i have the exact same chip...0526 APAW. Mine does 2.8ghz with 1.65v with my xp-90c. I'm using the 1.36 rev 4 bios right now (the non-1T version), and i think having 4 sticks of my OCZ plat might be hurting my oc. Anyone know if a SD can handle 4 sticks at 1T?Quote:

BooYah very good dude ESPECIALLY with 4 sticks of ram but dont forget you also have a 3700+ not a 3000 or 3200 like me. lol.
:banana::banana::banana::banana: my system wont even boot with 4 sticks of ram. all it does is beep at me.
and yes that 4 sticks, there is a very very good chance its blocking you from going higher. yank 2 out and see what happens. Does your ram auto run at 166 ? since its 4 sticks.
hhmm when my ram comes back from rma ill have to give the 1.36 a try.
Harpy - there are a few online places that will look at the stepping for you and hand pick it for you. dont ask me where but i definately have seen guys talking about them.
And yeah money is stopping me or i might have went for that 3800 X2 but also the fact that the dual cores arent really even utilized yet. its too new. give it until xmas or sometimes in January or Feb before you buy. AMD will have their Socket M2 chips ready i believe. which will also make all the other chips drop down in price.
sorry to ask this question like this but i dont have time to go throung all these pages...
I got the neo2 comming in few days and im wondering what is the best bios or modded bios for it.........ill be using it with 2x512 OCZ Gold BH5 ram and not sure yet if winny or venice cause i just ordered oem cpu
thanks
it dont matter if its oem or not you should have seen or can still see what the cpu is.
go to where you purchased it online that is and see what it is
what speed is it 3000 ? 3200 3500 ? and where id you get it.
not sure if its venice or winchester wow... thats like buying a grapefruit but not sure if you grabbed a grapefruit or orange.
and either way the 1.8 rev 3 modded bios found here http://www.swjka.com/k8nneo2bios/?dir=./need.for.mhz/v1.8%20Modded%20BIOS(s)
will probably be your best bet.
For bh-5 bios 1.36b or newer should work well .Quote:

Not going to have too much time to mess around with my SD until this weekend, but i did test to see if it defaulted to 166 with 4 sticks of ram and it does not. I put it down to stock speeds with the 200 divider and it gave me 200mhz memory.

oh ya its a 3000..........basicly getting that and the neo2 is gonna be the same price that i can sell my newcastle and epox s754 board for here
so basicly the NFM modded 1.36 rev4 or the 1.8 rev3 are the best bioses right?
yes. :)Quote:

you could always trade 4 512 sticks for 2 1 gig sticks... 2 1 gig'ers will still require more power than 2 512's but not as much as 4 512's. but the downside is 1 gig sticks dont overclock as well.
Hi guys,
I'm currently using the 1.8 official BIOS, and I'm having issues with my USB 2.0 IDE HDD Enclosure, it is recognized correctly but when I start transferring files, the drive just "disappears" after a while (like if I unplugged it). Very annoying and makes the thing unusable. I tried it on another machine and works fine, so it's gotta be my NEO2 acting up. All other USB devices I have (including a 512MB USB 2.0 flash drive) work fine.
Would another BIOS fix this? I heard good things about the 1.9mob3 by NFM, but since I never messed with trrd values and such I'm afraid I might lose stability (running a mild overclock here, a 3200+ Winnie @ 2400MHz, 1:1 with OCZ Rev2)
im not sure where you heard that cuz its a lie.. no offense to NFM but he stopped working with that bios cuz its :banana::banana::banana::banana:...Quote:

go grab the 1.8 rev3 from his site.. its beautiful!!
have you tried using a different USB port for that hard drive enclosure ? hhmm ?
i have 2 usb hard drives both 120 gig drives and i have never had any issues.
reflash the bios with the Rev 3 and it should be ok
but its also possible that your hard drive or USB enclosure is bad or the cable.. <--- just a thought... :\

Well, I'll try the modded BIOS and report back here. Should I try the 1.9 official?
*shakes his head and sighs*
nooooo i told you which to use. RESPECT MY AUTHORITAYYYYY!!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_17_4.gif

Tried 1.8r3 from NFM, same problem (although everything else is fine, nice BIOS). Did not try 1.9 yet, though... maybe tomorrow.Quote:

ive seen this on a time or two but not very often. when i saw it happen it was something with the PCI management bus that actually controls the USB ports and speeds. This really sounds like an overloaded usb port though.
what about device manager ? what does it say about your usb ports when this happens ? do you get a little error down by your clock when this thing goes goofy. ?
are you plugging this directly into the mobo or a usb hub ? If its a hub ... dont use it.
dont forget have you actually used the jumper on the mobo and reset the bios ?
there isnt anythingi n the bios that could cause this all the bios does is say on or off high speed or normal speed. and bootable or not.
Yeh, doesn't sound like a bios issue. Stick with the 1.8mod rev3...its currently the best one out there. When you re-install the nforce drivers, make sure you don't have the nvidia IDE driver installed. :)
arg i give up.. i can't go pass 2800mhz with anything less than 1.66v. i have decided to run it 2750mhz at 1.6v 24/7 until the X2 comes down to $350.Quote:

Now it's stable.Quote:

After a minute or so everything goes back to normal.Quote:

:mad:
AND it didn't help, the USB HDD is still not functioning. And I am connecting if directly to the mobo, there is no USB overload (I only use USB Keyb and mouse). And as I said it, no error occurs, the HDD simply "disappears" during the file transfer, exactly the same reaction if I were to unplug it while it was transfering files.
Ah well.... thanks for trying anyway guys, I appreciate it.
help me downloal bios 1.36b
