A simple fix would be a middle option. LLC Off, 50% LLC and 100 % LLC.
Success!!!! yaay - thanks asus - it does overvolt .02v more than the previous BIOS's with LLC but at least I got it stable at 4Ghz again :)

This seems to be a common problem with most Asus bios, the last couple releases for the C4F do the same thing,Quote:

Target is 1.475 which I will hit with these settings IDLE.
It may have more to do with the way turbo is implemented on chip. I like control and don't want my chip doing stuff I don't tell it to do especially when doing reviews, that said turbo is off. What could be happening is turbo is told to be off multi wise but the cpu and or microcode isn't smart enough to say hey we don't need to ramp voltage now becasue turbo is off. Thats a very logical explanation why instead of having some droop voltage ramps up even more when loaded as that is the way turbo was designed to work.
It's not a big deal LLC percentages will allow closer to accurate set voltages for all parties.
first post, thanks for letting me be a part of the community.
I've been following this thread closely and I'm assuming that the Crosshair IV Forumla BIOS 1005 is the final version? Since it's on ASUS' download page?
Negative; from 8/30:Quote:

Hi bingo13, thanks for the latest BIOS release. :)
Following on from my earlier posting regarding possible issues with GPU clock error and USB header (issues still present in 1606 BIOS), below are findings for two different 1055T processors:
1) Max CPU Bus Frequency overclock results (HyperPI 32M, y-cruncher Kasumi stable): i) 1055T, 125W processor - 305 MHz; ii) 1055T, 95W processor – 299 MHz [300 MHz (CPU-Z) in Windows environment – disparity between BIOS and Windows environment]
2) CPU Bus Frequency for 1055T, 95W processor is prone to moving around a fair bit, i.e. a setting of 302 MHz in the BIOS results in values of between 302 and 306.7 MHz in Windows environment (CPU-Z).
3) CPU Core voltage for 95W processor in Turbo mode reaches 1.49V (Everest), for 1.275V CPU voltage setting in BIOS, and AMD OverDrive erroneously reports multiplier value up to 20 when set to 15 in BIOS – recognising that this could be an issue with the AMD OverDrive software.
ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3; AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 125W/95W; 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600 @ 7-7-7-20 27tRC, 1T 1.725V; 2 x 1TB Western Digital WD1002FAEX SATA 6Gbps Caviar Black, RAID 0; 1TB Samsung F3 HD103SJ; Lite-On iHAS124; Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD; Noctua NH-C12P SE14; 1 x Arctic F12 PWM, 2 x Arctic F9 PWM; 4GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT (ReadyBoost); Corsair HX450; Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Load on Prime 95. Disabling LLC may cause a ~0.06v vdroop for my x4 955.Quote:

I'm struggling if CPU-Z voltage value is a bit higher than actual on M4A89TD? I have measured vcore use a voltmeter on C4F, and it is always ~0.02v lower than what CPU-Z showed (1.4125v 4GHz setted in BIOS as M4A89TD, 1.438-1.440v measured, 1.452-1.464v on CPU-Z under Prime 95 load), I doubt this because I'm not sure if C4F's LLC level is the same as M4A89TD.:shrug:
I've measured, it's preety accurate.Quote:

Now, with bios 1605 and 1606 it seems that even 1.44V - 1.45V (set in bios) doesn't help. I put back the frequency to 4GHz with 1.33V, but I want to have my previous result again. However, the reason could be different and it could be something in my system, instead of a bios problem. LLC is enabled on the CPU and disabled for CPU-NB. It seems that CPU-NB is working on the same voltage as before - I tested that. My Corsair GTX2, however, needed a slight bump in voltage from 1.69 to 1.7025 or smth. If you need any other info, please let me know and I will do whatever I'm able to help. I have currently unused Crosshair IV, I could try the same components with it.
Edit: I think 1303 was the best for OC, but I'm not sure about the exact version.
Edit2: The CPU hadn't been tortured at all. I've run some benchmarks but as I remember 1.58V was the max on cinebench and as I see here, some people are putting over 1.6V into it. I have a descent water-cooling setup, load temperatures never went too high. Even on SuperPi 1M @ 4676MHz I've used 1.58V, lol.
Bingo13, maybe you can tell us what we are waiting for and what bug is being crushed at the moment ? :shrug:
i would just like to know if i need to buy a new motherboard, because currently this thing is pissing me offQuote:

Again, I have not tried swapping cards or slots, etc., since upgrading to 1606 but I don't think it will matter since it can't see the 9600GT in the configuration I need.

