How is different than the 1101 already out?
08-18-2006, 12:37 PM

Asus posted 1101 a couple of weeks ago then pulled it and now its back as "Updated". No word on the difference but some users were having issues with the originally posted version before it was pulled.

What site are you going to where it shows it as updated?
I went to the asus global->support and they still have 0801 in the bios download section.
08-18-2006, 12:52 PM

i went to the global site too and clicked on the download link at top. This fired up another browser session where you can search for the type of MB you have. It was under the ALL catagory

But when you extract it, the rom file shows 8/8.

Im sure it does.
If it was new bios it would not have been uploaded to the ftp a week ago is all I meant.

No thanks, had enough of that one last time it was out.

Geezzz... couldn't believe this, don't you guys know how to use file compare ?

Here open a Command Prompt box and type "comp /?" or "fc /?" and do that damn comparison to see any difference between the old & new even its same version.

Some "Extreme Overclockers" huh ?
08-18-2006, 02:13 PM

It would be VERY bad on ASUS' part to release 2 different BIOS versions under the same exact name-regardless of how short the first one was posted or how small the changes are/were.

I doubt it's different. This would be VERY bad revision history practice. Of course it is ASUS after all...

That said though, someone be the guinea pig and try this sucker out!:)
08-18-2006, 02:15 PM

Hmm.
Well, i've got it on my P5W DH and i'm only seeing 360 FSB on water @ 1.485V

I've tried all the fixes on the Probelms/Fixes thread. I'll have to double check my 6600's stepping when I get back home, or get this stupid attachement ot open. Freakin' work email strips anything useful coming in I swear.
08-18-2006, 02:20 PM

This is a bit OT, but I just got my P5W DH today and there isn't a sticker on the box that tells what bios is loaded. I'm not gonna have my e6600 for another week or so. Is there any way to tell what bios I have? It does say on the label that it supports core2duo end core2extreme. I've just seen other folks in here say that some had stickers that stated what bios was loaded.

Ain't on the box - just on the BIOS chip itself. And it's usually wrong anyway. If it says 0701, you're good for C2D.

It's on the bios chip which is located on the lower right hand of the MB

i had better flash to the 'real' 1101 quickly if they pulled the old one

and yes
kind of dumb if they made it look teh same but had 2 versions

thats why you call it '1102'
08-18-2006, 02:50 PM

it's the same bios, the file was never removed from FTP, only on the website

OH MY GOD

This is not good

Just updated the bios with this 1 in EZ Flash in the bios.
It erased the bios and when it went to read the floppy bios file it said could not read file. GREAT 3 day old board and a dead mobo.

Im so sick of Asus, ive had nothing but problems with this board since new, and not even overclocked at all. Installed with default settings in bios all safe settings. Still was unstable as hell.

So i have a 60 mile drive tomorrow to take the board back and im changing it for something else.

Please recommend a new motherboard manufacturer for my C2D

Many Thanks in advance

Ugh, still got the rig on?

If you didn't rename the rom you need to type afudos /ip5wdh1~1.rom

Because the filename is too long. You should have type "dir" in dos and it would show as p5wdh1~1.rom and you just type that instead.

Anyway.. have you tried the bios recovery tools explained in the manual???
08-18-2006, 03:14 PM
topboy

Before the MB bios was wiped, the seting in bios were set to boot from harddisk only.

I was using the EZ Bios update thing in the bios when it did the following.

1. Erased the bios
2. Failed to read floppy drive new bios file.
3. rebooted machine and it does nothing.
4. Inserted Asus CD and it does nothing

Anything else i can do....Thanks for the advice
08-18-2006, 03:16 PM
lawrywild

have you tried the thing where u're supposed to leave a floppy with the bios file name p5wdh.rom in for 5 minutes????????

This is why I tell people to use afudos :)
08-18-2006, 03:20 PM
topboy

so is this what your telling me to do lawrywild

create a floppy with JUST the p5wdh.rom file on it
boot machine with floppy in and leave machine for 5 minutes with floppy in.

what bios came on your board? you might be able to just insert the driver cd and let it reload the bios from there.

Same BIOS. Never disappeared from the ftp, never got updated either. ASUS needs to fix their damn servers, under heavy load old cache contens is served (hence new files tend to disapear from the web sites.) BTW, all files on the ASUS web sites are marked "updated" :stick:

it also could be my board is fresh from RMA. new h/w maybe but the rev on the board is still 1.02g, same as the one I rmaed which doesn't have the 1.85vmch

I flashed then cleared cmos then took batt out... I still see 1.65 as my max, no 1.85 for me.

Maybe it's a mistake in the 1001 bios.

Maybe Shrekogre could set above 1.65v and actually measure voltage with DMM?

Besides the vmch any improvement with memory timings/dividers or ocing?

never oc cos i got another board already. i just leave it on the test bench cos of you guys since i need to retrieve the bios and try the vmch. will be keeping it in box after today.

That's only the FET, which if anything will be higher spec (for higher voltage) so shouldn't affect the mod :D

F**king typical really, you jump on board early on a board only to find that they release a better version of it without even changing the revision number. :mad:

I wonder if another setting somewhere in the bios could affect what MCH voltage appears.
Maybe Performance mode: normal -> 1.5-1.65v / turbo -> 1.55-1.85v etc.
Or having a certain AINOS setting selected could make it appear ??

He's confirmed that he's got a different chip to the rest of us though hasn't he? I can't check my board because it's at work, but I know I've never seen a VMCH option over 1.65v.

Well the FET is different but it could just be an equivalent from a different manufacturer. (It's just a common power transistor basically) The chip that actually controls the voltage (the RT9214) is the same :confused:
Maybe it is down to just a different FET, but I doubt it tbh.
However, on the other hand, it must be a very simple hardware change for them to keep the same board revision.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if that particular board is flashed with the 1101 bios.
Would the higher voltages remain :confused: :confused:

Better order up a free BIOS chip from ASUS.

ok need some feedback. does any of u guys always have "new cpu installed" prompt on post after shutting down for a while on the 1001 bios? it seems i'm getting it.

i've flash back to 801 bios. seems like no problem already. the vmch stays at 1.85, so i guess its hardware and not bios. seems like the 1001 very very very buggy.

I found the 903 to be the best so far. I might even try the 701 again; I never got a chance to mess with it.
08-20-2006, 08:45 AM
Mykou

With 701/078 bioses My E6700 (ES) was not recognized and could't even boot ( no post at all )

So with 1101 bios I feel fine and lucky at 3.5 ghz stable 24/7 dual prime ( 24h testing 57° cpu and 39° mobo ) and noticed I could evn lower my Vcore - actually 1.48v bios vs 1.51 few days ago ( 1.43v with pc probe )

Some others with 1101 noticed that too .

Maybe could you give a try :)

if its true newer revision with 1001 stock bios can do 1.85vmch.
then i shall wait a little while to see if its can OC better.

I don't remember seeing asusprobe showing vmch in windows. any other s/w can show? anyway, the 1001 bios very buggy. i had a lot of strange problem with it.

Well my adventure ended early today, looks a though my bios does no support the e6600. I hoped that maybe it was the G skill but I get no screen with some corsair 5400c4 either:(

Did you mean 3.8 GHz couldn't get back in, Max OC is 3.75Ghz; testing 3.70Ghz. 3.6Ghz stable 24/7?

I'm currently attempting to hat flash my bios:(
