having some problems now with my s2e
using ez flash with a pendrive can't flash my old 0402 bios to 0508
keep getting invalid rom id
don´t flash 0508 ;)
use 0511 or 0512
http://rapidshare.com/files/107112839/0512.zip.html
any logs of 0512?
but why i get invalid id anyway even trying to flash to a non beta bios
no changelog for 0512.
0508/0509 you can flash with awdflash.
0512 say invalid rom id to with ezflash. but awdflash works.
thanksQuote:

Can you run CAS Latency ( tCL ) 5 with BIOS 0512 mate ?Quote:

This are my new 24/7-Settings with P03R2:

(Vdimm is 1.948V)
I can see some people are getting nice FSB. Also, whats up with this new BIOS? hopefully it is some fix to current problems that are going around.
not testet yet. i will make later.Quote:

Im looking at at least 4.5 I HAD A QX6700 AT 3.6 WITH NO PROBLEMS
THIS SETUP SHOULD DO FAR BETTER
IF I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH OVERCLOCKING IT
I'm hoping for 4.2-4.5 with my current water setup once I toss in this QX9650 and S2E. I'm currently priming a friend's 9650 at 3.82ghz under a Xigmatek, and it's running 70,70,75,75 degC. I needed 1.38 vcore for this. :( I hope the chip I just got for my rig does better than this.
I can't go in bios now on my xfx :( RMA ?

Hi guys,
I have some problem with OCZ PC12800, I'm not stable to 1600x9.5 and 1600 7-6-6-19, and RS to 1601x9.5 and 1600 7-7-7-19 with 0511
Today flash 0512 or flash ram spd.
Hi guys,
I am struggling with my newly bought hardware to get it stable.
I have s2e, tested with bios 0507 and 0512.
I cannot get any fsb > 375 and < 450 to be stable.
I just won't go past POST or get a BSOD while windows is loading.
FSB 450 is stable but I need to use high voltage:
PLL 1.5V
FSB 1.5V
MEM 2.0V
NB 1.7V
SB 1.5V
fsb 1800 with memory linked, CPU is 450*8 = 3.6GHz.
I could pass Orthos with no error for 6+ hours.
I tried to set the memory at 1800 unlinked (keeping the QDR at 1333) and the performance was awful: everest read give 8.3GB/s when I get 9.3GB/s with memory linked and synched at 1333 and 12.3GB/s with memory linked at 1800.
P1 and P2 are enabled.
Mateo
Oh nooes.
I ran memtest86+ to check that my corsair dominator dimms were ok.
And I get multiple errors for one of the 2 modules, always in the same range of adresses.
I tried to set fsb back at 1333, and reset the timings to auto (relaxed at 9-9-9-24), and no errors.
If I set memory at 1800, I get errors with 7-7-7-20 and even 8-8-8-24 timings. Memory voltage is 2.0V.
What the hell?! Arent the modules supposed to be tested in factory?!
What do you guys think? Did I get real bad modules or could it be something wrong with my OC on the 790i?
I'm confused.
is there some problem with data corruption in bios 0512? I want to put SIIE back to rig, but i am affraid about my another disk (i have one dead from SIIE).
nothing bad happened to me whilst using 0511 neither 0512. 0512 finally have P1/P2 options available :)
I'm currently using 0507 + 0511, and I have the P1/P2 options ( don't know if they really work though :p: )Quote:

When are we going to get an official non-beta BIOS release?
P04 should be available tommorow :up:
Is that posted on the eVGA forums?Quote:

I have plenty of BIOSes for the S2E from Asus as well.
How many releases do you have for the eVGA ?
I have 8 for the S2E.
[ not a e-p**is fight, and no offense meant ] { it's just my silly way of expressing it that makes it sound a tad bad }
so why bother saying it if you know what it sounds like and no real point to the comment? ;)Quote:

How many BIOSes are there for the eVGA ?
p.s. Nice to hear the eVGA 790i Ultra SLI is treating you well.
lol 8xbioses
do they actually change something in those bioses or? j/k :D
Yeap, sure they do change stuff.Quote:

At least it's way better in terms of b*tchiness over the first Striker.
P.S. Wow, they got the name right on their FTP now! ( the first striker is still shown as "Stricker" on their FTP :D )
haha, so more is better? i thought that meant that it was worse because there were more issues or they needed more tries to get things fixed :D
as of now, the P03R2 bios is absolutely bang on...for dual cores anyway, no idea bout quad users. they just have to fix the CL7 bug, leave P1/P2 adjustment in there, and perhaps clean up some of the POSTing issues. every now and then, a completely stable setup won't POST. it just hangs at 11 or some other random code. a quick reset, save & exit and she fires right up though.
that is one thing i have not heard mentioned...how easily the reference boards recover from failed clocks. no need to even turn the power off, just hit reset and your back to a safe boot. it is very handy.
Nope, that's not what I meant.Quote:

