also did you actually read what timings i used and tried them?
@ aussie7, I'm testing Beta19 with a Winchester (has an excellent memory controller, 320HTT+)
If anyone finds a later beta gimme a shout an ill get right on it.
Are you saying if I updated BIOS through Flashmenu that was no good? Seems to be working fine...Quote:

crystal clear bios update...
dos...fully erase forced...
but... as I said...the 1T issue's still here.
tried a winnie some minutes ago...bugged still :(
what about the timings i found to work? its still very picky, but 1T does work, so far i found 2 sets of timings to work.
What timings are you talking about? could you be more specific.Quote:

I would attach the Beta19 BIOS, but the file limit is insanely teeny here for zip files.
In case noone noticed, BIOS19 is now officially out.
If anyone's interested in a modded BIOS with all disabled features reenabled, let me know and I'll post it here.
OK, my modded BIOS can be downloaded here (modded BIOS AN8_19, changelog included):
http://people.freenet.de/celemine1Gig/BIOS/OAN819M.zip
or here:
http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~madocer/BIOS/OAN819M.zip
This BIOS has been tested on forumdeluxx.de and it works fine according to testers there.
Although I have got to state the following:
Use this BIOS at your own risk! I am not responsible for any problems or damage caused by this software.
^nice to finally have a new modded bios to test :) and for thoughs wondering, i tested official19, there doesnt appear to be any change in the now primary concerns of making 1T scale well and improving compatability with G-skill, OCZ and GeIL enthusiast level RAM. see above link to read the newest page on my artical.
I tried my Winnie also.Quote:

Seems like 4x512MB works a bit better now.. before i couldn't even run stock settings at any voltage.. now my BH-5 does at least 220FSB with 2.0-2-2-6 timings.. hopefully next bios will be better, cus even that it is better now than before - it still ain't enough..
hopefully a bios20 will come around, abit can easily sort the remaining issues out in a single revision. im testing celemine1Gig's modded bios atm, will let you all know how it goes, me and him are also currently contemplating doing something if its possible, what that is though im not saying yet ;)
Appreciate the modded BIOS 19 celemine1Gig, finally I am now able to use one of the latest BIOS without losing my boot options. I am in the process of testing for the better memory compatibility now (versus modded bios 13) and hopefully I will have good luck in that regard, but I think I may indeed have one of those "finicky" Venice cores.
I was getting a bit discouraged by the fact that tictac haven't released anything for the AN8 recently and you pop by with exactly what I needed! :banana: Thanks again,

Well, Abit are running out of time to impress me, and more importantly, the people I asociate myself with, they have until the end of december to release a BIOS this board deserves, if not, I urge everybody to drop the Fatal1ty like a stone and go buy any other NF4 based mainboard. The clock is ticking Abit.
My patience ran out a while ago with this board, i wont being buying an abit again. I have no money now to go out and buy another board either, so im stuck with this heap until amd comes out with thier new socket.
last i read your bpard was doing good at like 295HTT, what happend?Quote:

I was going to get the AN8 Ultra because of Abit's reputation for quality components. It seems to have gone down as of late, though.
I was going to pair it with this mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR500 RAM. It's the same as the Redline but not cherry picked. Was also going to get a 3200+ (only $10 difference between this and the 3000+), since it almost impossible to get an Opteron 146 now.
I don't really like the DFI, so should the Abit work with this combo and a 6800GS/7800GT?
I'm probably going to go with this unless someone has other suggestions.
