Dudes, I'm still on 304, any good updates or stick with 304?
Well this is a great thread. I'm sure I'll flash 304 as soon as I get around to it. I'm not throwing dry ice or nitro on the core yet. Just need to get it tuned and running stable first off. I'm going to be booting it up this afternoon so I hope I can dpend on you hard core folks to be here for me if I have any questions?
getting ready to boot. I'll keep updateing when I can
0404 seems to be the most highly regarded and stable. I am not at all happy with 0705 but I am basically stuck.
0404 ? anyone second that
Anyone having blackout issues with there LCD's and DVI?
I cannot get my monitor to display any video with DVI.
Dsub works, so does HDMI-DVI, but not DVI-D to DVI-D?
using 0705 currently and used 06xx series also.
Same problem
im on 0404 no problems so far.
me too!!:up:Quote:

The only way was to get a 1.8V memory and change the settings in BIOS to 2.3V and shut down immediately after exiting the BIOS.Quote:

That is exactly what I had to do. It really POed me when I had to go out and purchase a stick rated at 1.8 that I had no other earthly use for.Quote:

How do you flash 0705 BIOS, EZ FLASH2 method?Quote:

This method just killed my board. I flashed it back to 0601 and now I can't even turn on my PC....keeps restarting on its own even before it gets to post....Quote:

I am not at all pleased with the 0705 - I have had to bump my vcore a good bit to maintain the same oc as before.
I should know better - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Asus even tells us not to upgrade if you don't have a problem. Oh well, live and learn. X38 anyone? :)
same as everyone, in bios... with a flash disc...Quote:

My flash to 0705 has been pretty good. I wish I could flash back to 06xx so I can test my 3D Mark 06 scores. All voltages, timings and other setting have not had to be adjusted.....In fact, I ran my q6600 at 3.9Ghz (no volt change) for a while before taming it down back to 3.8Ghz, my previous OC with an earlier BIOS.

TinTin did a lot of early testing of the p5K premium - He posted these BIOS reversion details on this thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...151965&page=23 because some PREMIUM owners were having trouble reverting from latest 0504 bios to 0404. As you say -it may not have been meant for general P5K use.Quote:

0705 BIOS si not a BETA bios, works pretty well :up:
:welcome:
for my system 0705 has its pros and cons
i use windows upgrade from the very first one to 0204,0311,0404,05xx,06xx and now 0705.
from 06xx to 0705
1, around 2~4c drop
2, similar function bios as x38
3, better timing of ram (previous 5-5-5-9-5-35-5-5-5, now 5-5-5-5-9-2-30-2-2-2 with the same volatage at 1200)
4, cpu is thirst (previous 1.22v[windows] at load for 500*7, now 1.25v/1.275v not so sure) or may be the vdrop is more, not tested precisely
5, not allow you to go back to previous old version of bios (but some one have already post the awesome tool for you to go back in this forum)
for me 0705 is so far so good, enough enough....
My board came with 404 bios. I just got it built the other day. No complaints at all on the 404 bios. great OC features and very user friendly. I love this board!
finally, someone agrees...Quote:
