Will a venice boot with the default bios in this mobo? Or should I plug a winchie and then upgrade my bios?
Sillysider what kind of temps were you getting? and what other settings might you have been using since I would like to keep my vcore around 1.5 b/c of the temps unless thats not possible (I hate Florida)
alsoWhat is drive strength? and how would you tell if you have TCCD memory (I forget all these types) and would mine be TCCD? Thanks!Quote:
Drive strength - set to "normal" unless you are overclocking and have TCCD memory, in which case set it to "weak"
How long would you recommend running Prime, I don't want to run for a day since I don't have the time to let it go that long, and also got a link to Toast?
I can not see in win more than 1.45v. If I put more than 1.45 (% = VID = 0%) in bios, in win I see 1.45v all the time. I only run win with a max 1.6v this is 1.45 +10%. If I put 1.5 or 1.55 + 10%, I allways see 1.6v in win.
Bye
EDIT:
All bios except 1.8 report bad temps. 61 celsius in full mode can be 51celsius with 1.8bios. Mine is 33IDLE 42FULL with 1.8bios and good watercooling @ 2820mhz and 1.6v
Alright thanks.
Thank you CD 1986.
Well, I am overclocking the RAM, but I'm not on TCCD. Shoud I set it as "Weak"?
Tia!
my temp with BIOS 1.8 is just the same as yours.... just that my venice can't do 2.8Ghz :(Quote:

I´m sure 1.8bios report temps well. I have a probe temp near my core of my SPAW without IHS. And temps of probe are same that MB in IDLE, and in FULL MB reports a little more temp, 1-2 celsius.
My WC:
Swiftech 6000
D-tek 120mm
MCP600 rev2
See you
Yeh, testing yourself is the only way to be sure, but setting it to "normal" would be the best option. :)Quote:

Disable fastwrites if you have a 6800 series card, as it causes instabilities. If i have it enabled for instance, i get lower 3Dmark benchies than if i have it disabled. I always keep fastwrites disabled, and sideband addressing enabled for my 6800nu. :)

Anyone tried this new bios??? :D
Added in some more memory timings, including the Trc and Trfc values that have been causing the divider issues! :toast:
is that a custom modded bios?
trying now :)
Link has both the original and modded versions attached. :)Quote:

the extra timing solves divider issues !!!!!! hoorayyy
but this bios still need some work... can't adjust multiplier... but somehow it was set to 9... same as before i flashed it ....
vcore seems to be 0.1 V lower than what you set in the BIOS.. (u can select the 'true' vcore now... instead of 10% of VID stuffs)
http://www.harpyboy.com/a64.JPG
this is the resulting A64T ... BIOS can't change Twtr (mine needs 2 instead of 1).. other than that.. the divider works fine... 1T works fine
put this bios online here please.
thx.
as requested
BIOS 19B5mod
BIOS 19B5
Looks promising! :)
What's the new MTTR mapping mode ?
moreover the new 216,233,250 dividers doesn't work here ... I have tested and I have :
250 = 133
233 = 200
216 = 100
Again, in this new bios, the max vcore selectable is 1,55v (on Venice and seletected 1,7v !) ... Just CoreCenter allow to up to 1,72v!
And for finish, I like the new menu organisation...
Goodbye.
Summary:
new menu
no better OC
fast write still doesn't work with 6800
no multiplier selection.. but using clockgen just set it once and it will stay
vcore max at 1.612v for me (venice.. cpu-z) even tho i selected 1.70v...
1.70v in BIOS read as 1.60v in cpu-z
1.60v in BIOS read as 1.50v in cpu-z
new divider doesn't work for me either...
SATA 1 and 2 seems to be locked.. it POST at 280HTT.. but i didn't realise that clearing CMOS set the multiplier back to 10 (thus OC failed instead of SATA crash)..lazy to test again.. someone else has to do it....
This is probably just because venice uses 1.40v default, but bios has a 1.50v starting point. I was looking at the bios in modbin6, and there are voltage options upto 1.85v, but they are "un-selected" in the bios options, and i couldn't get them to stick when i set to "selected". Hopefully in later bios versions they might enable the higher voltages. :)Quote:
