm not an extreme o/cer but not a noob either.

BTW, which picture format do you guys use to post here? I used compressed jpg, but it is so crappy....

How to make it look nice? Do you host outside (such as imageshack) ?

yes host on imageshack, then use [img]http:/*****[/img]

imageshack will give you the address for direct link use that...

This is my overclock so far. And this is on my scythe mine

abit is working on a 1333 strap and will test it. If it is a success, we'll see it in a future BIOS version. But nothing's promised yet ;)

Nice i would love to see that come to play
