I just flashed to the 0903 bios and found things to be more stable at 1:1 Ratio. My fsb can clock much much further now also.

I find 3:5 to be more stable as well.

Anybody got a link to 0903? Pm me if you dont mind///

Thanks for answering my question...

Both sticks (2 x 2GB) will be installed in the mobo, before my Vista Ultimate x64 OS install.

I guess i'll take some of the users advice here, and use the white slots... ??

I've not progressed to the stage yet where I am pushing memory settings, but I've read it actually affects RAM stability based on the slots you chose... Guess it's not meant to run serious OC on 8GB... Servers are meant for that action

[pazza316]

I am not experiencing this stablilty problem depending on slots.

With 4gb 4 X1gb I can do DDR 1150 + With two sticks in either colour slots I can easily do DDR 1200 +. These are afew hours Orthos memory and quad 32 mb pi stable.

DAMN!!!!!

How do i get my old bios back 0903 is horrible and I get a message stating that " I cant flash to my previous bios because they are older...or something like that."

Whatever you do please steer clear of 0903!!!

[pazza316]

0903 is working well here. To flash back use a flash drive and do it in EZ flash

[pazza316]

Sdumper which bios did you have previously and why do you think 0903 is so bad? Just out of interest.

That didn't work but probably because I'm on a early Bios and I haven't updated . Hopefully that changes when I get my flash drive today .

here's my voltages on NB and ram. I used vista x64 in this run. I'm using the white ram slots. this bios I'm using is 0903. I'm doing 3.6Ghz 12x301 mem ratio 3:5 with mem speed at 501mhz

Safan, Can you try to run 430x9 or higher and tell me what you get on those readings

my B3 can't run that high on the 9 multi.

aww, You should RMA it and get a G0

[safan80]

@Warboy, which part of MI you at? East Lansing here.

I will sell one kidney and 1/3 my liver if i could get a nice price for them....

Looking to play with some shiny new toys huh? Hope you have goodluck with that chip.

Sdumper which bios did you have previously and why do you think 0903 is so bad? Just out of interest.

I ran both 0802 and 0901 at 5175 ghz and benched at 5.088 proof attached

I finally got it working but the damn thing is very picky. Still when I use the bios EZ Flash I cant flash back to 0901.


All of that said the 266 Strap is finally working and I was finally able to get is stable at 4.8ghz at 1.63vCore used to take 1.62...go figure.

So maybe i need to flash from a floppy boot...