It's good to see more and more mobos being able to recover from failed clocks easily.
to be honest, i'm not 100% sure. stability at CL7 is shyt...benching is fine at decent clocks but getting anything 24/7 stable much over 900MHz at CL7 was impossible in my testing. could just be the single kit i have tested with thus far or a FSB thing. the BIOS also doesn't recognize that CL7 is set on the POST screen and some guys are thinking CL7 doesn't even get set.Quote:

i love that bit myself ;)Quote:

i donno man i am just as happy with mine but ppl shoot down anyone that's happy especially if you got the board from them lol..... 'sif :rolleyes:
i am yet to have an actual corruption of the hard drive.....as in the whole drive goes or kill one....i seriously don't know wtf some of the review sites/users here were doing to kill their hard drives...maybe a PSU issue :rofl: :D
but it is annoying to corrupt windows when RAM is not stable......only cause i'm a tool and still don't know how to use Acronis or ghost or others........actually i think i've mainly given up in the past cause of lack of raid sata support and other things..........and i never successfully managed to reload acronis backups on a couple of mission critical machines at home :rolleyes:
jody i know what you are saying about CL7 .> i also see CL8 when i set CL6 in bios during bootup >> so for me at least both CL7 and CL6 reporting issues need to be fixed >>> i didn't prime with these though so can't tell you about stability but all my DDR3 sticks >> 2GB and 4GB Corsair kits and 2GB Crucial kit tend to do the same
maaan i wish i could bench CL6-5-5 at 900+ on this board....that would be crazy fast lol.........it would be hideously fast and would even beat Bill's board in Superpi :D
the eVGA is rock solid at 450fsb with Q9450 P03 bios, but memory performance seems to be low............here is what i got..............

Just an info for you those who are concerned by heat issues
I have throw a hr05 sli ifx on NB and evercool cooper on SB
decrease by 15°c on NB or more and 20°c on SB
so far so good
http://images3.hiboox.com/vignettes/1608/vrn05q16.jpg
I got the reference 790i now en only 1 stick at the time works thats F*ckud up
And yes i use the black 1's
slot 4 works 2 is down
That can't be software related or not?
Mems i did test on the 790i
Kingston 1066 mhz Cl7 1.5v
Corsair 1800 mhz Cl7 2.0v
Cellshock 1800 mhz Cl8 1.9

The reason why I said this was because eVGA has at least an admin in the forums who answers questions to problems and tells users about the new upcoming BIOS releases. Something ASUS doesnt have.
Also, there is something called "changelog" which ASUS for some reason doesnt include in the beta BIOS files, why? I would like to know why too.
Whats so amazing/useful about a new beta BIOS if we dont know the changelog? Why leave the task of finding changes to the user?
And NO, Im not been an eVGA fanboy neither an ASUS fanboy. I dont own neither boards but this has ALWAYS been the case with this companies since 680i. Currently I own an ASUS Striker Extreme but that doesnt cover my eyes from the reality which is evga>asus in support which has been said enough times already.
I took it as serious as I take everything.Quote:

Well yeah me too, but you know there are always useless BIOS releases (for some not all) like useless fixes for some people and we dont want to waste time doing a pointless upgrade unless is something critic, hey I use BIOS 1004 for my Striker :rolleyes:Quote:

That would be sort of like spam (since 790i has sooo many different stories from all of us) :ROTF:Quote:

I might be getting another Raptor but killing them, hell nah I wouldnt tolerate that. I might use my old 100gb drive to test the 790i whenever I get it.

Ok Here you go Striker II Extreme Owners, I have collected every single BIOS out (except for 0101 and 0402), try AT YOUR OWN RISK. All this BIOS files here came from users that posted them here in XtremeSystems.org so they should work with no problems but again since I dont own the SIIE I havent tried them. I TAKE NO RESPONSABILITY. Remember all of this are BETA BIOS files!.
ASUS Striker II Extreme BIOS 0507
ASUS Striker II Extreme BIOS 0508
ASUS Striker II Extreme BIOS 0509
ASUS Striker II Extreme BIOS 0511
ASUS Striker II Extreme BIOS 0512
Hopefully this will save the time of many people looking for specific BIOS releases :)
I've got something better :DQuote:

thnx Gylen, hope I can test soon....(quite) happy to know i'm not alone.
Ok, why would you do that :( 2 posts with the exact same thing (except that you dont point you dont guarantee anthing, so there is a warranty with your BIOSes :D )Quote:

You know it takes time to test all the BIOSes thoroughly.Quote:

Apart from that... I have a life, a job, and lots of reviews to do ( just FYI it takes me about 170 to 190 hours for a motherboard review, and I've got three of them here for review ;) )
Simply put, I can't focus on finding all the bugs for every S2E BIOS right now.

