Any chance the AHCI verison of any of the bios's will move to the latest version?
The asrock boards get the new versions with there bios's

I will be back in the office tomorrow and will have a listing ready of the various voltage settings.
Can you also address the throttling issue I have been seeing after flashing from 055 to 1304. Seems like when the processor hits 52* it drops to 1000 MhzQuote:

I have still yet to experience this on the M4A89GTD Pro or the Crosshair with any bios.Quote:

I'm using
where bios.rom is the filenameCode:afudos /ibios.rom /pbnc /n
PS: Tried 207, 211, 226, 229
AFAIK you just can't flash back to an older bios.Quote:

It really would be nice to see multipliers, and vid's for each power state mode.

And working ecc for the cpu.
Cpu-nb config stuff, like unit id clumping and clock modes.
Pcie config stuffs like speed, pcie link state power management config.
And the works, ie all latencie reg's for every chip on the board.
Including 2nd'ary latencies and disgard timers, stuff like that.
And....
One more thing I can think of to top it off.
tAC and tCK timings for all 4 slots, only need 1 set of timings, rather not run my mem at diff timings when it comes to those...
I can mod the spd's, but I'de rather not these days.
Modding it with the bios, temp like for each boot, would be freaking awesome.
Would allow for a slightly lower latency and slightly higher max clocks.
Oh shoot one more duh...
The master pic controller, the 8253/4.
I would like to beable to change this timer to something like 1.5x the normal speed.
Example, "POST_67S" in award bios'es.
Sorry for spamming:
2nd section is the code I usually use, 1st was old and for some other board at the time I last messed with it.Code:;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

The function "Set_tCLK_15X" (1.5x), is about what I want it at...
This would speed up booting ALOT...
And making things a tiny tiny bit more snappier overall.
Should be adjustable though, because it causes some peep's probs with the drives.
The prob, drives use this timer to setup there internal timings of there own.
If it's to fast, the drive can't work.
So it should be adjustable in steps, default 1x or 0x0000/0000h.
That's pretty much what I want...
But I doubt anyone cares lol... ^^
I guess it doesn't hurt to put my req out there once though...
I'll try the new bios "if" my setup is stable after I get my mem back from rma...
Should be anyday :\.
Edit:
Maybe I shouldn't be posting code like that..., ohwell.
Actually it's OCP. I assumed it meant "OverClock Protection" so I turned it off for the CPU. (see Below)Quote:

Bingo13: Any info on the new Bios settings?
I appreciate the steppings for LLC, but they don't seem to function the way one would expect them too... :shrug:
For instance, setting LLC to 50% actually results in Vdroop of ~.022v when the core is loaded.
I was expecting it to add to core voltage under load (less than 100% LLC of course), but not to lower Vcore!
FWIW, I've gotten the best results with these (Extreme Engine) settings using 1304:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...t/DSCN0548.jpg
thx Dave for the info!
Over Current protection ? darn can't test the bios, board is somewhere else at the moment For your LLC findings Dave, seems Asus added the same LLC values as with Sandy Bridge. 50% Calib means you still get Vdroop, 100% should try to keep it stable as the bios setting...Quote:

So why does it take more than a half year to release a new bios for the M4A79 Deluxe? :shrug:
Because the 8 series boards and intel boards are more important right now:confused:Quote:

At least bingo13 should have said "sorry, but we don't support mainboards that are older than 1-1,5 years" instead of saying again and again that there will be something "very soon".
ASUS = pay more - get less ? :confused:
July 2007, I made a decision to go with AM2 vs LGA775 and conroe, I had $1,700 to spend on a rig and conroe was just slapping Windsor and Brisbane all over the place. The only thing that helped me with my decision was that AM2+ stars cores and potentially AM3 Deneb cores would work in my board. I sort of made a mistake because one year after I was promised support, Foxconn dropped BIOS support for this board mid-2008 without any warning at all.Quote:

diddi35 belive me i doesn't worth to wait for the BIOS on your board ,maybe eventually they will release a bios that will support the AM3 CPU but like on my board it will be very very buggy.( 1090T ones )
Turbo Core technology not working like it should / no option to disable it like on other AM3 board series, so if u want your board to support a CPU that works like haveing Cool'n'Quiet and C1e and Turbo core all in same time for all cores not only for the 3 of them and u cant disable or enable CnQ or C1e cose it seems they are locked.
Better wait for a AM3+ board and with that u will be abble to use a AM3 CPU and a AM3+ CPU.
Dont know how others are but Asus it's very slow in posting updates for it's motherboards and if they are older motherboards thats even worse.
I have a M3A79-T Deluxe board and it works great with older CPU like 940 / 945 / 955 / 965 but it can't do the same with new CPU , with those are very very bugy.So now i keep the 1090T for safe keeping untill i can get a AM3+ board and i'm sorry to say this but it wont be Asus board.
I don't see why you guys complain so much about asus in general.
Alot of there older boards at least support the newer cpu's in one way or another, better then a no post.
This thread exist, at least they attempt to listen to the users and provide us with the betas.
And besides, if you got such and old setup, and the cpu don't work, then buy a new board and some mem to go with it for your new cpu.
Good boards are not cheap these days though.
But that's just the way things are.
I'm poor as hell but I got myself a new setup to replace the old dfi I had, because it didn't support the 1090t that I needed for gaming and emulation.
If it's an am2...
There is probably not a single award bios baised board out there that even remotely supports it so count yourself lucky it even boots with an older ami bios ^^.

@NEOAethyr
So you mean that the M4A79 Deluxe for example (the AM2+ version of the M4A79T Deluxe) is already old? :rolleyes:
And that board wasn't a cheap board. Why should I bother to buy an ASUS board as my next board if I know that the bios support for it might end one and a half year after its release?
