so what is this 1.A3Mod by Syar this dude was talking about can someone provide a link ?
nm i found it
lol im scared to try this bios lol
well my "playing with new stuff" didnt start off to well so im calling it a night.....can u guys imagine i couldnt stick on a atx connector from a new chieftec PSU, i tried one of my enermaxes that is hacked up (missing fans, wires sinniped with missing pots) and it conected OK, so now i got to wait till tommorow to pull out my working enermax.............
Lestat post link to bios and info then :rolleyes:
oops sorry i lost my head there. didnt mean to horde it all to myself :\

i havent tried this yet i dont have the guts any and allll 1.9 bios's have reacted VERY VERY violently to my system and hardware. meaning refuses to boot to anything.. voltages must be exact or below spec or system wont even finish post and on and on and on..
anyways this isnt 1.9 its almost like a 2.0 i havent tried it yet if someone else wants to... go for it.
btw the 1.36 Rev 4 seems to run really good... just as good as 1.8 rev 3 if not slightly better using the ocz PC4800 but still cant go over 260-ish with this ram without running 2T which is total bullsh|t i have NEVER EVER seen aNY ram fore you to drop to 2T at such low crap overclocks... ESPECIALLY when the ram is rated at 300mhz..
1.A3 bios is a good bios it allows me to get 320htt with the 166 div this is with muskin redline 3500 before with the 1.8r3 i could just to the 265-270 before things got hairy. now using this bios you cant jump the gun i did and scewed my bios up reflashed it and took baby steps 10mhz at a time and it works.so one success story here :) :) :)

there ya go, thats it on my yahoo briefcase. I was just about ot post it. Its scary how i can post my briefcase on a site and it will spread to others within hours. When i posted 1.9 before it came out i posted it on one site, and within 24hours it was EVERYWHERE. This bios has LOTS of goodies in it. Drive Strength, all the memory timings you could want, ATI/Nvidia speedup, a spot to input your MAC Lan address in case it gets erased like 1.9 did, and more. This bios was given to me by Syar on MSI HQ and it was one that he modded for his personal use. He has the defaults set a little different, but i believe it will be to most people's liking, no voltages timings etc are changed some some very basic stuff. (EX: Spread Spectrum is disabled, Full Screen Bootup disabled, etc.)
Enjoy! Its a good one!

I have an archive of NEO2 BIOS's going that I try to keep updated for everyone to use. Easier to have all them in 1 place with some information about them =)
http://www.msi.sploitz.com/
And as new BIOS come out or you find anymore info then I have listed, it would be great if you could send it my way so I can keep the site up to date.
Feel free to spread it around for people to use.
Does the 1.A3Mod by Syar have the no temp mod added. If someone using it could go into bios and look and see if it shows the cpu temp and mainboard temp etc or not please.
I cant flash a bios with temps showing because it wont work.
MSIMAX - awesome to hear you got your HTT up.
1.8 Rev3 was the best for me but 1.36 Rev 4 seems equally good.
no other bios other than 1.8 Rev 3 has allowed me to reach 370mhz HTT.
looks like i will have to give this new one a try and see what happens.
D3kMatrix welcome and thanks for the database and the time your spending doing it.
MSIMAX i got some of the special Redline coming around Saturday maybe even tommorrow.. 1.5-2-2-0 265mhz 3.6v :) i realise i highly doubt the neo2 will let me push it that hard but im gunna try.
It's gotta be better than this PC4800. Ive never had ANY ram that required you to run 2T at 265 and up..and ive had alot of ram.. not even their PC3200 Plat TCCD required you to run 2t on a NON DFI board. im a bit angry right now but i feel some of it is the bios's *maybe* ill try the new one and report back
Does this bios require the NEW awdflash ? the 1.9 did because its a different layout and style of bios.. it required the flash tool to be updated.. ?
i just hooked up my neo2 and my e6 venice, i flashed to 1.8rev3 but my ram is at 2T (i only stuck in 2x256) i cant find an option for 1T so do i need the 1T bioses even though i dont have a sandiego?
you cant find the 1 t ? dude go into dram configuration is has it right there...
reset your bios using the jumper also but 99% of the time you dont have to.
and im tellin you what fellas this 1.a3 whatever is total crap
its doing the same :banana::banana::banana::banana: the 1.9 does it REFUSES to boot to a cdrom a hard drive OR a floppy!!!
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AARRRRGGGGG i cant even reflash... last time i tried the 1.9 it took over 2 hours to get into a floppy to boot up.......
omg!!! screw that bios. Sideeffect.. YES the temps are there and the temp bug is also there!.. man oh man what a crap bios..
use winflash lestat. Thanks for letting me know about the temps ill get them removed before i try to use it.
Im more interested in the supposed 166 divider fix that it provides. I get my ballistix back again tommorow. Sent them back 3 times so far. Hopefully ill get a good set this time.
i cant use anything now cuz the f u c k e r wont boot to ANYTHING!!! omg you have no idea its the same anger as if you had a failed flash without a backup chip
right now the only thing it will boot to is memtest floppy and i have no idea why..
it wont boot to my hard drive,, it wont boot to ANY cd not even the XP cd.. it says it is but then nothing happens.
the only thing thats happening is memtest floppy and it boots to grub once i choose a selection in grub nothing happens it just sits at a blank screen...
with a floppy,, a dos floppy it reads the floppy but nothing happens.. my gawd i cant be the only one this happens too...
this is the same b.s. that 1.9 did to me and there was no fix it just all the sudden went to a floppy for no reason.. damn it i dont have the time for this this morning!!!
i need in my pc
im on the g/f system right now
there its in a floppy now
all i did was unhook my Raptor and my the hard drive hooked to my promise TX2 133 IDE controller
so one of those things it definately does NOT like...
so im done with this bios regardless of stability or what it can and cant do .. if it fails cuz of my raptor OR promise ide card i have no use for it... i need both of those items..
well back to 1.36 Rev 4 for more benching
sideeffect just so you know
temp bug is still there
-12v is STILL friggin being reported as 7v
USB memory crap is still there that needs to flippin go
there are NO 1/2 cpu multipliers
the "above 200mhz" Memory options are there but all they give you are 100, 133,100,100 they are worthless not sure why they are there.
oops forgot.
the IR function is always on just like before...
other than that there are some nice memory options but since i cant even bench with the bios i have no way of knowing how well they work
Im serious there is no 1/2T option in bios and i flashed to 1.8rev3 and cleared it fo like 30min with psu unpluged and still nothing, mabey its my E6 rev CPU
are you using a san diego or venice ? or X2 ?
1T 2T has nthing to do with your CPU,, menaing if 1T 2T is showing.
reflash it... hit f! to reboot... once you get into the post screen.. and its going thru post power off.
reset the bios with the jumper. - you only need to set the jumper to reset for 5 sec's actually 1 sec,, thats all it takes.. but i do 5 sec. then go into the bios and see if its there.
my chip is an E3 and i see it just fine..
you should have memory freq - 200 166 - 133 - 100
1T 2T auto
2 - 2.5 - 3
and then the other three... in that order...
do you see the other memory options ?

hhmm interesting go grab the 1.8 w/ San diego fix that will force 1T no matter what
Agreed, I was about to recommend the same thing.Quote:

wow guy ebay yourself a floppy or head down to walmart if you got one.
technically if you have a USB thumb drive just throw the bootable files on that and it will boot into dos that way
Floppies arent going away anytime soon. although they been talking about it for the last 5 years
you can also ebay yourself a usb floppy.
use a cd-rw lol
if you have an old win98 disk boot up to that and choose boot to dos ,,, then when your there if you have a hard drive that has a fat32 partition just browse to that and flash from a hard drive...
use winflash i dont like it but i have never had anything bad happen..
just be sure to check reset cmos
hehe i got a fdd its just im my main system and i dont feel like taking it out, unfortinatly i dont have any cdrw atm so i got to do it like this...............but that is not important....
more important for this thread is that even with 1.80rev3 1T bios it still puts it 2T and i dont have an option of changing it, i flashed to 1a3 mod now to see what it does since the 1.9 brought rev E6 cpu support.............with initial teseting (posting :) ) with 1.8rev3 board was going to around 380 htt
