Yep, Prime wasn't stable for me either... I stopped chasing high FSB that day though, 'cos my Sandy chickens out somewhere soon afeter 2.8 GHz...:( so I actually can't run 300 and use the full potential of my CPU. For now I settled for 10*280 1:1 @ 2.5-4-3-6-1T as I really need to get my rig back to where it was before I blew my previous mobo..:DQuote:

@ 280 it does run HTT 1400 smoothly though! :D
Hi,
I'm on my second board now, I can't get either stable @ 270 1:1 with a 10X multiplier @1T, I can run 247 11X multi. Cpu is amd 4800 X2. Maybe it would work with a divider, but for me that would defeat the point of the higher htt speed.

What's your mem?
I can't get much over 265 On the rams Prime stable... that pretty much what I've seen with others too...
My Samsung UCCC cant stable even in PI1M with this Asus , i tried many settings but no goQuote:

Asus still has weak in OC Ram :slapass:
My board didn't like and of my BH-5 rams or Anything of the like either... TCCD seems to be the only stuff to run at "high" HHT.Quote:

On the Asus forum, some people had problems with their overclocks with the new 311 bios. As reported by them, it seems the Asus took away a little of the performance of the board to cope with the stuttering issues. It's assumed that Asus is working on another bios fix for the mentioned problems. I wonder if the stuttering problems have to do with the ati video cards. I haven't seen anyone with an Nvidia card on this board complain. I'm a silent freak as well as so I'm not planning to go xfire. Thus, I ordered a 7900 gt video card to pair with this mobo. I'm hoping no stuttering issues and if the old bios works I'll keep that one. BTW, have there been any reported issues with these boards and creative x-fis?
Hi,
can guys who are having problems hitting 280-300 HTT please vist this link, try methods used, and post their results in that thread? The info will be compiled and sent off to help with a possible fix.

I am having all kinds of problems with this board(A8R32-MVP DELUXE). The board will not reconize the bio's flash. I contacted asus and they say I will have to rma the board.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so what can be done to resolve the bio's issue?

I'm not having issues reaching high HTT... I can hit 360+... I just can't get over 260 with the ram 1:1.Quote:

If all that fails try diff ram... all you need to do is get in the BIOS 1 time and relax some timings. After you get in once and save the settings turn it off and stick 1 stick of your desired ram back in. If it boots and lets you save BIOS settings, turn it off and try to stick the other ram in for dual channel.
Hope this helps.
*bump* necessary..
GUYS, i am sorry for absolutley NOOB question , but
TELL ME PLEASE HOW TO FLASH my BIOS UNDER DOS? For DFI , i have no problems. but i am lost for ASUS Thank you.
So far my expierence with this MOBO is HORRIBLE, i stay without PC like 3 weeks becouse several problems... i hope i gonna fix all ogf them tonight....

How did you get 365Htt i cant get past 305. what settings in the Bios did you use? I am kinda of an AMD noob.Quote:

I have tried different cables and setting the drive as master, slave and cable select. Also, all drives are set to DMA mode 4.
This only happens with large file transfers from DVD or CD not from HD to HD. So far I have not noticed any pauses while burning discs, thankfully.
I found this issue when installing large games that come on multiple discs like Doom 3 and Age of Empires III. On my old system I could place each of the three discs in it’s own drive and start the install and it would move through each disc with out stopping. I found that on the A8R32 I get random pauses. It was not every drive or a particular disc. It kept happing on disc two of AgeIII so I put disc one into that drive and it happened on the first disc. I thought it had to do with that drive being on channel 2 of the P-ATA controller but after using just two drives on channel 1 it happened again.
Sometimes just after a pause the sound card will continually generate popups stating that I have plugged something new in one of the jacks. After the copy the sound card would be all messed up and I’d have to reconfigure what was plugged into each jack.
I spoke to ASUS (as they to not reply to emails) and they just said to try a different Motherboard or different RAM. Oh, I’ll just pull another one out of my… Aren’t they supposed to test this kind of stuff for me?
I’m sure it could just be my board but the issue seems much like the random spikes in the HD benchmarks and the pauses in many games before the 0311 BIOS came out.
I guess I’ll have top RMA the board but my guess is that the new board will do the same thing. :(

Does anyone have Samsung TCCD memory (Any TCCD but preferably Corsair) and can list some lose timings for me to try. Im having trouble getting my memory even 10 mhz over stock.
Plz list EXACT bios memortiming seetings at speeds ~220-250. Remember LOOSE timings.
I have a pair of 512 mb XMS-PC3200XL Rev1.1 (2-2-2-5-1T) --chip--> Samsung TCCD.
I wanna use the 166 divider cause im running my CPU@300*9.
It's really dead simple.:rolleyes:Quote:

Leave the floppy in the drive and reboot. When the POST screen comes up, press " Alt + F2 " and that's it.... Noob-proof BIOS flashing!:D
Run the memory on a divider, drop the CPU multiplier..... ...there's a lot of ways to go at it...;)Quote:

I have the same problem, but i don't think it is a mobo thing as my drives get detected and installed as UDMA-2 or UDMA-4 by the BIOS.Quote:

Omg! I just thought of it, but will have to wait till tomorrow to test it out as I'm at work right now...:eek: Try this:
Uninstall the drives in Device manager.
Uninstall and remove both IDE channels and the IDE controller in the Device Manager.
Reboot.
Switch off the "Plug and Play OS" option in the BIOS!
Save CMOS and reboot.
Let windows re-install the hardware...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...:)
I was not able to do the bio's flash (alt + f2). All attemps at bio's flashing would not work.Quote:
