Bios 0602 for CRV : http://www.share-online.biz/dl/15R3JHQL8N0
Please: The Bios must be renamed : CrosshairV-Formula-ASUS-0602.ROM

Where did this BIOS come from?

[ahriman]

OK, you may have seen this one coming: now that I am stable-ish, I want to know why. Why did raising the NB/CPU, DRAM and the two DRAM Timing Control settings stabilize me?

If this is not the appropriate place to post this question let me know where and I will move it on over...thanx

Disable Wait F1 in Boot section of BIOS

still getting the F1 screen even after setting it to PWM fan, I was hoping Disabling F1 Wait wasn't my only option, If some other error arises I would like to be aware of it :/

New BIOS 0705 is on the ftp site now for the M5A99X (and other M5A boards). No changelog yet and still won't allow me to unlock my 720BE (says CPU not supported but unlocked on a M4A79 board OK).

Got my replacement new CFV yesterday after first board was DOA , Tried Bios 0602 but language is other than English & it shows message on post how many cores have been unlocked , using bios 0051 bios with XII 550 Be unlocked to X4 at 3.8Ghz , NB @ 2.6 Ghz.

I tried to flash this morning, but EZ Flash told me "not an EFI BIOS". Will retry in the evening.
Your news is saddening, I hoped for stable unlock.

Changelog now posted and it just says "Support new CPUs". What happened to "improve core unlock stability" mentioned elsewhere with he later releases of the Crosshair BIOS. Looks like the new AGESA code that is aimed at Bulldozer (according to Raja) might not be fixed to allow unlocking for the older processors.

Edit - I want to apologize for my previous opinions, expressed to early. Cores unlocked successfully, it is stable now. Thanks! I will work on overclocking the beast now.

when's the next official bios release for the Crosshair V?
I hope there's more added stability so I can hit 4ghz stable on my P2 x6

[Isbre]

After updating to beta 51 with S3 on Crosshair V, i can't get in to EZ Flash utility anymore. Screen just goes black. I tried resetting bios to default also to no effect.

[Isbre]

So i flashed 0602 bios trough windows with asus update which went ok luckily. Still just a blank black screen when i enter EZ utility with 0602.

Is 0602 official or still just beta?

0038 is my favorite BIOS

This is the best I can manage so far with 0051 Beta bios , pushing any further is like hitting a wall



Also pretty happy about idle cpu voltage & speed , but have to manually change EPU setting between Power saving & High performance as Auto mode doesnt lower cpu clock speed & voltage. C&Q & C1E are enabled in bios.

Looks like pretty decent gains for an unlocked 550

Can someone here tell me what is the max amps that the fan connectors on the board would run safely at? Can I run 2/3 fans off off a single Fan channel?

0038 is my favorite BIOS

I'm on 0038 myself and like it. I'm probably going to stick with it until BD hits. Then I'll use whatever is most current.

Any body likes to try 0705 beta bios for CVF : http://www.2shared.com/file/rhWbb0ka...ASUS-0705.html

got it from : http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showth...705-Bios/page4

Have updated to 0705 , was able to push my PII X4 B55 to 3.900mhz @ 1.5V which with 0052 Beta bios would not be stable at 3.900Mhz even with 1.54V. Have not changed any other settings on mother board.

I think approx 1 amp per header, so stay within that.

Thanks Raja....

Any news about ASUS Sabertooth 990FX BIOSes?
I'm waiting for a new version especially because there is no way, with current 0402 version, to avoid the CPU fan error message at startup, if no fans are connected to CPU_FAN / CPU_OPT headers (as in liquid cooled systems or if, as in my case, I want to control my four 3-pin fans so I have to connect them to system/chassis headers).

[devguy]

I'd like to report that the latest BIOS for the M5A97 EVO has fixed the extremely high cpu temperatures while navigating around in the ASUS EFI menu. I guess the initial release was just loading all cores while in there, and now it is idling.

Haven't noticed any other differences, but I don't have an FX CPU, which is where I'm guessing most of the effort was put.

Im considering buying the Sabertooth, but seeing the LACK of bios support from Asus, is making me think I should look to other manufacturer......
