Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600K / Biostar TP67XE

I was able to recover from the 99,7 bug on my TP67XE by flashing new BIOS, poping off the battery and clr CMOS for a few minutes.

Just about to ask you bout it

I'll try the battery thing today

me too

Well thanks namegt for BIOS 126. I'm liking this board alot, simple yet powerful.

I'm sorry if we all kind of hi jack this thread but it's the only one going on about this board.

Thaks everyone else too. I am stuck without a 1155/1156 bracket for my TRUE till next week so all I have is the stock cooler for now. I got 4400mhz but can't play to much till I get my TRUE on there

I have one over here http://www.overclock.net/intel-mothe...-thread-w.html

This thread here is for the extreme guys and I think we should just let them have their fun here and us mere mortals can get some valuable nuggets of information here and there on this thread. I just try and stay out of their way.

Thank you. Good information

To get BCLK un-stuck from 99.7 ?

Is it:

1. Flash new (which?) BIOS
2. Remove battery
3. Be happy

Is this method working 100% for people, or as suspected is there damage done to the eeprom?

**Alex-Ro** · 02-07-2011, 08:31 AM

Good mobo,but needs a bios as soon as possible.My issues:

Cannot run CAS6 stable
i get huge voltage spikes,like 0.1 from idle to load
Random shut downs,for example even at stock volts and frequency,randomly it shuts down for 2 second then comes up alive...

Sometimes forgets profiles and they are all erased and you need to save them again...

Otherwise good mobo,simple and efficient.

Oh and i forgot to say,that UEFI layout is awfull,there is a tiny space for selecting options and rest of the page is emty...

omg DUMO! THat rules! cant wait till you get the ud7 in. Chew give him some tips on the ud7. hes got a really good cpu.

Also, ability to lower BCLK below 100, and lower CPU PLL lower than 1.700 would be wonderful.

I have recovered twice. Flash 126 BIOS, pop off battery, set jumper to clr cmos and wait a few minutes. After that, bclock works again and I flash back to BIOS 118 because it runs tighter memory and I dont like the UEFI.

I agree, we need a BIOS capable of bclock lower than 100. Loadline also could use some tunning, we need something between enable and disable.

There are some things to be improved, but the board is a great clocker!

Thanks for the info on recovering BCLK.

Agreed on the LoadLine tuning. Here's what it says in the BIOS manual on the CD (ENUTP67XE.pdf) on page 27 it says this:

CPU VCore LoadLine
This item sets VCore LoadLine.
Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled / 87.5% LoadLine / 75.0% LoadLine /
62.5% LoadLine / 50.0% LoadLine / 37.5% LoadLine / 25.0% LoadLine
/ 12.5% LoadLine

So it appears to me they have it planned, but not implemented yet.

Another BIOS bug I found tonight. Someone may have pointed this out already, if so please ignore.

BIOS 1/26, with DIMMs in slots 1 & 3 or 2 & 4, the Command Rate setting for memory is ignored and set to 1T. This issue does not exist in BIOS version 1/18.

**ugotd8** · 02-17-2011, 02:39 PM

Anyone seen any new BIOS later than 126 or 128 ? Did Biostar stop development during the recall ?

**Alex-Ro** · 02-20-2011, 06:32 AM

Bump,same inquiry as ugotd8

Please what batch on this madness

**Alex-Ro** · 02-28-2011, 05:55 AM

Nice job

Still no new bios for this beauty

?

**glen** · 03-02-2011, 03:49 AM

Looks like the new B3 boards BL+ boards are available, do these have the same power reg as the XE ?

**ninong** · 03-31-2011, 06:44 PM

i'm about to get the b3 version of this one. it's really cheap from where i'm from around $137, cheaper than an asrock p67 pro3. hope i not gonna regret this

**namegt** · 03-31-2011, 10:27 PM

batch : CostaRica 3102c389

The new BIOS will come out in a week.
Wait a little.
B3 version of the new quick test here