09/08/2010 Update
I will warn everyone now that updating to the following BIOS code means you cannot flash back to a previous BIOS and we will not have a tool to do it. Unless you are willing to use a BETA BIOS, wait for the official release please.
Crosshair IV Formula - BIOS 055
1. Improved Memory Performance and Clocking
2. C1E/CnQ operation update
3. Voltage enhancements
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hb5uxm...-ASUS-0055.rar
Crosshair III Formula - BIOS 1805
1. Improved Memory Performance and Clocking
2. C1E/CnQ operation update
3. Voltage enhancements
http://www.mediafire.com/file/kdvvx3...-ASUS-1805.rar
Based on the CIIIF results, should be rolling out M3/M4 updates in the near future.
This is not very relevant when running Linux. The second Nvidia GPU doesn't even show up in the device list (lspci).Quote:

Later, some of them disappeared from CPU Support List, for example Phenom II X4 955/965, and there is also post on forum, where user says about incompatibility of this mobo with Phenom II X4 945. I planned to upgrade CPU in this mobo to one of Phenom II X4 CPUs, but now I'm in embarrassment - is Phenom II X4 working on this motherboard, and why some of the CPUs disappeared form CPU Support List?
flashed CHIV 055 bios , previous oc settings are not stable at all . not even when upping voltages and lowering speeds .
(yes i did clear cmos , reset to defaults and did settings again)
So now running linx at F5 default bios settings to see if that's stable . (seen fsb fluctuate between 189 and 217 , wow)
Why is this Bios dated the day before the 1005 if it is newer?:shrug:
Thnaks Bingo for the updated news. Can't wait to get an update for my M3 motherboard hopefully it's not another month before it comes out haha.
that's quite a large fsb droop Crim :( can anyone else confirm that?
Be nice to see more m3a79 love :)
Haven't seen anything like that here with 955/1090. Monitoring with CPU-Z, AI Suite and THG Clock. Both idle and loaded using Prime (small FFTs/blend) and LinX. Voltage spreads are tighter with this BIOS, particularly VCORE and CPU/NB. Also at least on my board most measured voltages are lower then software reports.Quote:

Many thanks for the new bios bingo13! :up:
But what happened with the LLC % settings and new AGESA (cpu patch)?
I only see updated P6 micro code rom?
Haven't had time fiddle with it that much yet...
@bingo
Just found out the major problem of Thuban with the crosshair II. Seems like Asus implemented the 4 P-States of the Phenom II X4 for the X6 (which has 5 P-States).
To make it visual what they did wrong:
http://www.abload.de/img/thubanfmz7.png
but it should be this way:
http://www.abload.de/img/thubaniipvjn.png
So P4 doesnt not work because the X4 doesnt have it, -> no C&Q. Multiplier Changes in Bios just affects the Turbo state (P0), not the normal Load State (P1). Would be pleased if u can adress this to your technicians in charge.
regards
I haven't seen any crazy float on the HTref either (although it still no better than 1005)...Quote:

Thanks..... Dave
seems like the cpu-nb needs a lot more vcore in my case . whereas 3085mhz was stable at 1.3V before i now need 1.4V to get 3000NB stable .
still testing with linx now , this time upping HTlink speed and see .
there is the same problem on M3N-HT board.
i have already written asus support a long time ago ... :(

I gave the cpu to a buddy of mine and he got it overclocked to 4GHZ @ 2.4GHZ HT/NB like no prob with his board.
In the manual if those took time to read it, it says to use lower slot, it also says when using single card to use the PCI adapter in the uper slot for full 16x operation of lower slot.Quote:

Not saying that this was implemented in this beta but they may have......
Hey Praz, I hate to be a pest, but can I ask how you got RC Tweakit to work on both rigs?
I have the cable connected, and installed the software on both machines,
but both still say the "connection is not available"
It may be something I need to figure out for my particular gear, but I really thought I had done everything needed... :(
Any tips would be appreciated!
055 seems to be quite stable for me, quite impressed because for 12 hours I haven't seen the FSB droop once which to me is very impressive, voltage seems solid as well for both cpu/cpu-nb.
p95 blend for 11 hours not a single issue spotted yet.

