Black Ops BIOS of the Day: G28

[Harshal]

^^ Thanks. For 1800, I am setting 1.878V in BIOS and still face the stability issue. But since you said it may be undervolting I think I will try 1.91V and 1.9X. If I know I can tighten the timings with a few VDIMM bumps.

Saaya, i ahve been trying to use this G28 BIOS wih my Cellshock....but not evenstable at 400 FSB which i was able to do with G27...Any advice..have tried to leave settings on AUTO and playing with control, clock and command skew as it is called in this BIOS as oppesed to dll in the G27 bios..
Any help or advice?? Getting rather tired of this whole mobo memory problems. It runs fine for a few minuted them BOOM....................i get BSOD forno apparent, I know it is to do with memory. I keep hearing how these new Cellshock modules should go up to 450 fsb on dualcore procs BUT i can hardly get the damn thing running at 400 on a quadcore...............why is this. Don't you guys test these modules on quadcore procs also....
Most people on this particular thread run dual core and get pretty high FSB...what about quad cores and cellshocks and this Blackops mobo????

I had trouble with my Cellshock blue kit running at a fsb of 400 also. After a few minutes of prime 95 the computer would hard lock. Memtest would show errors on test 4. Couldn't figure out why, running the memory under its rated speed. Think I was using 7-7-7-14, 1T, performance level of 6, 1.801 volts. Tried increasing the voltage without success.

Then I read a thread where saaya said something about sometimes to much voltage can give errors also. I think it was in the extreme bandwidth forum, in the Cellshock 1866 thread.

Changed the voltage to 1.783, no errors ever, even after hours of prime 95 and memtest. You might try using a little less voltage.

1. make sure that you select NATIVE MODE at the EIST FUNCTION under CPU Feature in QUANTUM BIOS

2. You'll need to go into the OS control panel then select the POWER OPTIONS, now select HIGH PERFORMANCE.

That should get you your correct cpu speeds without the throttling going on...

Thanks; I did notice the cpu clock ratio was locked at 6 so I enabled Frequency Unlimit and changed the cpu clock ratio to 9.

Just received my replacement board and flashed it to G28..

At stock settings the QX9770 is running at 2402 with the multiplier set at 6, is this right surely it should pick up the correct settings by default?

hmmm this doesnt sound right at all... so it ran at 6x266 instead of 8x400?
Weird... did you reset the bios and load optimized defaults after you flashed the BIOS? how did you flash the BIOS? from windows or floppy?

Ok I got my chance finally. This BIOS improved usage of OCZ-2000 CL9 kit specially with my E8400. With QX9770 I am not sure why but is far from stable even @ just 1600 CL7, will just restart while opening few folders or loading cpuz.

hmmmm this only happened with the qx9770 right? hmmmm

Hmm i cant get any OC going on at all, the BIOS (27, G28) keeps setting my FSP/memory back at 1333Mhz nomather what i try, i can't even get the memory to run 1600Mhz as they are rate at only thing i can get up and running is 1333Mhz, before on my rampage i ran 3.8ghz on my Q9450 at 1.375v so on this black ops i have tride 1.400 nothing happens other than i cant boot up into the OS and it reset all my settings back to std. 333/1333, any ideas?

You are absolutely right!!! I have been using G28 BIOS for a week now and i have been able to use 411 x 9.5 stable (CPU 1.43 volts on Agiea panel...BIOS is set at 1.45 volts) with 3dMark 06 and 3D Mark Vantage stable and all the memory settings are on auto!!!! Unbelieveable..i just use 1.783 volts for memory modules for these settings !! I have not run any other bencharming softwares yet though. I think that these Blue Cellshock need very little voltage on this mobo...
I am now trying to get 411 x 10.....stable with water cooling...Will keep you guys updated.

hmmm could you post some more details about the settings and voltages your using? have you tried low multiplier and high fsb with 1:4 333 or 1:4 400 memory divider? what timings and vdimm?

glad you guys like it!
and dont forget, whatever vtt your using is .1v more than what the board is really running, since your on a 45nm cpu
so if you set 1.3v its actually 1.2v

