Thanks I found it. Which items do I want to install during F6 now if I am not doing any sort of raid?

-Intel Storage Matrix Drivers?
-JMicron Beta Drivers?
-Which chipset drivers?

go into bios and set everything to standard (not manual or auto Overclock)
reboot ito windows and see if 16X is re enabled .
if it is the you can reboot and restore your previus overclock but make sure its stable or youll revert to 1X.

I have only installed intel raid drivers.

Some say, even if u dont use raid on jmicron controller that u ll need to install Jmicron drivers. I m not xp'ing any probs with my dvd writer.

You dont have to install any drivers during f6 unless you have raid. You can also install it after, in windows.

Just a heads up or whatever :) I have been running my 6300 for a while now at 435 FSB - and started two days ago to get some critical HDD corruption issues, thinking the NB might not be able to hack it, at least for IDE drives - unsure how SATA would perform as I only use those as storage and haven't seen any errors yet.

Bottom line I dialed the FSB back to 375 for now to see if the corruption issues stop.

i presume you have your PCI bus locked at 33 MHz?

Set ich volt at 1.057 and Vsb at 1.6V. THis may cause by the ''auto'' voltage.

I got an answer from Asus taiwan about my PEG@1X problem :
they have never heard of it :slap:
they only answered it may come from a pcie general malfunction
except that the mb works "fine" with a GX2 :rolleyes:
they really think we're stupid... :mad:

I solved my PEG@x1 issue by setting the PCI-E clock to 105. But now I've noticed another problem. My CPU scores in 3DMark03 and '05 are extremely low. '06 seems fine as does SuperPi. I did install the chipset drivers, but did the 0711 BIOS upgrade since.

E6300
0711
2x1024 OCZ Value PC2-5400
Voltages at auto except SB at 1.7V

Curious to see if you can actually get that flat...or the actual heatsink is mounted to the heat tube incorrectly creating a "twist"...

I had one of mine come like this - not quite that bad. They'll straighten out fine.

Ya better get that thing off of there and straighten it out. I'm suprised your NB hasn't burnt up yet. If you are experiencing lockups, that's what's causing it.

I read somewhere in the manual that says 4x1gb sticks wont work due to chipset limitation. So maybe u can read the manual first. I hope im wrong tho

BTW, i dont see any significant update on that 0804 bios regarding performance (chipset bootstrap thing) or any other bug (sound, pci-e etc)

-tam2-

That is not my question, I'm not a noob, but thanks for trying. The 965 chipset supports up to 8GB of RAM, that is fact. My question is SPECIFIC TO THIS MOTHERBOARD.

Am I to expect any issues (outside of the WinXP problems that are well documented), with this exact Asus mobo? Please consider I'm using 4x1GB Micron D9 modules. I just want to be postive the mobo will POST and run with my modules.

Hi.
I have a problem with my system using eiher 0614 or 0711 bios. whenever I do a reboot from Windows it also shutsdown, and the same thing happens when I turn my pc on. I turn it on, it shuts down for 2 secs then power up again, this kind of thing is NOT good for my hw which get stressed. I don't know what is going on. Do u have the same?

Another thing is that both 0614 and 0711 freeze sometimes when I want to change some settings. Especially when I try to get hardware monitor reading.

Anybody?

you are right about changing the pcie to 105. it now says x16 for me. i got a bump on 3dmark. now at 6918

n/m it reverts when i restart.

does the 16x speed stay 16 if you do not overclock or just moderately overclock?

Try 110mhz...that's the frequency that works for me.

Once your stable it wont happen again.:)
if your under volted or latency is wrong you will get the 1X error upon reboot(ususally after a beep error durring post)
this is not happening stock.
I,m sure Asus knows about this and if not we should bombard thier support forums .
as a matter of fact I'll do my part now.

alirght im starting to get pissed, this board is acting like a POS major, i cant even OC....

aight heres the deal, it will first, take FOREVER to post, i get no video for a good 1-10 mintues, then if it wants to it will boot, sometiems it wont, it jsut sits...

if it does i go into the bios, and recently, it will lock up before i can manuly set everything to defaults( like my ram timinmgs raid settings etc..... to stock speeds) and then i have to remove the battery from it to get it to post again....

it shouldnt be over heating, proc and gpu on water, and there is LOTS of good airflow, a nice 700watt ocz PSu,

im stumped, im tred of waiting 5mintues to see if it will post, im tired of random lock ups in bios.

sorry i dont know bios version, its a e6600 with 1900xtx and 2gb of gskill ram(ddr800)

mush thanks to anyone who can help
