Hi, no Asus motherboards with heatpipes have ever had anything other than air in them. I guess that's the way Asus designed them..

Why would you think that?

I had to install an old Ghost backup of XP 32 bit and ran Asusupdate, with BIOS step back enable, also you don't have to download the files through asus update to update the BIOS. Download the files in advance and use the file update instead, I think people are running in to problems more when they use a download through the updater and not off the original FTP or Web site.

There is no way to get 400Strap working. I put voltages to my personal max and no of the 400strap deviders can boot at all. Strap set to "Auto" makes no changes

If you're using the E6750, you dont need 40 strap to get 5:6. You can get 5:6 in Auto strap or 333 maunal (under v0903, manual strap under 901/902).

Guys,

im seriously thinking of removing the rubber caps covering the NB and just let the fan blow inside... thought of that because some air will get inside the pipes for sure and cool down a bit... lolol even if dust gets inside u can always celan it with a air-spray clener lololololol

This can work and I did something like this in the past for another project. This is liek a natural convection stove pipe method. If the pipes to the barbs in and out are copper, one end will heat, creating high preasure, and if the other end is outside the case (near cool floor or hanging outside cold window) the cold air will create low preasure and in turn makes a natural convection of cold air moving in to NB barbs and sucked out hot end (area heated by NB chipset). You can also try just a funneled breather into one barb, in-line w/ case intake fan, and out-take pipe towards rear fan.

This actually can work and is better with a pump/fan as I did this for my Chevy 454 with a smog pump to pump air through block since I did not need smog unit. Th cooled air from outside cooled through ported heads.

Just something to play round with and try. As for dust, not that hard to check up on it and blow out with compressed air can.

Did you ever try the old BIOS recovery from ASUS CD? I'm just curious if anybody used this methed yet or if it is even available for these new mobos.

Yes I can, but that`s always a few mhz less. And yesterday sb. in the thread from forumdeluxx postet his settings with the same ram for 1200 at 450x8 (400strap) and they aren`t stable for my system. Then I tried moderate instead of strong and transaction booster enabled, disabled ect. but somethin is ing ty with my config

I also changed to white slots yesterday with absolutly no changes.

Also 333strap 1200mhz 500x7 is working with NB 1,29V, VFSB 1,38V and ram 2,14V and 1200mhz 450x8 400strap isnt`working with NB1,49V VFSB 1,40V and ram 2,14V or 2,20V, too. BSOD at boot or errors in memtest or OCCT after a few minutes.
Strap to auto tested without any changes. CPU tested with ram to 900mhz strap auto and the cpu runs OCCT 30min without an error with NB @ 1,35V. I don`t understand, why I need that much more voltage on my NB for same ram frequency and even slower strap!?
That`s crazy.

where is the bios step back option? i installed asus update and i tried to flash back to 602 but it didnt let me and i didnt see any bios step back option.

edit: never mind, i didnt realize there was an "options" selection. also, is it safe to flash the bios from within windows using asus update?

Why would you think that?

This is getting confusing, and close to nonsense. They should be called water pipes and thats it.... these are no heat pipes at all, and there´s no gas or ever been inside them.


voi la lololol
