WTF is up with Abit and this board??? First i jump ship from the DFI board to come to the Abit board and now DFI actually comes up with a decent bios while Abit has their thumbs up their bums. Its been nearly 2 months since the last bios revision, what the heck is going on at Abit lately? I new i shoulda trusted DFI and gave them a few more bios rev's to work out that Infinity board...

**Hilfiger** · 11-28-2006, 06:16 AM

**Nettwerk** · 11-28-2006, 06:57 AM

anything new?

**shimmishim** · 11-28-2006, 07:04 AM

sheesh... 3 beta's in 2 weeks... yet nothing really fixed... interesting...

i'm giving b03 a try. let's see if it does anything

edit:

the vcore voltages now show up correctly in uguru

1.55 bios = 1.55 uguru

that's a step in the right direction!

**Hilfiger** · 11-28-2006, 07:41 AM

in the new bios:

memory is stale again, no more crashes
thermal monitor 1 and 2 is back
the voltages are real now

maybe other things too, looks good for the moment, and maybe is me but everything is faster now

**RLM** · 11-28-2006, 07:49 AM

thermal monitor 1 and 2 is back

Only recently got this board, what are thermal monitors for? I've disabled all that.

RLM

to save energy, i mean is to acclerate or devrease your cpu in function of 1-throtle or 2-video ratio

i just leave it on to save some noise :p

also the new bios ,belive it or not is orthos stable .

**ken** · 11-28-2006, 07:58 AM

nice one Abit, just after I sold my board yesterday

**GhostMaster** · 11-28-2006, 07:58 AM

is this a good motherboard for a c2d 6400? I want to buy a 975 chip7 but asus cant pass 400fsb and this?
P5b deluxe is better than this one?

Sorry for my bad english.

**MrDeeds** · 11-28-2006, 08:14 AM

@Ghostmaster

This wouldn't be the best board for a 6400. If you look through the thread you'll see that a lot of people can't get orthos stable over the low 400s.

I would be looking for at P5B Deluxe or any of the other P965 boards. If you really want 975X check out the dfi infinity board.

**RLM** · 11-28-2006, 08:16 AM

Okay Hilfiger thanks. i know on the x2's and dfi's it was recommended to keep the throttling off, I'll look into that

Just did a test with thermal throttling. Default settings, as I don't really understand how they work. This may well have been the reason for my results.

Did a 3d render with an app called fprime, using both cores, and my machine hung.

Took off thermal throttling and it's fine.

So just my own experience is that I'm better off without it.

any blend test pic stable ?...

**shimmishim** · 11-28-2006, 10:27 AM

this bios looks more promising than the others.

i am now able to get 10 minutes of blend while before i was only getting 4 minutes.

gotta start somewhere right?

How do you flash that bios? Its not the right type of file to be a bios.

Works fine with abit's FlashMenu.

i use flashmenu through windows (comes bundled with uguru).

you don't have to rename the file. just flash as is with the .b03 extension. it'll flash fine.

i've done it 3 times now.
