cheers:toast:

Sounds great and I'd jump right in and test it, but I have one question before I do, and that's...

Do you need any newer SATA drivers for XP with the updated SATA BOIS?

OMG :eek:

K . U . D . O . S my friend :toast:

Im fed up of the silly temp readings i get from D_10, however my board hates D22 :(

I'll wait till to see if theres a D14beta, my favourite bios bar d_10 :D

Seriously guys, a job well done. Abit engineers take notes!!! :banana:

:toast: :toast:
:toast: :toast:
:toast: :toast:

wow.... great achievement...!!! :banana: :banana:

BTW, did it also resolve probs with multi 11.... i think many ppl here are also getting this at FSB higher than 225...
in other words is it only 10 and 10,5 or also 9 and 11 ???

i just flashed to d1.0 and testing my *new* Mushkin LvL II PC3200... so i will give it a try later today

:toast:

it is base on D22 bios....

what i did is i change nf7 series SIP table

coz i found out D10 have different SIP table than D11 to D22

D11 n D22 all off them have same SIP table

Abit didnt do anything/change/update their SIP table since D11 bios

Well done to you all!:toast:

Top Job....now wheres that extra vdimm :p: jking

Nice 1! :cool: :banana:

You are the man!! You learned those damn Abit engineers how to do magic! Just awesome! :slobber:

amazing!

:toast: :toast: :toast:

(abit developers should be ashamed that it had to take some fanatics to fix that bios bug!!!):slap:

Works good so far, been running at 240x10 for a couple of hours now. I wish there was something we all could do for tictac. I think we own him big.

well done :banana:

this is still 1st version.... hope can make other varian that can clock up better than this 1 :)

Everything runnin great so far. Ive been runnin 225x10 for 4 hours prime95/folding stable. Im using Hyper-X 3500 ch5 (2.5-2-3-11 @ 2.7v) with no problems. Also my mobo didnt like the d10, but I have not encountered any of these problems with this bios :) ... I would like to thank tictac again (prolly like 100th time :) :) ) for all his hardwork & he is truly the NF7 Bios God. I agree with shroom as I would like to do something to thank tictac for all his hours of hardwork he has put into for us. I wonder what Abit officals must think of his work as he was able to do something they couldn't

This is one of my favorite sections in the forum and you guys have done a great job in here. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing your results with the rest of us. ;)
:toast:

WTG tictac. You da bomb! :toast:

Shoot. If only I hadn't sold my nf7 I would be all over this. Maybe I'll buy another one just to try it out.

WTG man!

Sweetness.. I'll give it a try once i get my issues sorted out!

Thanks tictac :D

Unfortunately still no go for me. Just tested it, reflashed twice, still BSOD. :brick:

I always knew my board was posessed. Does it work for everyone else???

yes... most of user gain some fsb on their multi 10 n 10.5

u can go and check user feedback @ amdmb forums....

Great work tictac! :slobber:

I wonder whether this will work with my mobile barton? I was getting a no POST with d22 3dfire :(

Oh dude I totally believe ya, I am just saying I have an unlucky board here. I tried 230 and 225 and those failed, but I also saw some people only got up to 220ish or so. I will try 220 x 10 later.

Keep up the good work tictac :toast:

Not trusting no more bios's afte what happened alst time.

thanks tictac good job :)

kommando: what happned?

Ummm when i booted up i had a cpu error saying it was at 3100+ instead of 2500+

Then i got bsod and never booted.

GHOST....

this is still my 1st version... i have 5 more extended varian for this D22 alpha1

now it is under testing by my betatester

great job tictac, looking forward to testing it once my rig is back up again!
:banana: :toast: :D

Im still gonna try this bios, hopefully it will work and perform well :)

Awesome work tictac, I tested 220 x 10, and it booted up fine and ran prime95 for 10 mins and failed after that.

However, any other BIOS I tried, even D10, would never even get into windows for me, so this is already much better. You are almost there dude!!!

I've never had problem with 10x on this board i got from RMA. I get higher fsb with 10x then 9x/9.5x with the original D19 bios. 230 2.06V Vdd so it isn't that good anyway ;) But amazingly better then the last board that did 225 out-of-the-box and this one did fail over 221 stock.
D10 made it worse and i loss FSB with CPU Interface disabled.. So i don't have any reason for trying another bios but great work anyway tictac :)

just pm u

u may try thatversion too:toast:

Good stuff tictac.

