That's because the program file's part number does not match with your system!

Thats just weird! I just checked the Beta site and that is indeed the lates file for you're board they have up there.

What way are you flashing Floppy right?

whats the divider do that they added to the bios right above the estimated cpu clock

CPU N/2 Ratio? 1/2 multipliers for 45nm processors.

that is for half multi's. I believe the penryn's will be the only ones who will be able to use the 1/2 multipliers.

not that one the "clock VCO divider" it has auto,1,2,3,4

edit - i figured it out its the boot strap 200=1, 266=2, 333=3, 400=4, or at least thats what it looks like from yahoo

dudes, i take it that a screw can be used as a grounding point when measuring the voltage?

yes. always be careful when checking though.

If CPU-z is reporting that the T-junction on my e6600 is 85degrees do i need to add 15 in the bios?

Impressive, VCore Droop control @ disabled and take a look :D and also all fans are @ LOW like I'm using them most of the time!

Damn, I am a happy camper, 100% loaded with Boinc WCG on all 4 cores. This board finally made my quad dream come true. I hope to drop core voltage to down around 1.45V if things run as I think they are. I am so glad to be off of nvidia 680i.

Edit- added 3dmark06 run without tweaks, Vista64

Same here BRO, I'm just waiting for my 680i A1 to come back from RMA one more time and then I sell it. I'm done with it :D and very happy with my third DFI board one more time :)
Good Luck with it

Dede99, which bios version are you using?

I am curious because you said in that X38 thread that cpu-z works for you, with me it hard reboots the whole rig.

im using the latest bios and cpu-z 1.43 with the weird prog you have to run first for vista 64. (i know the question wasnt at me)

Also, Im currently running orthos @ 3.6ghz (400*9) 1:1 ram with 1.5v on the cpu. My Ab9 pro had to have 1.6v on the cpu to boot :(

Hey Linflas,

Sorry I didn't give my BIOS settings but could not get it Prime95 stable and 3DMark01.

The max I got so far is 9x435 stable.

Can you share your 450x9 bios template?
Can you run 3DMark01 ad OCCT?

Thanks and great results!

disable driver signature? you mean for core temp, cpu-z does not require that.

Because of the way the DMI data is coded in the BIOS CPU-Z currently has issues with Vista 32 and 64 Bit on this board. Franck is looking into it. As a work-around set either SMBus or Sensor to Off in the CPU-Z ini file.

i will download 3d01 and make a run, and grab OCCT, although boinc will punish all 4 cores and memory more realisticly and I believe harder than prime95 or OCCT as I have had 24 hour Prime95 and OCCT 1 hour stable rigs before that died under boinc.

I have to work again tonight, 12.5 hour shifts, so I need to get some sleep, hopefully have those up for you in 24 hours or so, when I get home on Monday morning.

linflas I'm using 111 bios the latest since I had issues with NB voltage, and then downloaded the new cpu-z and all is fine :)
