wonder when they will add phenom IIs to the support list. probably after they are released, i just hope they support the am3 ones someday.

i wonder if bios 1406 will fix my abnormally long load time when i start windows...

seems like it sites at the windows xp logo longer than normal.

anybody else have this problem?

try using some programs to get faster startup. like bootvis and running msconfig and turning off w/e you don't need. taking off norton took like 20 seconds off my boot time now its pretty much instant.

[tbone8ty]

yeah i ran msconfig and unchecked a bunch...

im running avast so i think thats one of the reasons its slow

but its not as bad as it was.

[roofsniper]

have you tried bootvis before? the change from that program is insane. even when i felt my system startup was fully optimized it made it so i never see the windows welcome screen and shaved a large amount of time off of startup.

1406 bios. best one ever for me.

1406 bios. best one ever for me.

Same here. I am able to underclock(volts) my CPU with this bios. bewfore needed 1.55 volts in vista to be stable at 3.4... now I have it set on 1.5...Same if I leave everything stock just need 1.25 volts for CPU

hmmmm sounds good i guess ill upgrade to it.

[HondaGuy]

Bios 1406...NB@2600 with 1.5 volts... CPU volts in BIOS@1.5, CPUZ saying 1.488

[SkullCracka]

dont know if cpu-z is reading low or if its right. but i have allways notice the .02 lower volts in cpu-z then whats is set in bios.

but ya ive noticed something else slightly lowert emps at the same volts and ya can lower it about .05 an it still boot and be stable. see even lower temps then.

what i do is set it .025 higher then i want it.

[tbone8ty]

just upgraded to 1406....what does cpu prefetching mean? comes enabled by default


whoa i really like the new 1406 bios! when i set HT link multi in bios, it actually changes it now when i check in cpuz!!! :-)

seems more stable also

Prefetching: Google it...If I understood correctly it is a way to make the processor more efficient. It takes advantage of the unused bus cycles to allow the processor to increase its overall output.

Sweet clocks and nice run on Vista.. I jus tinstalled Vista32bit over the weekend and am finnaly @ 3.52mhz.. thats max for my Phenom...Vista was a little harder to tweak for the same clocks i had with XP32Sp3.

Now i just need to tweak my GTX260/216..So far my old 3970x2 runs 1000points higher @ 17700 vs GTX260 @ 16699..I just need to clock it and tweak the nvidia cpanel i guess..

Besides that nice
getting that CPU score up there

P.s. That watercooling working nice for ya eH
That MVP is working sweet i see.

Trying to get that CPU up there without having to upgrade the mobo..lol...The BIOS for the board 1406, WOW, alot better and more stable at the higher clocks. Just waiting for my 2nd Sapphire HD 4850 to show up, then just might loop them.......And YES the water setup is working just fine,load temps most of the time are 50-53@1.55v. Thanks for your info back then...Need anything for your help again?
Gotta be something new out there..hehe
Just going to hold out for the new Phenom II and install it on this board..

CPU, NB, RAM freqs please.

[roofsniper]

so what are people's experiences with enabling C1E support? im not sure if it does anything for me.

[HondaGuy]

I have mine Disabled but I have the CPU prefetching Enabled

[roofsniper]

sigh just installed the new ati driver and once again nothing. i don't think i am doing anything wrong but i have never once had a driver improve my performance. i have seen 3d mark only go up with new cards.

[HondaGuy]

1406 BIOS stable at 3.3 in Vista 64.. Thanks to gOtVotage runs nice and cool

[tbone8ty]
