Beta14
1. Fixed bios to prevent from CPU multi-plier vector can't be changed at next boot when we use 'user define' to set multi-plier vector and enter then resume from S3.
2. Updated USB code.

I doubt there is any increase in overclocking ability with this beta 14, just a couple minor issues addressed.....

So far, my max Prime is:

Stock nb ~380*9 prime @ 1.8vMCH in bios
MCW-30 @ NB ~412-420*9 ish so far, cpu crapping out, 2.0vMCH in bios.

I also cannot run 4*512 @ ram over ~400 ish FSB, even on water! It will even fail 1m :(
I really like the board, but I had alot of issues setting it up...

Sorry for the big picture:

ah okay, thank you! :)
but one last question.. can you put it in like this? seems it could be trouble with the ram..

Thats the way I had mine mounted with various different modules like G. Skill, Crucial, & Corsair. I also was using as silverstone fan, not the one that shipped with the cooler. Ram was a bit awkward to remove as well as HSF with the board install in case.

thanks for your reply :)
i order tomorrow, got a nice silverstone fan too at home :D

Getting it on the board is not to bad , its removing it that sucks and the crap wire to clip on the fan is low class.

429-436 fsb is about prime stable... but I am hitting a really bad wall @ 440fsb.

I cant even run 4 dimms much over 400 fsb :(

the problem isn't running small fft.

the problem is running orthos blend above 400 mhz.

try running blend test and you'll see you won't be able to... unless you got a magical board! :)

My AW9D-Max will do ORTHOS blend up to a little above 420 Mhz fsb. I cannot get it blend stable @ 430 Mhz fsb regardless of voltages. It doesn't like to run with 4 memory sticks much above 400 Mhz fsb, haven't tested it there yet though.

It's a bit odd really, because I can do any 3d bench @ 450 Mhz fsb, even with 2x x1950xtx cards in crossfire mode

I'm concerned with this too. It has taken far too long for them to release a new bios after the 1.3b. I'd like the new IN9 32 board, but January! No way will I wait that long. Looks as though me & my AW9D-Max will be parting company over the weekend.
