    "New" Crosshair BIOS

    You can download it here

    Description:

    Crosshair BIOS release version 1103.
    1. Fix System fails to detect Optional fan 4# and 5#.
    2. Fix system might not get booted with AMD Semprom 2800+ CPU.
    3. Hidden virtualization Technilogy option when installed CPU does not support this feature.
    4. Fix it might fail to run certain AMD utilities under Microsoft Windows Vista OS with AMD AM2+ CPU installed.
    5. Fix system might fail to overclock when using AMD AM2+ CPU.
    6. Enhance compatibility with certain add-on RAID card.
    7. Fix LAN might fail to work after system resumes from S3 mode.
    8. Fix system might fail to resume from S3 mode when using AMD triple-core CPU.


    Fix number 5 is the most imortant one as you never knew when you actually overclocked it. Tempted to test my crosshair again as it's extremely mem tweakable

    It still doesn't say on the site if its compatible with the B3 cpu's so I haven't gone back to mine yet.
    Not much to say right now.

    I gotta warn you about this BIOS. I didn't test it with a Phenom, only with a 6000+, but voltage adjustment didn't take effect. If you decide to test it, make sure to re-enter the BIOS immediately after applying your settings the first time, and then check the voltage readouts in the hardware monitor. I was probably lucky not to crash my OS. The system failed to POST, and within minutes I got a checksum error and couldn't even enter the BIOS. I had to use an old floppy to flash to the 0502 BIOS. Again, I didn't use a Phenom, but I don't see why this severe bug would be CPU-dependant.

    Hi there Quintero. Haven't seen you around for som time.
    Thanks for the heads up. You tested the previous BIOS too? Between this one and the 0905. The voltage issue was the main problem about BIOS 0904 too, next to no mem functions that is

    No, I didn't test the previous BIOS, guess that one's buggy too. Right now I'm using 0804. I haven't been active in any forum lately, but I'm still lurking at diskusjon.no for sheer entertainment value