Its a strap change thats loosening the latency on the NB, thats why 450FSB is so stable on this board, because strap changes and easy on the NB.Quote:

Got it a few days ago and did most of the build today.
http://mysite.verizon.net/drose20619...StrikerIIX.jpg
Put it in a Lian-Li case, Ultra 1000W power supply, and Lightspeed phase cooler.
Starting with a QX9650 CPU, OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 FlexXLC Edition and FireGL V7600.
Will use Koolance Exos 2.5 for auxiliary cooling.
Plan to upgrade to a Nvidia 9800 GX2 when blocks are available.
Will probably be setup enough to start benchmarking next week.
Appearantly you don't have full collection heheh :)) Also you don't have lastest 0601 release :DQuote:

You need to flash the new BIOS with awdflash ( bootable FDD/CD/DVD/USB )
so 601 is a winner?
Je ne sais pas ( I don't know )
I'm packing my stuff for a move.
I'll start testing stuff again this Saturday.
Im glad to hear that. Please report us with some results asap so we can have an idea how well this BIOS is performing.Quote:

Errr I feel your pain. Some other guy on ASUS forums also got his board screwed.
I could flash to 0601 using EZ flash (from 0512).
It seems that some of the fsb holes I had are gone: at least I can go past POST more often, getting everything stable is another story.
I might not be the right person to assess 0601 improvements:
I have really had no luck with the parts I got for my nw rig: my QX9650 hardly goes above 3.6GHz (vcore 1.325V) and my brand new cellshocks do 1800MHz 8-7-6-21 1T only at vdimm 1.9V (1.7V gives me memtests errors), so no margin to overclock :-(
Will a ISO flash work as well??? I never did a awdflash before... I have no floppy drive.. :(Quote:

Yes it will work.Quote:

lets just hope these issues can be fixed with a bios update, and we dont have to get a new board, even tho eVGA has the best support of any company.
P04 is supposed to be released friday, lets hope it comes tommorow.
I knew this was coming after reading this thread. I have nothing but problems w/ S2E. Corruption all the way after any change in bios, even if I set the timings manually as advertised by OCZ. I've installed Windows so many times in the last couple of days I memorized the serial # LOL!!! Tried bios 402, 508, 511, 512 and 601. I requested a RMA from egg. Only 1 question to the people who were in the same wagon as me, after you guys got a new replacement, did it change anything or the problems continued??
Believe it or not, it worked for me through EZ-flash2 in bios this time.Quote:

Here are some pictures of my bios-settings with P03R2. Maybe it is useful for someone. This are my 24\7-Settings with 4x1GB D9GTR. When i have 2x1GB installed i just change 2T to 1T and 1600MHz to 1800MHz.

Believe me or not, but i would never intend anybody to damage bios by giving bad file...Quote:

Answer is below (changelog, for 0508). So - those who will try to use EZ Flash 2 from any BIOS earlier that 0508 - just will got that message about incompatibility, and needs to flash via AWDFLASH instead of EZ Flash 2.

still need to find P03R2 for Evga - can someone please help me find it?
Sorry, but there is no one aviable. I hope they will implement P1 and P2 in P04.Quote:

I didn't noticed any copy/write changes (or maybe within measurment error) if i set it at Auto/Enabled/Disabled.
nVidia engineer didn't answered my question :(
have a look at the testing notes about P1 and P2 in my threadQuote:

Thank you. Definitely will spend some free time today to find out how does it affects 4x2GB configurations.
where are you guys getting this new 0601 bios from when asus dont have it available on their site ? they only have 0508 ??
601 bios has some holes that 511 didn't have for me... can't post at all between 1840-1930
also, seems that this bios disables P1 and P2 sooned than 511 did. Running 601, my r/w/c and latency dropped considerably at my 24/7 oc @ 460 fsb. had to manually enable P1 and P2 to get the performance back.
not sure I'm a fan of this new bios - back to 511 for me
i am on 0507 and still trying to get a stable o/c at 3.4mhz currently at vcore 1.4875 with pcie at 105 as this seemed to allow me to actually boot at this speed and now running prime95 for an hour so far so good failed before mind you but i upped the vcore to the new 1.4875 so hope that does the trick any suggestions anyone ?
funkflix,
Not really much help for my setup, but thanks for sharing your settings.:up:

Hey Dinos
Do you know if 790i is able to run OC w/ 4 RAM sticks at 1T?
Also, when enabled, does P1 and P2 cause inestability with 4 Ram sticks?
