LMK what you think about the 1.A3 MOD Millyons, I'm thinking about trying it because my CPU multi doesn't work with any of the 1.9 versions. And there is no 1.8 BIOS with all of extra memory timings unhidden.

LMK what you think about the 1.A3 MOD Millyons, I'm thinking about trying it because my CPU multi doesn't work with any of the 1.9 versions. And there is no 1.8 BIOS with all of extra memory timings unhidden.
well im just playing with it, i didnt want to flood the thread every min but its better for me, 1T works now, more options even though max HTT is around 360 (post) and multies work for me (well i only tried 5x and the stock 9)
millyons
what type of hard drive layout do you have ?
sata ide , ide controller card ?
i would like to flash with that bios again and trouble shoot why it caused my system to not boot.. it maybe somehting as simple as the Promise IDE card... but whats odd was that i had to disconnect power so the Promise bios wasnt loaded into memory.
i also did the raptor at the same time.. i wasnt thinking i was getting upset i should have done one at a time..
just one old hdd 20gb (with bad sectors :) ) and a CD rom since im just testing the parts and im just about to install win on there
edit: i flashed with awdfl833d
edit2: whats the temp bug with the Neo2 does it show higher temps or lower? and is there a way to monitor vdimm ?
It shows higher temps like 265 degrees. With 1.6 - 1.8 bios the bios will lock up when i try to view temperature in bios when it reads 265. In 1.9 and after bios the bios setup wont even load.
So if bios wont load i cant set settings and so ussually cant get to windows or anything.
No way to monitor vdimm from windows or bios. But you can use a digital multimeter to measure vdimm look back a few pages for pics.
thanks, i guess i dont have a temp bug, thaught i might since cpu is 40c stock in bios, but its a stock cooler (i guess i forgot it sux :) )
The e6 Venice are single core manchesters. The original venice was a E3 the san diego i have no idea if its E6 or E4/5.
So the E6 does have the 1T issue just like the san diego. So you can use 1.8 with 1t fix or the 1.9/1.A3 bios files to use 1T or just force it on start up using athlon 64 tweaker.
Good news is the E6 venice cpus look to be great cpus and will do good clocks on less voltages than the E3 venice cpus.
edit = cpu-z says san diego is E4, Revision = SH-E4
1.8 1T fix was no good either, 1a3 is dope, but for now my cpu doesnt seem to be too great i just tried 2600 and with 1.55v its erroring after few min in prime, the temps went up to alsmost 65c but thats on a stock newcastle heatsink so well see when i put everything in my case and stick my XP90 on it
thats really wierd man that 1T thing./..
when you boot does it say your memory is 2.5-3-3-8 1T or whatever you have it set to in the bios.
I've never heard of the 1T/2T actually missing.
ya all the settings were as i set them but like i said i had no 1T option after few reflashes and clearing bios few times, even with battery out, psu unpluged and drained
thanks for the info sideeffect thats defiantely good to know.
one disapointment is lack of power on by keyboard :( (or im blind)
no thats gone
no temp reporting in this mod BIOS version is also availible .
Revision 1A3 MOD4

Thankyou syar2003.
The 1T fix bios wont show 1T on bios boot. It will however be set by the time you get into windows. You can check this by opening up a64 tweaker.
65 degrees at 1.55 volts and 2700 mhz seems very high. Are you sure the heatsink is mounted correctly. I got lower temps with my san diego on air and that was with stock cooling at 1.52 volts 2750mhz and the san diego has the extra l2 cache warming things up.
The E6 cores are manchester based so they have a starting voltage of 1.3 volts not 1.4 like the other venice chips so they shouldnt need the vcore.
Try reaplying the heatsink pehaps change the stock fan for a 80mm fan and then set volts to 1.4 volts and overclock from there. I bet the errors your getting are from heat rather than the cpu not being able to do 2.7ghz.
there is another thread about the max heat limits of the cpus and a program has been made to show this. They think its something to do with how well the heatspreaders are applied and can effect your overclock so try out the tool HERE

k mabey the 1.8rev3 1T worked then, i used it before i installed windows, now im on the 1a3 mod and i like it for the timmings, and also one strange thing with the 1.8 and the 1.3 (that was stock on the mobo) is that my CDrom wasnt getting detected most of the time on secondary or primary chanel but with 1a3 its all good.
ya it does seem a bit high for that cpu to run like that i heard they were pretty cool running, but it must be cause of my setup under my desk on the mobo box and no other fans around, anyway like i said in next couple of days its going in the case and i have a XP90 so well see what it does, my Newcastle with 1.75v goes up to 50c with it.........i just got to decide will i use my ddr booster or just do the 3.3 rail mod, just annoying that i cant monitor vdimm
i have been fighting with this mb for a long time this bios is the best yet it does every thing i put at it.. and also i use winflash all the time never once had a issue just make sure u click every option. and the the 1t is in there

i would use the DDR booster the motherboard doesnt like the rails being changed as lestat will vouch for.
You can monitor vdimm by using a digital multimeter check this picture
HERE
I think youll find its set .05 volts above what the bios sets. So 2.75 volts will be 2.8 volts real.

jesus chrsit dude your desktop is not a download and storage location.. you know what having that much crap on your desktop does ? wow....
clean that crap up and use shortcuts
oh and btw ... i hate you and your friggin Negative cpu temperatures ... :P
i was havin probs. it would go to 265htt anything after that it would radom reboot so i used to set it at 260 with the 166div and then i win i used clockgen to bring me back up but its pain to do that all the time. now it boots all the time at 320htt 166 div. i never had this prob till i got 1gig memory i used to use 2x256 bh5 so now i happy for now :) :)
my HTT seems to crap out at a measily 270. If i isolate the board it fails Prime at that speed and SuperPi goes out the window too. I may just have to sell my AGP card and this mobo and get a DFI with a PCIE...
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Finally got some good memory from Crucial and am now stable at a decent enough clock so i can chill out now. Ram has flashing LED's too :stick:

i hate you dude i really do...
and i hate my 3200 venice
dont tell me 250 is the best you can get out of the XMS extreme
all i want is one good chip and i'll be at peace with myself.
*sidenote*
hey how were your results with the 1.36 Rev 4 im getting slightly better memory and cpu clocks out of it. vs the 1.8 rev 3.
my mushkin redline 4000 should be here today woot woot!!!
