I tried that when you first posted them, but it wont even run my ram at an 210 FSB 1:1 @ 3-4-4-8 and I know they can do 2,5-3-3-7@260 FSB 1:1 cause the Ultra-D had no trouble running it. And then I didn't even have to tweak any settings. There has to be some timing or setting in the bios that is to aggressive for my ram =/Quote:

That's about it.
Another thing you can try is getting Systool from TechPowerUp! and boot into Windows with whatever settings will get you there and then start tightening things from there. :)
It reads the floppy and says cannot read A8R32MVP.ROM. All forms of updating would not work on the last MB.Quote:

Any tips???
How about flashing from a CD or a USB stick?Quote:

Maybe that's the reason why it won't run @ 270 1:1...:rolleyes: FSB 247 @ 1:1 is quite a nice speed for that memory....

thanks for the reply. I droped down to 6x and could only get to 310 htt i wll tryp some of the other settings you listed in this thread. Whats the difference between 800 and 1000 on the HT link really mean?Quote:

Is this one better than the A8R32-MVP?
It is less money and Newegg don’t hobble the return policy as it does with the Asus.
I also like the idea of having a PCI-e and PCI slot open if I go with Crossfire and no fan as with the upcoming DFI board.
Is everyone using a soundcard vs. the onboard sound? I just put my old Audigy 2 in my new setup just for the heck of it and now my CD/DVD read pause freeze issue seems to have gone. ???
I had even tried disabling the onboard sound along with everything else that I could do without and I still had the issue.
The at832x is being tested now so just wait
Interesting..... :bsod: Mines are still stuck in PIO...:brick::(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."
Yea. Same here.
Whenever I transfer a large file from my DVD, the rig slows down tremendously. I can hardly move the mouse and all desktop sounds are stretched out like I'm on acid or something. The windows default "ping" sound lasts for like 6 seconds - "piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiing". :stick:
The drives are all in DMA when in BIOS, but when I check in Windows Device Manager, all I get is PIO. :(
I've temporarily solved the problem by hooking one drive to the mobo via a SATA converter. I am using two if the PCI slots, so I'm suspecting an IRQ conflict.
I guess it could be the same underling problem. The onboard sound is conflicting with the P-ATA IDE controller. Again, not slow but complete freeze or lockup. Can’t do anything for five or ten seconds, mouse won’t move, nothing. It does this four or fives time until the transfer is finished.Quote:

This is the first time that I’ve tried to use the onboard sound and well, thumbs down for me. :( Though I’m sure it could just be this motherboard but now I don’t know what to do.
I only have a few days left to return it to Newegg. If I return it for the same I fear that it will have the same issues or others that different folks are having. I’m tempted to go with the ABIT board because it is out now and has a heat pipe for extra cooling vs. a fan that DFI has on there new board.
I put my old soundcard in just for the heck of it and I now no longer have random pausing while reading from the CD/DVD drives. ???
I think I'm returning it for the ABIT board.
New Bios 0404

thanks mate will give it a try
At first glance it doesn’t look like much has changed. All bios options are the same and no new additions in mem settings. In brief testing I don't see any OC or Bandwidth improvements either...
It does appear to recover better from screw ups in bios settings but that’s all I’ve seen so far. Not quite what I was hoping for….
Have you tried overclocking with the new bios yet? I think it's a little more stable, also the vcore does not seem to fluctuate as much as with 0311 (unles I'm mistaken).
regards
Raja
It appears there is still a problem running HTT over 300…. I was able to run 0311 bios up to 310 although many had a problem running 300. As I normally run @ 285 it’s not a big deal to me but in testing it looks like the “pooch gets screwed” @ 300 with 0404…
It does appear to be extremely stable with other minor issues fixed, but it’s clearly not a DFI Bios…
EDIT: Tony, please stay on 'em...
true it's not a DFI, those boards will always hold better performance for the xtreme clockers, the Asus is a little more mid-market, it's aimed at more 'sensible' overclocks (to coin a phrase), and if you don't need to go too high with the htt (280-290 seems ok), it represents greater value for money (imho).
Still the DFI is tempting, the vcore always seems more stable on DFI boards.
Here is mine at 350HTT! yes this is dual prime stable
