im using 1.8 rite now ... all non-0.5 multiplier works fine for me as well.... 9...10..
finally got the chance to try out 1.9 official... i can onli say it is worse than the 1.9B5 i previously was running on.... not sure wat the heck happened to MSI tho...
guys.. i just jumped into the sandiego 3700+ for $260 deal on monarch... can't wait to put it onto the Neo2 :))))))))
What about new 1.9 OFFICIAL??
- Support AMD E6 CPU.
- Support Cool and Quiet funtion.
- Update NVPXE version to 2.12.

Yes we have tried it and its not as good as 1.8. Not worth it unless you have a dual core cpu.
san diego +neo2 = more issues
you will have to run the 1.9 bios in order for it to work properly or use one of the NFM 1.8mod bios with the San diego fix...
if i were you id stay with the 1.8 san diego fix bios... sideeffect can agree with that i think.
hehe... i believe that is the where the fun begins isn't it... im already done and bye with the venice now.
more like frustrations instead of fun..... the San diego is the 1meg L2 right ? vs the 512k on the venice ? they more or less are the same cpu though aint they ?
Well it seems to me that the san diego has less issues then the venice. Something to do with the memory controllers. But yes i can confirm the 1.8 with 1t fix is better than the 1.9. I might however be moving to the 1.36 bios as i need more vcore now to get any more out of the cpu.
What we really need is a good bios modder to work on the 1.36 bios to add the 1.8 romsip and the fixes made in that bios. But to keep the higher vcore :p:
i heard that a blend of 1.36 and 1.8 would be nice indeed.
That's a great idea! Hopefully the NVRaid bios gets updated too! Is it possible to merge the nvraid module from 1.8 bios into 1.36b?Quote:

how about is NFM... you wanna try merging the good stuff from the 1.36 and the 1.8 to make a super bios ?
Yes its all possible to replace romsips and sata bios versions because its been done before for the DFI lanparty. Hellfire and Merlin from DFI Street were doing it and they made some fantastic bios files.
Unfortunatley i dont know how to do it (to stupid).
But NFM would it be possible for you to add 1T fix to the 1.36 rev3 that you made?
Here you go sideeffect and others:

This is 1T V1.3B6 BIOS for San Diegos only. I updated Nvidia's Raid within BIOS so watch out for this BIOS until it will get confirmed that it is working
Good Grief, you actually want to throw more that 1.67V at that (not-cheap) San Diego? Even with the Vapochill, I would not do that other than for a brief moment to see how high it would go, then back down as quickly as possible. You can't, in good conscience RMA a chip you damaged from too high a Vcore.Quote:

Thanks for the bios mod NFM. Ill test it out. :cool:

personally sideeffect you already probably know this but give the chip some time.
After 2 weeks im now stable at 2.75ghz @ 1.65v a week ago it was 2.65ghz and when i got the chip it was only 2.6 @ 1.65 volts.
what i do is not even burn it in... i just up the HTT a bit until it locks up or wont boot then lower a little then just go into windows and run normally for a few days.... if it crashes alot of course lower the HTT more but no need ot really mess with the vcore much.
i actually had to run at 1.7v @ 2.75ghz for like a day before 1.65v was stable.
now mind you Prime95 will not run but it is 1m Pi stable and all games are stable 100% never had a crash yet...
I have a feeling i may even be able to drop the voltages a little bit which i may just do here in a while or this weekend sometime....
SE.. let us know how the 1.36 feels... i personally have to stay with 1.8 cuz no other bios lets me get to 370 HTT for osme reason 1.8 lets me just crank the heck out of the HTT. i love it...
Yes ill let you know soon. The HTT isnt quite so good for me either on the 1.36 but i think it will let me get to 275 ok. Think from last testing it crapped out at 290ish where as 1.8 would keep going.
Yes im not crazy i dont want to kill my cpu but the only problems i have read about are at 1.75 volts + as well. I just need a touch more than the 1.8 can give me (1.63) to fully stabilise the cpu at 3ghz+.
And have been burning in this cpu since i got it maybe a month ago and yes its helping me to. When i first got it anything over 2920mhz would crash with any vcore after a while but now it never crashes. Plays games fine and super pi is fine. Just prime needs a little more vcore.
wow NFM ur the man.....
also i believe 1.7v should be still quite ok ... especially got vaporchill... or even water.... but i myself would settle for the safe 1.6x... this BIOS is really cool.. i can't wait to test it out....
it is said for sandiego onli... . any problems running it with venice here?
No it will work fine for venice as long as your venice will do 1T. It Just forces 1T because san diego's dont have the option in the bios. But if you dont have a spare bios chip dont try it yet because its untested. Ill post back in 30 mins and let you know if it flashes ok.
sure.. thanks a million.. i really appreciate it..
i won't be flashing it until tomoro... hehe.. downloading a chinese movie which i must watch tonite
hhmm your only getting 1.63 too huh
even at 1.55v +10% it bounces from 1.63 ~ 1.648
just wish there was a way around this.
so did you already verify that the 1.36 will let you go above that even with a higher VID % ?
on a side note.. i know it sucks but Core Center will let you go as high as you want. in my bios is .1.55 +10% but core center says 1.7 so when i go to 1.75v cpu-z says 1.7-ish with it running at about 1.7 under load.
i guess you could just up the settings in windows with that and clockgen if you really wanted to, although i dont like it,, its just a pain...
but it is nice for testing..
Seems i bent a pin on my spare bios chip so i cant test this bios now....
Yes 1.36 has the higher percentages so allows about another 0.15 volts. I have tested with core center but dont really want to do that every time i boot.
1.45 +10% = 1.63
1.55 doesnt do anything cause maximum is 1.45
that voltage control is all in the bios.. VID or % over VID all MSI has to do is unlock the full voltage control and it should work fine.
the chip has no way of stopping the motherboard from giving it more volts other than built in voltage regulation or a signal to the mobo telling it to stop the voltage at 1.63~ 1.65. the % over VID was only a thing MSI and every one are doing cuz they are so :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing stupid and expect everyone to have a calculator in their brain to do %'s.
none of these boards need the % over VID the mobo makers just do that cuz they think its cool... its not.. its totally retarded. just give the stright up voltages.
the bios can be told to ignore the cpu i believe and volt it as high as it wants....
thats what core center is doing, its telling it to ignore the cpu and volt up to 1.7 and 1.75 anyways..
edit -
im so ready for a different mobo with better voltages and vdimm.. ugh....
btw my gig kit of ocz pc4000 is available. 145 usd shipped to your door.
if dfi gets that ultra-D straightened out i think im switching back to dfi. i miss my 250GB.
NMF can u make MOD - bios version 1.9 Official (2005-7-12)?
