If i'm not mistaken the new bios is a microcode update that is needed for the penryn to function properly. i would flash if i were you. I am using it and it is fine so far. no issues.

I got a single Floppy but it has all the drivers on there...ICH9R and JMicron.
Ran RAID flawlessly since install.
Last night I swapped the DFI to the lesser PSU and Raptor in the TekTray and set up the Yorkster on the BMF set up and just now got around to hooking the DFI back up...
Thanks jimmyz. I just got that from Brother and will get right on it :up:
Yep
I'd read about it...and now I know about it.
It's a very strange thing IMO...
Cleared CMOS installed XP restarted Hung no POST
no POST, no monitor...just C1 code.
On starting from powering up I get 88 C1 25 26 then it shuts down and restarts automatically and I get C1 and that's it...
The only hardware I have changed is the Hard-Drive. I've tried three other hard drives.
I have had that exact scenario happen before once or twice. I turned off the PSU for about 30 seconds, then powered back up and away she went. You've probably already tried that though. :p:Quote:

Luckily I have just that on hand :)
BRB
BTW I was able to get into BIOS...
the issue is hanging after POST...it just hangs..cursor blinking away
I tried 4 x 51 of G Skill 1.8V and got the exact same issue.
I can get into BIOS...but no matter what settings I try it make no difference...still hangs after POST...
Cut operations short to tweak Ram he heh:D Will post up more in a little while:)

still with the yorky? so it is stopping on 96 or is it making it to FF? FF is attempt to boot iirc. i used to get a hang on boot on the r600 and if i raised the n/b voltage it would work the next try. did you flash the bios yet? if so you didn't use the yorky did you?Quote:

i've gotta think it is the 45nm messing with it not the board.
No Yorkie yet, I only changed the HDD..not the CPU yet.
I was getting ready to when I encountered the issue..
Good idea about the NB volts. I will give that a try right now.
But just in case I contacted MotherboardPro about getting a replacement.
Thanks for posting up your setting Brother...that will come in handy in a few minutes :D
Some OCZ Reaper, voltage set at 2.10 in BIOS. CPU and NB GTLs on auto.

Whats you chipset voltage at John?
Mega Prime run.........But I don't think it ran long enough to be deemed stable:p:
Trying to revive the booard one more time. So weird how it will load an OS...but will not boot to an OS..
If I set it to boot from CD it does...
Ordered an Asus Maximus X38 to hold me over while I wait for the RMA on this loverly board to take place...
Unless I get lucky and don't have to RMA at all....
NB is 1.57V and VTT is 1.55V as set in BIOS. Measured Voltage is NB - 1.570 and VTT - 1.547. Everest under reports these values. And your right. No matter how long Prime is run it never really proves stability. :)Quote:

currently have the 4x1gb modules running at 1112mhz at 2.1v, still needs some more tweaking though, havent played with fine delay with these yet
Edit: oh and timings only at 5-5-5-15 atm
Yay...managed to revive the board.
Found a Raptor and plugged that in the Jmicron header along with the SATA DVD and it is now booting like nothing ever happened...
Weirdness.
And it is FAST. Boots about instantly...love it.
Back to Folding :)
Here's a weird one..... When installing XP, if I select the ICH9R SCSI drivers off of the floppy, Windows doesn't reconize any drives. However, if I select the ICH8R/ICH9R drivers (further down on the list), everything seems to work just fine.
Correct. Same if I make the mistake of thinking somehow AHCI will work in Vista...Quote:

VERY HAPPY to have my DFI back up...the few hours it was down seemed very long :p:
I agree, this board is awesome..... and it's the best one I have ever setup. Currently at 4GHz with a e6850 running the FSB at 500MHz, and it's rock solid.
The only problem I have encountered was when I setup the two 150G Raptors for RAID0 under the older BIOS, I would get an array error after defragging the array with diskeeper. The Array would still work, but I would see the error every time it booted up. I haven't tried it with the 9/13 bios yet.
I think I will probably get the Areca ARC-1210 RAID controller board to run the two arrays. I just need to know the length of the board to be sure it doesn't bump into the Southbridge water block.
Cheers!
Oops EDIT
It overhangs the PCIe slot about an inch and a half--so it will hang over the cooler on the second slot.
Check in CyberDruid....lets hear whats up with that Yorkfield and Beta Bios:clap:
Here are my OCZ 8500 SLI's @ 2.27v in BIOS
5.5.5.12.5.26.7. Phase adjust all Auto. A.13.11.3.8.A.A.A.4.5
NB 1.57v

Is it safe to keep the NB core & VTT at 1.5v for 24/7 use?:confused:
would say yes :D if you plan to go little bit more extreme with the voltages i would recommend that you put some active coolin for the NB heatsinkQuote:
