I still using bios 0210 on my board. Shall I go for beta 0902 or 0403?

System in sign.

[Martin.v.r]

get a new bios

[owikh84]

the latest bios 902 yields faster boot time & TurboV also loads faster!

[badatgames18]

what the?

2001 has xtreme tweak so i assume it was one of andreyang's 01 specific bios? what is this 1904 now? what was changed? still for 3d01 right? (alot of question marks lol)

[andressergio]

woot ? 1904 ???

wasnt 2001 ???

[Darknight]

another bios.

but now I'm making trouble.

Bios 2001 refers to a previous bios to tweak for 3dmark 01, or is the new bios in asus site bios is like 2011?

The changes that have bios 1904?

sry my english

So what bios should I use for 24/7 stability? I have new m4e board, just not install yet. Plan to do later today

[Hondacity]

1904, because of improved system stability

lol so obvious

[the_real_7]

Damn and I just updated to 2001 , here i go agagin trying to rember all those settings , i wish they would let you save bios settings to a flash drive , like this giga boards do

[badatgames18]

when someone flashes to this.. could you tell me if this has extreme tweak option? or is it a regular beta bios from asus... sort of getting confused with which bios is which

all i see on asus website is 2011 bios..

[deachus]

Yea, I here you on the bios settings. I am still writing settings down between bios flashes when I thought the point of the load profiles was to fix that. If you cant use it between different bioses then its only partialy helpful.

Flashes to what? 1904? 2001? I flashed to 2001 a few days ago and it has Extreme Tweak option. I then read in this thread today that Asus has Bios 2011 on their site for download. I went to support.asus.com and click to download Bios 2011 which is the latest dated 10-06-11. When you download the bios and unzip the file actually says 2001??? So is there really a 2011 bios because I can't find it????

Will test 1904 tonight when I get home.

thanks deachus..

i meant flashing to 1904.. and i thought 2011 was separate from 2001.. thanks for clarifying

I try to do some bench but just get "cpu over voltage error!" Hit F1 to run setup when I try to boot?

What have I missed to switch of or change in bios. I happend 1.5V+ on Vcore.

Thanks in advance!

i just load extreme profile.. but if you want to do it manually, turn off voltage montoring.. in the tweaking tab.. go to cpu behavior and there should be a setting for max power usage for cpu and an option to increase amps to cpu... put the first to on, the second put it up to as high as you can.. iirc.. it's like 1024.xx or something like that

there is also an option for cpu voltage near the vcore setting.. put that to enabled.

sorry i'm not on my computer right now

[GaBBa-Gandalf]

You have to set the CPU-Voltage at the "monitor for the voltage" to "ignore" !

[andressergio]

Maybe 1904 is official while 2001 is Beta? Asus don't seem to be very descriptive on the technical info with updates. "Improves stability" very helpful.

[the_real_7]

so far been trying this 2001 bios , so far stable as 1850 , i havent really been able to bring any voltages down . . passed 20 linx and 2 hours of prime like notha

[bro20000]

Just had a massive shock i rang about changing my b2 board for b3 board and they said i could swap it for a Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Intel Z68 no extra charge direct swap! Made up!

[badatgames18]

just tried flashing to 1904 and am getting "image outdated" it's not letting me flash to it from bios 2001
