    First BIOS Update for Asus 680i, P5N32-E SLI.

    ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...20SLI/0302.zip

    1.47v that sucks bigtime my chip would only do about 3.3 at that voltage.

    I'm using 1.6v on my NB but I'm not trying really high FSB though I'm guessing more voltage is really necessary with high FSB?


    Off Topic

    Ya I bought that nintendo wii from some kid, I'm 34 yrs old and I just had to see what the hype was about, after screwing with the wireless to get on the internet and finding out their WPA2 doesn't use all proper paraphrase characters I had to turn off all encryption change the channel on my wireless to get online, 3-4 hours of fooling with it I was prepared the next day to put it back in the box and sell it (before even trying 1 game on it)

    Wife tried these new motion controllers with Bowling and Boxing, long story short she has sore muscles from boxing for 2 hrs straight. Worth it to keep it just to see her having fun with it. Ya graphics are very childlike with people no arms and no legs and cartoon looking things. I am very surprised though at how good the composite video looks, trying to find component but those cables are nowhere and people trying to sell for stupid amounts on ebay.

    Over at AnandTech there's a P5N32-E SLI user that flashed 0302 with EZ-Flash and at least he's now running Orthos!

    I dont know... maybe your not suppose to update from windows with this board...

    I dont know. I've updated nearly every board I've had in the last 3-4 years in windows and this is the only problem I have ever had.

    I did try the crash free bios, that was the first thing I tried...
    but its useless.
    if the board can't post, it cant do anything.
    so I really reallllllllllllllly wish I could someone in the head that works at Asus and ask them what the hell are they thinking??
    how the hell are people suppose to use it... if the board cant do anything??

    I feel like something just pulled my heart out really really slowly.
    today was such a damn good day too, cause I broke 4.67 ghz with my E6400 setting a record for that CPU... then I was excited to finally have a new BIOS for the 680i... I been checking 2-3 times a day.
    then to have the board just die...
    that is just mean.
    to have so much luck in the morning, then in the afternoon have it all ripped away from you.

    I am feeling kinda burnt out now.
    I am just gonna go sit down, eat alittle and watch the simpsons.
    I need to chill out, cause this board being down is really getting to me.

    Given everything you produced in the last 24 hours that sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the "411" on the Asus board.

    Did you experience any of the sound issues reported with the Foxconn reference 680i boards?

    Another instance of a bad flash has popped up on the ASUS forums. Apparently, it's an issue with flashing within Windows.

    latest version of winflash is needed on newer boards, reason for this is the some of the older versions don't reset all areas of the bios. The new version of winflash is up on the dfi site for the 975xg..

    It has way more reset options, though DFI tell you which to use. DFI had the Asus problem too a few months back, but the newer winflash helped solve bad flashes from xp.

    Ofcourse if you're already on that version then I'm stumped...

    this may or may not help but recently i had a flash go bad on a Foxconn 975X7AB. turns out the solution was ridiculasly easy. the onboard SPi saves a safe boot profile on it so all i had to do was pull the BIOS chip.

    with the BIOS chip out, the system got POST off the SPi chip and allowed me to esentially hot flash the corrupt BIOS chip.

    not sure if the P5N32-E has anything like that but perhaps that is how you can boot the system to get to the recovery CD. then drop the BIOS chip back in and flash a good BIOS ROM to it. i doubt this is of any help but you never know what these new motherboards are capable of. HTH

    Sorry to hear about this, Kunaak. Perhaps Asus can send you a new bios chip.

    it works... it posted.

    what worked?
    I dont know...

    all I did, was remove the bios chip and battery for a hour.
    put it back together, and it worked.

    with NO HELP from Asus might I add.
    no help on thier forums, no reply to my email, no tech support nothing.

    completly and totally ignored me.
    they make a decent board, but they sure treat people like garbage.
