Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

Are any of you fellas in Gigabyte land have any news on AMD / Source Code Bios Update in Progress?

I keep waiting and waiting on DFI for next official but it aint come to pass and the 12/11/07 is actually a Beta and it sucks! The only thing I can gather on this is that everybody is waiting on AMD

@Ausse FX:

Now we have F3 FINAL BIOS, it's much different to F3A/B/C
No sign of F4A... Probably Bingo couldn't post it here...

@Brother Esau:
Look above
No one got a chance to test F4A BIOS and for that reason no one tested new microcode from AMD

I saw it above when I posted earlier but just wondering if this is perhaps what all of us are waiting on which is source Code Update from AMD /Award.....I hope ...I hope

Thanks Lightman, I have just flashed F3 final.

I tried to run cpuz (1.43) and I'm getting everything greyed out on the memory tab, it's completely blank. Are you getting this?

The SPD tab is reporting ok as are all other tabs, why the memory tab isn't reporting has me nonplussed.
It's nice to have the 1066 option in bios.

Well, most likely Im missing something. I tried adding Volts for NB and the HTT receive and transmit things, lowering multi etc but no go in high HTT's.

Also I still dont know whether Im missing something or not with OC'ing 4x 1GB as it's quite a disaster. Also, when I press ctrl + F1 in BIOS, the extra options, are they worth anything? What exactly do they do?

I will post up F4B tomorrow, F4A was too funky... Also, has anyone hit 3.2 yet with a 9600BE?

If I run Vista it's same for me. XP x64 and MCE = no problems with detecting values in CPU-z

I like this BIOS. Not perfect but a solid one

IIRC K8 was ok with Vista and Cpu-z.

I was having a play last night and was hitting 1100mhz with 1.9v with my ram. AMD really have done a fantastic job with this memory controller, all we need now is for it to run at cpu speeds.

@ Bingo looking forward to a new bios, thanks.
