"Increased maximum for Host Burn-In percentage to 50%"

That means FSB up to 500FSB from bios

[vapb400]

HOLY CRAP

there is the changelog

[Direwolf]

someone try them out and get back with the details please, thanks also

[Silver Bullet]

lucky people with your Intel boards and your ES processors

[alucasa]

You gotta admit that Intel is sticking with this board quite well. I thought they never loved their own motherboards as I've been them ditch new models so quickly.

[freecableguy]

"Removed CPU Core Multiplexing Technology BIOS Setup Option from Main Page" is the most interesting change...

EDIT: Played with these last night. No real big change. Added FSB OC% doesn't increase the boards OC ability, just allows you to get the BSOD straight from Windows boot. lol

Rich people*

[Thorburn]

Been using this for a few days, didn't see a great big change although the 50% burn in can be handy.

I'm certainly not rich, just lucky

[Aganerral]

Sounds like they might have oopses on the prior BIOS rev in letting hte Core multiplexing option appear. that, or they didn't want ot give answers to all the questions it caused

What's the new HPET option that they unhid do?

Whoo just intime for my new adtional Conroe Es that came today on my new bad axe

[Freez]

This board seems more and more appealing.

[Thorburn]

It is a good solid board.
It may not have the ultimate overclocking potential of perhaps the DFI but for the average overclocker its good enough.

[uOpt]

This is sent from heaven for us FreeBSD wheenies who need to get the FSB up. Who-hoo.

[veryhumid]

I'm a little confused. I thought intel boards never had overclocking options?

[Esparco]

i did the OC DEBUG MOD and its working great i changed the fsb override to 1066 but when i turn off the computer and start a cold boot the fsb going back to 800 but in the bios its still on 1066.. its wierd becouse in cpu-z its show 800 and in the bios its shows 1067.. every cold boot i need to enter the bios and re-enter the fsb to 1066 for it to work.. even if it not changed at all...
plz som1 i'm going crazy

sorry for the crapy english i'm hebrew man hehe

google for the bad axe, it has its fair share

(now fsb up to 450mhz (although done by percentage)
vcore to 1.6
vdimm to 2.2

i think

[Nilix]

since 1304 i can´t change anything in the "default settings override" menu!?

after downgrade to 1181 i can change fsb etc.

What´s wrong?

[Pied]

Rich people*

i'm not rich

if the intel board becomes a lot better, i may end up getting it instead of waiting longer

[easyrider]

so will 4ghz be obtainable with this mobo on a E6600?

Thats what I ideally want?

[Supertim0r]

just received the puro notice, conroe arrived !!!

Try clearing the CMOS via jumper after flashing, it should work wonders

[doc6886]

please explain?

Some people were given free ES (engineering sample) CPUs and Bad Axes by Intel... others paid a lot of money to get these ES products.
