anybody tried 13 final yet? i was just going to flash but then i saw that somebody had some problems when he flashed but luckily he got spare bios chip :)
Same here , I saw it borked someone's mb on the abit forums. Anyone else have spare bios chip handy.

looks like the bios is broke, risky :p
The bios is ok, and is just the final version of the last beta.
Flashed under windows.
yep it seems to be ok just flashed with floppy and finally i can use 6-9x multi without it bugging like hell \o/
That BIOS is a strike against all Abit Fans programmed by a genius !!!Quote:

Everytime I set any clock frequencies in bios, save cmos and exit my system turns off, after few seconds turns on again by itself and all I´ve set is on default again !!!! But thats not all:
Im sure there are much more bugs in this time busting bios, another I´ve discovered is, I disabled Silicon Image S-ATA Raid but its still alive and wants to install in windows. Went back to check bios maybe i did something wrong but its disabled. Booted again but still in POST display both SI Raid Controller.
Shooot mee I did buy an Abit board !!!

Nitemare: well well that same thing happened to me too cause after i flashed i thought i could just load default from bios and that's it but same no oc and weird shutdowns happened to me too. then i just powered the system off and cleared bios with jumper and after that it works like it should.
Just found the 13 final bios. Like nitemare i had a problem with the multi. But with 13 beta 3 it wasn't possible for me to go any further than 356 fsb, no matter what voltage. So i thought what the hell, FSB400 * 9, 3,6 ghz with 1.41vcore, 1.6vmch and 2.0vdimm @ 1:1. It works perfectly, 60 min orthos stable. All 3d benchmarks stable. I will run orthos through the night.
It seems that they really removed the 365 fsb limit this time
Abit Aw9D-Max, E6600 @ 3.6 (L631A697), OCZ PC2-7200 Gold GX, Tuniq Tower, OCZ GamexStream 600W, XFX 8800 GTX @ 630/2000
Good news:
I just did a 10 minutes hard CMOS-clear by jumper. After doing that at least 2 problems are gone.
Those SI-Raid Controllers are really disabled if set in bios.
Overclocking is possible if I don´t touch anything in CPU Feature Setup in BIOS.
Testing now Orthos and new Prime 25.1 on 400FSB.
Lets hope that BIOS isn´t that crap it seems / seemed?!
Greetz!
BIOS 13 Final seems good, provided you don't change anything in the CPU Feature. You'll get a weird "2A" error if you disable everything in the CPU Feature. This is a new problem with this new BIOS.
Heck, the board doesn't shutdown anymore if I set FSB to 400MHz from 266MHz, which is a good thing... hope they have ironed out the ORTHOS blend test thingy.
Also, the "setting to 400FSB, turns out 399FSB" issue is still there. So just set it to 401FSB ;)
Btw, I flashed via awdflash.exe through a bootable USB drive.
Edit: CPU-Z says BIOS dated 12/12... and its only coming out today?!
Okay... 401FSB @ TRFC 35 | 1.75vMCH got me 4 mins ORTHOS Blend stable. Error kicked in the next second..... LOL!
Now its going over 7 mins at 401FSB @ TRFC 42 | 1.75vMCH :slapass:
@chefnr1, that is alot better 03 score than mine 28951. But my 01 and am3 are much better, and can run those at 472 fsb. 61728 and 191849. My 03 and 05 scores seem low and can only get 7426 in 06. I've tried them alot of different ways.
@pcmoddingmy, that new ver. of prime95 will start two threads auto and puts cpu use at 100%. It works much better than orthos, imo.
well heres my latest 01 score single x1950xtx http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9107436
if it's to low run them with some LOD then.
and i have'nt run so much whit CF now i just started yesterday so i will go in for it and get better scores ;)
Can anyone tell me why I am getting same FSB as CPU mhz?
I have played around with uGuru and changing straps but to no avail.
It seems stuck @ 266 FSB with my E6700 everything stock.
Please help.
I have a spare bios chip and will flash as soon as I get home form work :)Quote:

Same ol stuff, and no strap yet.
chefnr1, that is a good score. Does it seem like the benchmark scores 03 and 05 should be higher relative to 01. Have you tried am3 with this board/card?

I see your picture there.....but what is wrong with it? That is stock FSB....do you have something set differently in the bios?Quote:

Yes it is normal, and that is the problem. :DQuote:

Everytime I make Strap/Volt changes in BIOS they dont get accepted or the PC locks up and gets hard booted.
All changes are being made via BIOS and uGuru both with same results
(minus memory volt changes).
Oh well... I guess I will just wait on Abits official BIOS update. :(
I'm sorry :( I'll shed a tear before I go to sleep tonight.Quote:
