ooOOoo new bios, I'm like a fat chick on chocolate...all over it.
Wonder whats in store for this one?
none of the links provided are working.....
Can you provide more information on this, I tried my drives on all ports and it still did the port hang on boot up, I also increase FSB on every new bios leaving all volts untouched and did not experience higher FSB or was able to lower a single volt setting.
I don't understand your question lol.
I was reading this thread (AGAIN) last night looking for hints to OC'ing (as I'm normally non Intel Chipsets) and I seen a peep mention he got a higher FSB on his Quad (think it was 65nm) on 1403 than any other Bios, I cant remember the figure but it was 30mhz Higher (Pure Example 430FSB to 460FSB).
I think he did get the long delay for SATA but many peeps did not get it and only on Port 4 (I read this all here).
I have 1 HDD fitted for now, its on SATA1 and in AHCI Mode and I do not get any delay/hang at boot up, I never tried the pulled 1403 though and i still have to try 1501.
you have 1501? can you up it to rapid share or something... the links provided are not working for me.
Here ya go pal...

Are you the one I seen pics of with mad high FSB on next to no voltage on Air ?.

1501 Bios
Port hang is still present..
change drives over to 1/2..3/4..5/6 all hang.
Bandwidth is still the same altho the rig feels snapier/more responsive, altho the doctor has me on some sweet little pills for my back so it could be them :up:
about to test FSB/volts to see if there is any benifit to waiting 2 mins to boot the pc.
No higher FSB or lower volts possible with 1501 and my hardware
Pull ins are still NOT WORKING!!!!
Come on Asus I know you can do it so lets get it done.
well i got the memtest errors sorted now i have another problem
random hard locks mostly when idle
using 400FSB with ram at 1066 using x6 multiplier so its not my CPU
vNB @ 1.41
vFSB @ 1.3
RAM @ 2.1
PL @ 7 & 8
:(:mad:
I'm @ 1600FSB QP (400) x 10 = 4GHZ
Memory is 1000mhz (4:4:4:12-2T) 1:1
All Voltages at lowest they go (manually set but same as Auto apart from PLL which is high on Auto and NB @ 1.2v), CPU @ 1.1v (only needed 1.054v on my NF680I).
Pasted all Orthos and MemTest runs (running all day) but now I need try 1501 lol (this was 1403 out today again).
vr6freunde @ FdL managed this:
http://www.abload.de/thumb/52009dzh.jpg
E8600 @ 1.5vcore @ 520 FSB (CPU PLL: 1.50 // vFSB: 1.12 // vNB: 1.14 // vSB: Stock) on water cooling
Impressive..
Nice, wish I could get a Template for a starting point for 500FSB, I crash after a while with what I have tried so far.
I know there is a lot of settings I ain't changed as I don't understand them all yet (coming from AMD then Intel on NF Chipsets).
Any help would be welcome. :)
PLL and NB volts will be key to higher FSB
I have an 8600 @ 555FSB someplace, let me look for it and I'll post it up shortly

OMFG, what is up with Asus, and their shoddy bios dept??? It takes a good 3-4 min to detect 6 harddrives.... Wow, back to 1307......:shakes:
aww another bad BIOS? Grnfinger, did you have a change to mess around with this one yet? i'm currently on Ket's modded BIOS, let me know if i should switch over
changing topics here. i noticed that the OCZ XTC memory cooler can't be used on this mobo because the bottom thumb screw sticks out too much and will interfere with the video card. does anyone else have this problem or know a way around this besides chopping the screw off or moving the video card to the bottom slot?
Hi Guys,
if you wanna use the new BIOS but got that AHCI Problem, here is a work around:
You have to use SATA Ports 1,3,5 or 2,4,6.
Thats it.. or you simply just use the black ports...
would be nice if you can tell us if it works for you :)
Hi gays,
I have just put in this baby in my rig and have some questions. I went from DFI X48 T2R.
ATM I use the white slots for Dimm, is that ok?
What I can see people recommend bios 1307, right?
Does Asus prope and bios read right temps on this board, my cpu temps is way higher than with DFI?
Does this board like NB voltage? I will go for ~4.4-4.5Ghz for 24/7 use....
Of course I come back later with full bios settings when its starting... :)
I moved my raid to the speeding HD ports, works now!
Do I need to install software for the speding HD ports ? did the setup in the bios
THANKS
