Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I've just sent my p6t7 back due to the dud usb port, then someone posts the bios link!! Lol!!

Thanks for the link, anyone tried it yet?

Currently using my classified and its struggling to stay stable at 4.4ghz with HT, the p6t7 found it alot easier and with every voltage on auto except cpu and ram voltages.

***Why did MJ have to die!!?? :(

Concerning temps I'm at 34-37c at idle even with a 4.5ghz HT overclock!! Load max is 77c (With Linx stress test, the most brutal cpu stresser!) at the same overclock, its thanks to the amazing heatkiller water block and a tripple radiator

That reassures me. I was worried that my load temps were high on water. I'm at 4.2Ghz HT on with 70C load. Guess these i7's run hot even under water. :down:

You're doing good if your load temp is 70C at 4.2Ghz w/ HT. My Xeon W3520 was hitting 80C at 4Ghz w/ HT on aircooling with a TRUE. If I continue the build I'm working though on I'll probably be going water soon.

Can't wait to try out this new BIOS once my Enermax 1250w gets back from RMA. Hopefully it will offer a better overclocking support for the Xeons and a higher max BCLK. Has anyone checked to see if the new BIOS allows you to disable thermal throttling?

Wow, yeah, i just noticed that, good eye fire4wire.

He also went ahead and stated...

"The BIOS version installed was 0410 which is newer than that found on ASUS's website"

I don't know, that guy must of been smoking something..:rofl:

So have any of you guys tested the new 0305 BIOS and care to comment on it or what's the hold up? lol

Yeah, whats the hold up ppl:shrug:

Can't say I see any obvious difference with 0305.
Still no Turbo option.


BTW, has anybody had CPU-Z acting strange with this board?
For me it will sometimes open just fine and others won't open at all, though it does show that it's an active process in task manager.
(Vista Ultimate 64bit SP2)

Thanks for bios 0305, I have this board now.
But I'm new to Core I7 so overclocking goes bad..... :am:
So first I need some Core I7 overclocking tour.....;)

Hmmm.... maybe I'll try re-installing Windows again.

[EDIT] Yup, looks like it was a flaky Windows install the first time around. CPU-Z is working fine now.

Yes, follow the following to the exact letter and enjoy bios downgrading!:)

This method requires the Engineering Edition of AFUDOS. You can google "Afudos Engineering" to find some links to download. Here is a link I've uploaded.

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/...FUDOS229ES.zip http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/...FUDOS236es.zip

I use the Boot USB method since its faster and more reliable.

Extract the AFUDOS onto your boot device along with your BIOS in the same directory.
use this command to flash:

AFUDOS /ixxxx.rom /pbnc /n where ixxxx=name.rom

After it sucessfully flashes and verifies. Turn off your machine, unplug, and remove battery.
Easy as pie, spread the word people!!!!

Do at your own risk (Disclaimer) But it works:yepp: The removal of battery is not necessary I found

Asus, now get your ass in gear and give us the bios upgrade will ya!! This board is great but is held back by this bios!

How are you guys getting by with the turbo throttling? Have you tested with the i7 Turbo tool to see if your multi is holding at 21x under load?

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=225450

I can see it throttling in cpu z and real temp clearly, grrrr! Nice tool though.
