has anyone tested this yet?

[Teflon]

I have it is very stable, a lil better IMHO than the 11/14

[Johnny Bravo]

good find, will have to give it a try later.

[stummerwinter]

Interesting news, will try this evening...

[tennvols_69]

from what i found it seems to like bh-5 better then tcc based sticks.

[Kasparz]

Waiting for 329-2BTA

[waiho2k1]

seems to be less stable to me than 11-14 one

DFI have also updated the Expert bios....

It is a very interesting bios with some options not included in previous revisions. I downloaded it and flashed when I saw it on TP a couple days ago...Must have been right after release.

I looked through here earlier for a thread, but didn't see one...It's actually why i'm back in here now. Anyone have any explainations of the new features experiances with it?

The +-10 temp thing puzzles me...Something I don't want to mess with until someone explains first.

13 . Synchronize DRAM related code with Expert and Venus.

Anyone find this line interesting?

Add CPU temperature calibration option.

Does that mean it fixes the incorrect temperature readings with the opterons?

[EnJoY]

I've been using it since the 30th. Very stable.

Awesome BIOS, I can tell already. Couple things to stand out were the temp adjustments, new drive data strength value (level 4), you can now key in you FSB! So simple but so useful and awesome.

Also it fixed my overvolting on the DRAM, before 2.5v would read 2.58 not it's back at 2.55 where it (sort of) belongs.

Highly recommended, I'm coming from 704-2BTA btw

[Grinch]

tried same setting that I run with the FX60 bios and was not as stable...did like the cpu temperature feature...

from what i found it seems to like bh-5 better then tcc based sticks.

That would make sense given the synchronisation of memory code with expert and venus, expert loving bh5 and venus loving both. I'll try this out tonight

[cMw]

ill try them tonight hopefully they will give me some more juice on my opt148

I'd like to try this bios out, but I have a question for those of you that have used it already. Does it change the drive strength and data drive strength settings? For example, is drive strength 8 still the strongest? I've spent a alot of time getting my ram set right and don't wont to start over on it again.

Thanks

[Repoman]

Yeah they're the same except it opens up a new data drive strength level, level 4

Level 4?, sounds good, the last time that i saw was in 310 bios, i'm gonna test it.
Thanks!!

[gsan]

gonna have a try soon!

[nfm]

And data drive strength come in percents, 00% 15% 30% 50% from what I remember. This is probably one of the best bios released to date. Works better than 704-2BTA to me, I can stabilize my bh-5 more easily than before.

Hey thanks, I'll try them tonight.