Always been a fan of your work and all 3 boards I've owned have your BIOS on em'. :D

Would buy you a drink, if you were here. :toast:


I wonder what Abit engineers think of all this.

I never had a prob with the 10/10.5x mults. Never had to do the L12 mod either with my 266fsb cpu's......232 runs fine...2-2-2-11 cpu on DC...mem needs more Vdimm though
the only thing is that I cant use the D10 based bios's. The board hates those..

I have one of those boards too buff. Hates the 10 bios and it wont unlock my 2100(only 13 and higher)

But i have this bios on both boards now. Works great.

so the new d10 that tictac made works better the 22BKing on the weird board?
Right now I am limited by Vdimm. If I could get higher Vdimm, FSB wouldbe higher.....
if it aint broke,dont fix it, right? :P

heres a link for the new bios, for those who cant get it.

cheers:toast:

p/s: sorry never try changing other sip than d22..... :(

Here's some results of the AlphaBK... Im hittin new highs for myself at 230x9.5 CPU Enabled 1.7v/2.8v 2-3-3-11.. which I could only do 230 on old BK with CPU int Disabled, I couldnt get past 223 w/CPU Enabled. I got higher scores on sandra 04 mem benchmark 3078/2894 (AplhaBK) .. 3027/2794 (Old BK).. 3025/2786 (Old 3DFire) .. I also made gains on ATTO, PCMark02, HDTach, Winrar bench & Aquamark. I am compiling my results & will share them when done :)

btw.. those sandra04 scores are 200x11 CPU Enabled 2-2-3-11 APIC ON

@chilli
Firstly thanx for you results. I'm going to give it a shot.

I think your numbers are a little low for you memory and setup.

I get 3489/3179 when I run at 225FSB x10 multi
and 3489/3205 running at 240FSB x9.5 multi.

I hope TicTac can fix the low multi's (below x10) bandwidth problem.

1 of my forumers just post his result in my forums about
D22 Alpha 1

but not sure what multiplier he is running on... anyway 257MHz quite good fsb i would say :slobber:

TicTac, i tried the d22 with my nf7.. it doesn't like the new bios'.

it likes D10..

spice up the d10's :)

another screenies regarding this D22 Alpha1 bios

we on the fast lane... :)

by Mr BroJason From Malaysia :toast:

Wow Tictac, you're getting some pretty awesome results in with this BIOS.:banana:

I'm going to try it for sure as soon as my KHX3000 turns up.

Just a question for everyone here though. Are you guys flashing from the bootscreen or are you using the ABIT FlashMenu program?

I have used the FlashMenu...the latest one (1.3-)...no problems

I really, really hope that any peeps associated with abit get to read this thread and other similar ones like it.

Abit should be ashamed and ashamed again, for months they have ignored, yes ignored the enthusiast market which has followed them for so long. How else would you call this 'problem' which has existed with a mothbrd of theirs which many, many peeps bought just to be tossed to one side because of this issue.

Ill stop now, i dont want anything more to be taked away from tictac and all the peeps who have been involved in helping resolve this 'issue'

tictac, you are a credit to your family and friends, I understand that u enjoy doing this type of stuff but I still salute you.

:toast:

Your intent is a enuff to show any peeps who tictac is, you inner spirit is exemplified in the work you have shown to the enthusiast communities around the net.

If peeps dont know; tictac's expertise is not only being used to fix abit's NF7-v2.0 bios, but is being put to good use on tweaking other manufacturers mthbrds.

Kudos to you again,

:toast:

All the best

Tictac, you have released two versions with the 4227 and the 4247 SATA BIOS, why? What's the difference between the two?

I really like the look and feel of the turbo release. I like the way the tuners are set up and wish all bios were that way. ;)

Yo tictac man do you ever sleep? :D

You are releasing new BIOSes left right and center, and I know its not just for the NF7-S either.

Awesome work man, stupid Abit should hire you and pay you big $$$, seeing how you've done what they should've done a long time ago (the multi fix).


P.S. I have a DFI Infinity on the way, can't wait to try out some of your modded DFI BIOSes in it.

:toast:

i think that would be my final version for D22 alpha1

coz got to study also..... hehehe

GOOD LUCK n ALL THE BEST

tictac

Couldnt you just take ten days off to study and relax? Somewhere where they dont have a computer in the near?

You had left us before as well, but came back with a thunder. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you again.

thanx and all the best
