I am Dan-Baer there. Good to see you again. This appears to be a lively thread populated by knowledgeable folks.
So here I am waiting for UPS to bring my Commando.

[Supertim0r]

is it possible for someone to post or host the bios 0702 ?

Thanks

[Alexandrus]

Apparently not, we've been asking for the last 2 days and no BIOS for us yet

[Supertim0r]

Hi everyone,

I also ordered one from ewiz and an e6600..

What memory would you guys recomend ?

I'm thinking one of these 2 choices:

Gskill http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231075

or Crucial

I plan on getting a 750w PC P&C psu also..

Thanks for the advice..

Regards,
Jose

Hello guys,

What's your best with "standard" cooling, I mean the standard chipset heatsink, a good sink and fan on the CPU and a correct airflow (case open)?

I manage to raise the FSB to 450/460 MHz with all voltages set to auto... and I can't even post at 500 with voltage increase.

I also have a really strange problem overclocking with Vista, but it's off topic. When I get to around 3.6 GHz, my Vista ask me to activate, it won't longer work... and if I raise the CPU voltage, I can post, but I have an error message from Windows Defender. I have the same pb with two (similar) boards, the P5B DX and the Commando and two (similar ?) CPUs, E6400 and Q6600 (both ES). If I slow my CPU a bit, let's say 3.4 GHz, everything works just fine (no need to reinstall Vista).

See you,

Thomas

Deam I order comando and with P5B DX I do 470MHz FSB with Q6600, so it is posible that comando cant do the same

my quad is stuck @ 395ish fsb with the 0601 bios

That's where i'm stuck as well... Any insight from those that were able to get past 400fsb on this board with quads?

[Supertim0r]

if someone could share the 0702 bios...

Here is my reworked Commando

The board has been reworked for GTLREF control.

Finding the correct spots was really easy it took less than 10 minutes.
The wiring job was pain in the ass so I decided to use a piece of pcb to put them in a better order

Sorry for the mess and the sh*tty soldering job.

[krampak]

And the previous results vs news results are... ? Nice job there... I wouldn't do it

Hi guys, I just got my Commando up and running last night. However, I noticed that when I launched a 3D app there was a high-pitch buzzing/screeching sound and what whenever I alt+tab'ed out it went away. At first I attributed it to my 8800GTX, however, I later tried to OC my CPU from 266FSB to 300FSB and immediately noticed the buzzing sound had returned, regardless of what I was doing - even in BIOS. I've since unplugged my 8800GTX, put in an old Radeon7000-PCI card and noticed the noise when OCing. Also, when I start to run Orthos the noise intensity picks up and get incredibly more noticeable (at either stock or higher).

I've got a SeaSonic S12 650W PSU, and I didn't have this problem with either an M32N-SLI or Striker mobo.

So is my board bad?

This evening I'm going to swap my PSU and try my old 600W PSU and see if anything changes.... although I doubt it will.

Thanks!

I noticed the same sound from my p5b-deluxe and Commando. (Although less intense on the commando) I just assumed it was normal since they were inherent on both boards...

I'm running an 8800gtx & a pcp&c 1kw psu if that helps.

[krampak]

I forgot to mention that, this Asus Commando has a several buzzing problem ! I thought It was my Ultra X-Pro 750W but I switched it to a Silverstone ST85ZF and buzzing sounds were still there !

It needs to be fixed, and that can't be fixed with a new bios...


PD: I was also using a 8800GTX.

[uOpt]

The buzzing sound comes from insufficient power filtering, aka too small capacitors.

[Borgod]

ffs i HATE buzzing

With my buzzing silverstone Zeus 750w PSU and this motherboard ill be attracting bees to my place

if someone could share the 0702 bios...

I see in another topic you already have the 0702 BIOS, would you mind sharing ?

DS3 were buzzers as well weren't they hehe

[Antioch]

Damn it. I wish someone in this thread mentioned how much this board buzzed before I bought it. Ugh. This buzzing is not acceptable at all.

Just checking before I return the board for a P5B-Dlx - the buzzing is present on all Commandos?

Are you sure it's not the GTX? Mine seems to buzz whenever it switches over to full 3d, but before the fan ramps up. I can't really hear it now that I have a case. I'll be getting Commando on Monday. I'll see if it buzzes or not.
