That is correct...2t is what people normally run with more than 2 stick to get it stable it cuts down on performance...when it is at 2T 1T is the best and increases performance

anyone of you know what the best bios is for a venice + bh5 ram?

Mussels

try the 310P and on, it varies system to system.

(310P, 316. and 510-2 are the ones that work best here)
Venice / UTT

3.10p and 3.16 also i have heard that the 5.10-2 work VERY well with Venice and BH-5/UTT

Can someone clarify this for me?

Some people are saying that xxx-1 bioses are better for TCCD RAM, but others are saying it's xxx-3 which is the more suitable? I know that it says that xxx-3 are the optimized ones in the first post, but I'm sure that I read someplace else that this was the wrong way round?

i beleive -1 is a general bios for all ram, -2 is for UTT (Vx) and -3 is for TCCD.

-1 or -3 work fine with TCCD, some people have better luck with different ones.

oh, and for a while here either the info or the links was backwards for some of them, read back a few pages i beleive it said it somewhere.

What about the Hellfire BIOS? I'm just running it and it seems to be fine with my BH5 :banana:

It is all fixed and yes you are right about what ones work for what it also says at the bottom of the bios...maybe I should put it at the top also...

You must be kidding me......
There are a BOATLOAD of folks having boot issues with this board.
It should have been fixed already.

There is a thread here, that is NOT even about the boot problems ( AN8 thread I think), where at least 3 folks complained about it in there, there are threads here, amdmb, OC,dfi etc... discussing this problem.
This problem is bigger than they think, and they know about it ( although they can't reproduce it :rolleyes: ), yet it's not important enough to support folks that already spent money on this buggy board?

What good is a board that ya have to fight with everyday when starting it up?
I never saw any print in the manual stating ya had to leave it on 24/7 to keep it running.
Anyone else see that in the manual?
Didn't think so.
Don't mean to sound off on you, but if what you are saying is true, then thats just plain BS.
Either that or we are talking about something completely different.

Good Day

Dude.... you're running a beta bios. get the hell over it.
go back to 310P and you wont have it, these bioses are not meant to be stable or officially supported.

Dear mates,

Did anyone try both BIOS 5-10.1 and 5.10.3 for TCCD chip? Which do you feel better? As it is stated here

Quote:

- 5.10-1 Updated 5.09. 1 uses 3.26 ram table (TCCD)
- 5.10-3 Updated 5.09. 3 uses 3.10 ram table (TCCD,BH-5,UTT) TCC* will run better in orange slots.

Will TCCD be really better in orange slots with BIOS 5-10.3?

I beleave it is so as UTT is better in yellow for most bios...and I have heard that TCCD is better in orange...at least witht he 5.10-3 that is...With UTT some people can gain 15MHz by going from orange to yellow...

They might not be offically supported but they DO work MUCH better in almost all cases then the offical none modded bios...you trade speed and performance for slightly decreased peace of mind from having a beta bios...

BTW people have had the proble with EVERY bios under the sun NOT JUST beta and modded bios....

I have a question how to flash the bios without a floppy drive:

Can I boot from a USB stick with the DFI Board or have I to flash from CD? USB stick would be nice because that was the reason why I bought me one.

Winflash has a "Reset CMOS" option that you can check.
