Well... I have stuck 2 different Winnies unders my Mach 1, and both worked perfectly. One was a week 34 3200+ and the other is a week 37 3000+. In the bios, the temp goes down to 0, then goes straight to 40c, and stays there....
Jinu...I got your A8V Deluxe motherboard...works great thanks!!

youpy tried a beta bios yesterday wich helped him a lot, hope he will post details soon
At least, someone benefited from my futile winnie trials... :P (he got one of mobo that lasted whole 20 mins for boot test in my hand)...Originally Posted by mikem

jinu117 .. the gigabyte reads the temps well, and it does not go to +xx .. it reads 0, -1, -12 etc .. but after it goes below 0º it starts the problems i've wrote in my other post.
I just hope it's realy a bios problem.
may you explain how did you realize that? Here averybody coudn't even post with the winny in subzero temp....Code:Well... I have stuck 2 different Winnies unders my Mach 1, and both worked perfectly.

Didi you used a nsi neo2 mobo? Did you use beta-bios?
I'm really interested becouse I've to devide if buy a winnie or a 0,13 for my new vapochill
Thanks
I've the Gigabyte K8NS Ultra with a 3500 Winnie and a Vapo LS .
The board don't reads the temps at all . It only showes - C.
It boots up into windows an then freeze.
Maybe a hacked BIOS will help .... but i'm not able to do that.

I hope so too. I had giga K8NS 939 ultra for trial too :P That one sucked hard too and actually best one out of the lot was A8V. It was fine till evap temp of about -44c (cpu temp reading -2x c and than.... pfffft) it went all the way up in hot zone and stopped.
Considering both giga and neo2 only booted up below -20c evap temp for me while A8V booting up to about -40c evap temp, tells me that there is some way to fix this issue from motherboard side.

The bios helps indeed for subzero temps on the asus a8v. Finally I got like 2900 prime stable with 1.7V, with very poor memory settings (near DDR400). I tested every mem I have here (tccd, eb, bh5) but none of them could produce any decent speeds.youpy tried a beta bios yesterday wich helped him a lot, hope he will post details soon
BH5 was the best of them all with at a lousy DDR466
There is nothing more to it then just flash the bios and don't use tccd's or high memory frequenties, however that is just what we wanna do...
I noticed I could get these mems way faster on the v0.6 Newcastle I also have here. TCCD was at DDR500 during my last pifast score (see signature).
My best guess is that on the asus the capacitators are very poor (see : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...345#post598345 for my "possible" explaination and react please for possible solution)
So I had a nc running 3 ghz @ 1.8 (which can do more) and a winnie doing 2.9 ghz @ 1.7. Since the A8V can't get any mem to run with the winnie I returned the winnie today (HCC days in the Netherlands) and brought home the MSI neo2 plat. Now I'm hoping I can sqeeze something nice out of my tccd's, or else I'll use my EB's but my goal is set at 310 x 10 sync.
For now I think we all are better of with newcastle s939 procs with a 0.6 version, untill there has been found a fix for the subzero bug, or a better board comes like the dfi.
Weird though that 3 differend boards all have kind of the same problems with there biosses....

My best guess is some motherboards react differently to the subzero temps....
Mine happens to lock at +40c and stay there...it appears other boards go to some other temp (probably registering a real high temp causing the system to protect itself and shut-down)
I guess I just got lucky....
The board I have used with the mach 1 is the msi neo2 platinum.
I havent tried Jinu's Asus A8v with sub-zero temps, as my guess would be it wouldnt work....

may you explain the difference for the newcastle 939 0.6 revision? How I can be sure to get a 0.6 revision? ( is that the cg core?)
thanks
The rumour is that the v0.6 procs (produced after week 33) may use the Strained Silicon technique, which allows them to run faster then the ones before week 33.
Well, seems like 1.4B1 MSI Neo2 bios saved my day!
The system works fine now with my Vapo LS evaporator@-50ºC.
I'm installing drivers and stuff and will do some bench's...

I'm using a neo2. I haven't had time to play with it for the last few days. I wonder if giving it a lot voltage to keep the temps above the mystery cutoff would help.and me also with XP. What i plan on doing is loostening the evaporator head a bit before firing up the Mach2, so contact is really bad, that way i can install XP without issue.
It's so strange, because once i get XP installed the A8V works fine with my Mach2
Cúchulainn what board you using?
How I can be sure to get this revision buyng it online? may you post the entire stepping ( just to help) or give me some suggestion to get this 0.6 revision?Code:The rumour is that the v0.6 procs (produced after week 33) may use the Strained Silicon technique, which allows them to run faster then the ones before week 33

For a few hours i had a 3500newk on my Giga K8NS Ultra .
The temperatures were shown allrigt for a Giga
About -25C -30C in xp no problems at all.
In the Bios don't it only says -C.
It was a week 37 newk but it clocked only ~2850Mhz at 1,7v .
The dealer has it back
And now i'm waiting for a Bios whitch will help us with the winnies.
Where does this bios come from?
It looks like at least some of the manufacturers may actually be on to this - good to hear!
Let me know if any of youz guyz hear anything about the Abit AV8 . . .

Ratax you were having issues like the rest of us and now your saying the new bios from onepagebook has fixed the cold boot issue? If so i'll use my last bit of sealstring to mount one last time for a go. Let us know if that's the case i just wanna be 100% before i use up the last of my string (yes i'm too lazy to buy more)

DFI LP LT X48-T2R
G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
BFG 9800GX2
2 x 150GB Raptor X in RAID 0
After looking around a bit I assume that's the bios referred to. I'm going to try it out tonight and see how it goes. I only have the bios linked to in that thread and I hope it really is the same as onepagebook's. I'll report back as well if you want to wait a bit longer.Ratax you were having issues like the rest of us and now your saying the new bios from onepagebook has fixed the cold boot issue?

Please keep us informed. It if truly resolves the issue and Gigabyte doesn't solve the problem .. i'll go for the msi.
For now, all is OK!
This is what I did in SuperPi, with Mushkin PC3500 BH5 @CPU/12 and LDT 2x:
I'm testing with default vcore at boot, and it's OK too. No need to configure higher vcore to boot the system.
Now I still have to test with the Vapo LS at -30ºC to boot the system, instead the 5ºC config I have now...
The evap temps are allways bettween -53ºC and -47ºC.
I'm having some problems in HTT higher than 275Mhz, and Mushkin BH5 higher than 3,5v... let's see what happens!
For now, I'm more happy with this. I thought I needed to buy another CPU when the new boards came out (this board is only to play until new K8T890 NForce4 PCI-E arrive...), but maybe there's no need of that.
Hope you guys have good news when trying this new bios!

Great to hear the new MSI beta bios fixes this too.
Traded my winnie for a msi so I can't try myself, but it's good to know if I'm ever going get a new winnie in the future
Well, Vapo LS running at default config (starting system only when evap gets -30ºC) and vcore at default too, the system boot's and stay in windows without crashes an pime95 stable.
No tricks to boot the system.
I think I can consider my system stable with phase-change now!

That's excellent news, Ratax. Can't wait to give this puppy a whirl. I was beginning to think my prometia was going to collect dust for a few months.
