Foxconn flaming blade gti which is the best bios?

[dmxdex2020]

The board came with P10 bios. Overclocking seems difficult on this board compared to my older boards, I heard these boards are good OCers but my board isnt overclocking that well. I was able to OC my core i7 920 d0 on an evga ages ago very well and achieved 4ghz with ease. But this board always crashes in windows.

Anyone?

Anyone - P10 is the best option. You cannot compare directly this board (an entry level board) with eVGA boards, especially from Classified series. However, with Flaming Blade GTI 4ghz should be easily achievable and likely there is a problem with some of the settings you use in the BIOS.

Would you be able to give me some of the bios settings to use?

Is it possible for the flaming blade gti to do SLI? because i hear it only does crossfire.

Something like that, but you should further tune them according to your exact i7 920 D0 and memory modules:

About SLI - Flaming Blade GTI has no SLI certificate. The next board in Quantum Force X58 series - Flaming Blade - has SLI.

[dmxdex2020]

Isnt their a beta bios to enable sli?

[therager]

No. The only way is a SLI patch, check these threads:

i do know the full bios will go on the gti
and it will work, but can not remember what does not work
you have to force it to install

[therager]

Second LAN and eSATA controllers for sure.

ps. A great idea to use Flaming Blade bios .
