I have no idea; using latest everest beta, I can only guess M0 is the next revision of the 45nm?
At this point I can't seem to find the bios listed with its features and fixes on the asus support site.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Any improvements?
Tested 1003 and went back to 0903. Temperatures are weird again and I had curious biossettings after flashing. After a reboot and DETRAM issue I removed battery and after bios was normal again, but the only positive thing for me would be a bit better ramperformace then 090X.
But I have another problem:
My ram was stable at 1200Mhz, now it isn`t anymore. Memtest now shows errors waht it didn`t before. The votages have nothing to do with that, I tested that last night till morning. TB and AIClock are right and not the problem. It could be the ram itself, the ramslots I use for the 2 sticks or the board has **** voodoo-issues.
1003, maybe the testing bios that Tony mentioned had a couple "issues?? Maybe it's not ready for prime time then. . .
I actually have 1001 so this is newer, tRFC is borked yes they need 1clock steps not 5 but at least we have over 42.
It makes me laugh how Asus release bios files under embargo and then an engineer will leak to an end user...they really do need to get their act together.
Anyway, on 8000 reaper X we have a new SPD with 54trfc so you can set by auto to get this or set 55 in bios.
You should see 1000mhz 2V or less now, setting 60trfc may allow 1066+
thanks for the info.
I noticed that BiOS 1003 uses Perf Level of 6 at DDR2-1200, while 907 was PL 7. (Perf. Level is also known as tRD and controlled by Transaction booster)
Because of this, I also started getting errors, so I changed the Clock Twister to Moderate (from Strong) and it seems fine now.
P.S. 907 would not work at tRD of 6 at all (would not boot)
What is the temp reading problem? I have phase so I don't see real temps anyway.
Yes, but I flashed back to 0903 and Ram wasn`t stable, too.(Same settings as before with 0903 and there were rockstable)
It took me 3hours today but know I solved it.
Had to change ram into the blue slots, no way to get them working within specs of 1200mhz in white slots. Also I had to change TB from enabled lvl0(TRD7) to disabled lvl0(TRD 8), could leave the rest as before and now Memtest was allright the last test.
When the board is running as it should, it`s the best board I ever had, but then sometimes this voodoo-:banana::banana::banana::banana: shows off and board begins to behave crazy and there is nothing you can do.
I am glad, that loading Defaults after failed OC is working again for me, that was horrible the last weeks with no booting system for hours :down:
Just downloaded 1003 and when i change multi from auto i get no boot! Have changed back to 0907!
Can anyone recommend the best 4gb RAM kit for this board? I thought the Ballistix would be fine, but I only have one set of the old Ballistix and I can't get my hands on another. They keep sending me the new revision which is cr@p.
What 2x 2gb kit will handle 500+ fsb on this board?
I have my Mushkin Redlines XP8000 at 500 FSB 1:1 with 5-5-5-12 timings (still testing stability)
It is good we agreed on the +/-1 stepping of tRFC. Someone can tighten then as far as he wish. Also tREF is another thing.
For other having issues with new bios remember this is not official yet.
And be sure you have flashed the bios with correct parameters (erasing full eeprom etc) :up:
New bios 1003 is a pos:mad: :mad:
Took 4ever to get the thing to boot and after all that memory tweaking its still a bad bios.
Back to 907
That sucks... I guess that's why it wasn't released to the public yet.
I hope they get it sorted...
I'm called up ASUS today to get my RMA, and They will only repair it....They will not give out any replacements, and if they say the board is non-repairable, they will call me and give me "options" I'm never going with ASUS again....