1102 working like a charm after resetting CMOS and reconfiguring the system
is 1102 the 055's final version?
Both are different final BIOS, this one is from 24/08 in case you wonder so it probably is the last one one they fixed
1102 is probably before they switched to the new AGIE code.
Since it was built on 24th and testing was almost finished on 30th I guess this is the BIOS people were mentioning, at least it has every single thing detected and working properly on my 965/1055T. As for AGESA, never cared much but I think it's 3.7.1.0
its crazy now, dont know, which BIOS to use for the best stability and OC (Crosshair IV)....
BIOS of the day:
Rampage III Extreme 1005
M4A785G HTPC 1602
M4A785G HTPC RC 1602
M4A78 HTPC 1002

Still no information on the M3NHT Deluxe and no other M3N boards. This is garbage, I am tired of getting that 0X101 BSOD. This motherboard cannot be used with any X6 CPU I highly recommend it. Can't overclock, even stock settings it still BSOD's with the same BSOD i have been getting for the past 2 months. I changed to my 940BE guess what no BSOD anymore. Asus I am going to try the NF980A better not have the same issues and the lack of support if there is not another bios update or beta coming soon. Like I have said on my previous post my buddy got my 1055T up to 4GHZ no problem and yet I cannot even run it on stock settings stable.
I feel ya pain man I'm in the same boat I am half tempted to get the MSI 980a as it doesnt have the same issues that this board has.Quote:

I have as much settings as possible on auto in the new CHIV bios , so speedstep and all the other stuff is activated .
I have seen fluctuations in FSB from 108 to 234 in everest .
I thought speedstep and turbo are not touching fsb but only multipliers .
This also happens when I set pcie and fsb speed fixed to 100 and 200 .
Try the latest beta Everest.Quote:

You can flash between these two BIOS's, I thought it was not possible. I am getting a 0.02 voltage increase CPU and CPU/NB with 1102 over 055 with the same BIOS settings LLC on both. Asus Probe is showing a 0.01 swing on CPU and CPU/NB voltage also CPU-Z and Everest ver.5.50.2100 is showing a 0.02 swing. Flashed back to 055 just to be sure and getting the same swings.
Ya same exact position as me and for the same reasons. The only caveat for me is that I have an Xfi card and cant use it and tri sli. Gettting Asus's 980a probably wont do anything as the 780a and 980a are effectively the same chipset.Quote:

Hi-Bios:
CPU: 0.058
CPU/NB: 0.046
Hi Avg-Bios
CPU:0.051
CPU/NB: 0.039
So it seems like they improved CPU/NB, but about the same for CPU as previous bios(es)
i still can't understand those with a 1090T are OCing with bios.
use k10stat and you can OC bios-independet. just use the default-values in bios and raise the VID with K10stat. sure, no possibility to raise the clock from 200 to 2XX (therefore with the 1055T you cannot do this), but guys, you have a CPU with an open multiplcator, use it!
altough bios for M3N-HT (I also have it and I also wait for a better one, especially cause of the missing P4-state) is crap - it boots with a thuban-CPU and so we have won with the black edition CPUs ...

I am using MSRTweeker to get to 4ghz but I want my HTT in the 250ish range like I had on my previous board and chip since like you I have multiple GPUs. The point remains the same it needs to be fixedQuote:

We really need a solid HTRef and percentages for LLC overvolt on the CPU and IMC.
They're obviously working on it, but with 6 weeks between releases I'd hoped for something a little better too...
0801 and 0905 both were better for me . I did not have any htswings there .
with this new one 055 i'm getting 30+mhz swings :mad:
I am using 1005 and still have not seen Ht Ref swing. stays at 200.7 all day long. I have a lil voltage swing though, .2v on the core.
I still can't believe my Asus 890gx board was more stable than the Crosshair IV formula I had last week!!! - Needless to say - I returned it for a full refund today and went back to the trusty M4A89GTD/Pro-usb3
It was on basic 0901 (which I later tried with 1005) and I could see the bouncing vcore!! On a couple of occasions all three vcore sensors buggied too!!
On stock my CPU never used to go above 1.32v - With the Crosshair it was always jumping around from 1.42 down to the usual 1.32 (but never went as low as the 1.28v I get for stock on my 890gx).

Under the M4A89GTD Pro Bios DL section at support.asus.com There seems to be a typo. There is a 1456 BIOS as the latest, but a 1606 on there as well. My guess this is just a typo. I sent word off to Bingo, but I have not heard from him in some time.