Hello saaya.

for my memory 7t, 7t, 7t, 21t and 1.8v in BIOS and i have trid allmost all of the divider just to get my memory at 1600Mhz.
and now as you can see on the pic. i have trid lower the multiplier and set my memory up as they should be:
7t, 7t, 7t, 21t and 1.8v in BIOS, FSB 1:4 400 = 1600Mhz (no problems there)

For the CPU i have trid from standart voltages to 1.412..., core speed: 3200, 3400, 3600Mhz but it cant boot, it just keeps rebooting for 4-6 times and then go's back to standart value.

i can't go any higher whit the memory then the 1600Mhz

BTW i got an weird problem whit the AegisPanel10232 as you can see in the pic. below

mmm this new bios seems pretty good thats done with a 2 stage cascade sadly the cpu has weird broblems when its under subzero temps the multuplier starts to jump between the lowest 1 and the 1 its set to so when i try to run a bechmark the results come really bad.
mmm i think i will try my E8500 tomorrow and test how well this new bios handles dualcore chips

[dMITIj]

#34 Solarfall, what BIOS are you talking about?

woops !!!!!!!! forgot i swapped the newer one today to a older one LOL hhahaha some1 needs to get some sleep and fix his eyes

[Nosfer@tu]

You propperly Disabled EIST.
I think that is when it happens, it must be at Naitive.



benching to much will shut down your brain

Only 12-18 hours sessions at a time

[saaya]

hey dMITIj,

so now you managed to get the mem stable at 1600?
k, at least so far so good... so whats the max you can reach with your cpu at the highest multi with low memory divider of 1:2? and whats the max fsb you can reach with the lowest cpu multi and low mem divider of 1:2?

hey solarfall,
didnt know you were benching with a blackops too!
nice!
and yeah, check if EIST is set to native mode, it should work fine once thats done forget the 8500, try an 8600, they seem to clock really nice

i have a few cpu do this...
i would say do this:
run superpi 32m first before cascade reach maimum temp and open cpuz
try to see the temp when the multi drops t0 6x

when that happens many times u need to bootup warmer if not its stuck to 6x

[saaya]

sounds like the thermal diodes cause thermtrip cause the temps they read are out of range, which they interpret as hot
so when you boot at warmer temps and go to low temps once your in windows this doesnt happen?
interesting...

[dMITIj]

woops !!!!!!!! forgot i swapped the newer one today to a older one LOL hhahaha some1 needs to get some sleep and fix his eyes

haha.... this time you forgot to tell what BIOS you are useing?

[dMITIj]

hey dMITIj,

k, at least so far so good... so whats the max you can reach with your cpu at the highest multi with low memory divider of 1:2? and whats the max fsb you can reach with the lowest cpu multi and low mem divider?

ill look at it when i get home from worke

[Solarfall]

@Nosfer@tu/saaya yeah the EIST was set to native mode still the multis jump back and forth... hehheh and yeah i would love to torture E8600 chips but they are kinda hard to find at these latidudes.. soo i got no choise but to wait patiently

@shamino..... how do i boot up warmer ?? you mean boot into windoews before the cascade reaches its full load ??

@dMITIj... mmm i think that bios is the newest offcial bios

@dMITIj... mmm i think that bios is the newest offcial bios

yes...if u use ln2, u can see the temp where it will throttle to 6x

I cant get it to do anything at all with above settings, it just keeps getting erros on the display on the mobo: C1, d3, but cant find anything in my user's manual about erro code's?

only thing i can boot at besides all on standart is CPU 3200 and mem 1600mhz

thx m8

[saaya]

dMITIj, those are memory errors, what memory divider are you using?
try a lower one or play with the memory options, vdimm, dimm clock skew, memory timings etc

[dMITIj]

mem divider = 1:2, timings = 7,7,7,21, v1.8 @ BIOS, do you have any suggestion for vdimm, dimm clock skew, memory timings etc having bin playing with that before

[saaya]

hmmm 1:2 dividers?
what fsb are you running?
weird... 1:2 should work fine...
Could you post the detailled BIOS settings using the List i posted?
thanks man!
