[humeyboy]

I never seen it on Asus site but the FTP.

I have gained nothing with this Bios.

Boot 4 sticks of my ram (Rev 1.1) to 1175mhz with normal voltage and no fancy tweaked settings but CANNOT boot out of Bios to even Post with just 1 stick beyond 1175mhz no matter how much voltage or settings tweaks.

Thanks for link

Interested if it will allow a few more mhz from my ram

[GeorgeVasil]

OK..I've tried '2104'..

vNB-VTT issue : Present
Pull-ins NOT Working:Present
A little bit Lower Ram Bandwith at my 1901 27/4 Settings: Present
BSODs At my 24/7 Settings:Present

BIOS 1901



BIOS 2104

Same Settings All Pull-ins enabled.



Nice Work.. ASS-SUS© BIOS Engineers.

It took 5 months to add one more ''OC CPU Level Up'' Entry. (The only change this Bios has).

Could you please upload your bios setting please?

otherwise im not able to boot up with 1:1 fsb:dram at all!

[screwtech02]

Anybody got funky IDE light action during bootup with 2104???

Hi.
These are my settings for e8400. Orthos, Linpcak, OCCT, SuperPI, etc... all tests were OK, but when i start a 3d game (Burnout Pradise, Velvet Assasin, CoH:Tales of Valor) after a few minutes or seconds, freezes like hell.
First i thought it was win7, but it does the same thing under vista. VGA not OC-ed.

[Eeky NoX]

Lol !! Just clocked wit it yesterday morning and it was great for suxx yeahhh !! MFAsus Bios !!!! Don't have any screenies cus' I thin that's useless after all ^^

What I can say is that the NB is limited to 1,54v, the vCore to 1,6v bios (1,58 real loadline cal on) didn't get higher than 440FSB on my E7500 and @4,2 stable -_-

For my Crucials (D9GMH) looked quickely with 3:5 and instead of 1200 it was 1333 :/ don't understand anything ...I'm still furious bout this release !!! Go to H(s)ell MF MIIF !!!

I think I'll go back to 1307 which gaves me more satisfaction.

All my Asus boards have some worth perfs at every new bios rev. so they definitly lost a costumer !!

[TouGe]

Yeah, I never bothered flashing to the 2104 BIOS. Even if it were to be the "Bee's knees" of BIOS's, I'm pretty much done with this board and Asus in general.
My interest as of late has been the DX48BT2 and 2 x's 2GB of G. Skill Pi Black DDR3 1600. I've never owned an intel board before so it should prove to be an interesting distraction until I upgrade CPU's sometime 1st quarter of 2010.

try adjusting your PCIE to 101 or 102 and up SB volts a notch or 2

Hey guys, anybody got any suggestionos on gettin my 9450 stable?? Here are current settings..

GTL's auto (please help here, i HATE math)

Chip and mem are known to run 4.0/1200 no issues....

Any help is appreciated...

Hello

I have had 4gb ram for ages now and my system has run fine with 450fsb on my Q9450@3600mhz. But recently I ordered more ram, so I now have 8gb and now I cant even get it stable in windows anymore with same settings. I have 4x 2gb Dominator PC8500 ram moduls one par is rev 1.1 and the other is 1.2 if that makes a diffrence. I have tried alot of settings on the ram now with alot of diffrent timings but it dosent get stable at all. Do u have any tips?, I have read the dominator thread on extreme bandwith section and they have 8gb of ram stable on alot better timings then I have. What am I doing wrong? I will post bios settings that works for my 4gb setting:

That has worked for over 1 year 100% stable with 2x2gb modules, now what should I do to get 4x2gb stable? is it impossible?

Here is the memory thread btw the first postar has the same mobo as I have and only diffrent cpu and his memory runs fine on alot higher fsb and tighther timings:

sent you a pm

[AquaRelliux]

sent you a pm

I think I tried all those solutions with any luck this just sucks:/

Edit: oh wait when I was about to decide it was time to bring the rams back to the store a they started getting more stable , But I do run tref @ 105 now lol, 1 hour prime 95 blend stable atleast so far

[AquaRelliux]

So none has any ideas?

[screwtech02]

I'm having the same issues man, i also posted in the GTL settings thread, maybe you should also??

[Grnfinger]

I'm having the same issues man, i also posted in the GTL settings thread, maybe you should also??

whats your issues m8?
I have 8GB 13 hours prime stable running 1121MHz

[screwtech02]

Man, having issues getting the skews straightend out i do believe. I cannot for the life of me get it stable at 1199-99.. Same setup did it on my Formula, but there is better bandwidth on the P45. Only thing is, i havent ran this board in almost a year, and have forgotten bios settings ect... I posted all my settings on the GTL post, think ya could look it over, and give me a heads up???

[ecidious]

OK..I've tried '2104'..

That would be why I dropped the extra money on an i7 setup rather than deal with this .

Atleast they didn't break the CPU multiplier again

could u plz post your settings for that then?

Should i adjust the NB GTL also???

WOOT!! The above settings seem to be workin fine so far! Seems i had the GTL's reversed.... Ugh..... Thank's for the new direction!

And u can do that with 450 fsb +? I dont think those timings will work for me looks pretty much standard to what I have

[screwtech02]

I couldnt do it with the 5-5-5 timings, my mem is rated at 6-6-6-18. Otherwise, 498fsb runnin my Q9450@4.0... WOOT!!!!
