I've been messing since day one with 12Gb memory & I loose 2-4Gb if:Quote:

set at 2300 with timings 8-7-6 will loose 2Gb if vQPI too low & same things as above.
I have also found that occassionaly the BIOS upon reboot will change automatically the DRAM REF VOLTAGE list from AUTO to 0.0 values or other values thus loosing a channel, if I set them back to AUTO everything is back to normal.
I also think it's a mix of board & mostly CPU IMC related.

Now - you are too late ! :D
both links for the 1204 bios are valid..but i tink they are corrupt...winrar gives me a error message saying that the file is corrupt when i try to extract it...someone might want to notify asus..
Not for me. I don't have any problem to unpack this zip-file with WinRAR.Quote:

1204 is working good for me so far. The only visual change I see is that you can now select the 21 multiplier (for the 920 anyways) full time regardless if Turbo is enabled or not. :up:
Boy, their file dates on their FTP site sure are screwed up..."last modified 5/21/48" LOL.
Nice, so kinda like the Rampage II Gene zolkorn has.Quote:

somebody can cite which the parameters for i7 920 in 4.2GHZ?
thanks...
Sounds like cold boot issue to me. Some people managed to solve this by changing the power supply so you may want to try a different PSU. Also, you can try different DRAM in case that it is it causing your problems.Quote:

thanks!
I obtained to stabilize in 4.0 (21 x 191) 1.40v. But in (20 x 200) he does not stabilize, you knows because?
in (18 x 200 and 19 x 200) it was stabilized…
in (20 x 200) does not stabilize!
Because?
hmm, can't update bios :|
downloaded the new bios, extracted and put in the USB.
then entered the ASUSTek EZ Flash 2 in BIOS.
if i enter the .ROM file, both ways, the 1204 and 1104 sayus that "Boot block in file is not valid!"

Updated my contest thread with some pics finally :D Shows my nice chilled water setup, and roughly how it was built from start to finish. Head over and reply! I welcome all comments :)

Don't be shy ;)
Not likely. You are already running 1104 and the latest cold boot fixes were released in 0805 IIRC. Try a different PSU, seriously. Also, try running one stick of DRAM at a time or booting with all three but with lower clocks. I did not ask you originally, but does this only happen when the computer is off for a longer period of time, like overnight? Oh and check your PM please :)Quote:

What you think about it ?
Do you have any advice please to improve it and make a good OC but stable ?
I'm looking for Performance AND Quality :up:
Thanks.

Greetings everyone,
Some simple questions for you, please bear with my noob status with this Mobo and BIOS.
I have just completed the rig and started to learn this BIOS (1204). I have a temp question. In the BIOS with no OC my CPU temp reads 43 C, when doing a slight OC to 2.92 my temp in the BIOS reads 47 C, at 3.2 Ghz the temp in the BIOS reads 60 C. With the same OC CoreTemp shows 59 C yet the ASUS PC probe shows 45 C which is more like it.
I am using a Zalman 9900. I am thinking of removing it, cleaning and reinstalling it. Do these temps sound high to you and why the difference between the BIOS readings and the PC probe readings?
My PSU is a Corsair HX1000W and memory is Dominator GT 1866C7, 7-8-7-20.Please, any comments or suggestions based on what you see?
Thanks.

Easiest thing to do would be to go for 3.8GHz. Set the settings as following...Quote:

Multiplier 19x
DRAM 1600MHz (8x multiplier)
CPU Voltage 1.3V to start (lower as needed)
QPI/DRAM Voltage 1.35000V
DRAM Voltage 1.65681V
UCLK Frequency 2xDRAM or a bit higher
QPI Link Speed 7200MT/s (3.6GHz) or around there...
This is manageable on air and will give you good performance and a stable system.
See the settings posted above to boost your OC a bit. I think the temps could be lower so do remount your cooler and do not use too much TIM. Also, make sure that your case airflow is good. I would trust RealTemp 3.00 to tell me the temperature and not Asus Probe. Asus Probe is usually wrong.Quote:

How?
He has HT disabled and is running XP with C6 state enabled. When only one core is being used the multiplier is supposed to jump to 22x on the 920 and 24x on the 940 while the other cores go to sleep.Quote:

arghh..i cant seem to extract the bios at all..winrar keeps giving me a unexpected end of archive error...maybe i am having network problems with asus servers...
btw why is it that i cannt find the link to the new bios on asus download page? isit still in beta? can someone please upload it to an external server for me please?
thanks
