Maximus Extreme - Results/Info/Bios

[OBR]

but did it install without problems? the ME1001 i mean..?

yeah, thru bios EZ flash from USB flash ... everything OK.

[Smooth]

Flashing 1001 was no Prob @ all.
But I did not find any improvement either.

[camouflage]

Man, 0904,0905,1001.........each 2 weeks a new BIOS, what up with the ASUS guys?

Can't even flash that fast..............

[metro.cl]

With 904 i saw the same divider issues that i had with 903.

not sure what Asus is improoving with this bioses

[pakko]

Flashed 1001.. liiiittle lower temps and... before with 904 @ default was 3005 mhz, now 2999 mhz.. i know it's stupid but i hate it

[Stelios]

With 1001 my board gained about 15Mhz FSB . With bios 905 i couldn't run 530 , but now i'm at 545Mhz

[metro.cl]

which CPU?

[metro.cl]

Flashed 1001, so far CPU temp is bad, i'm on a stock QX9650 with a room temp of 25ºC and BIOS shows 18ºC.

[Stelios]

which CPU?

E8500 Retail .

[camouflage]

0905 also reads wrong temps - on 1001 EZ flash does not work...

Think it's time for the ASUS guys to develop a working BIOS.....

[sdumper]

So whats the verdict on 1001 and quad cores anyone tried it yet and does it help in the FSB arena for quads?

[sdumper]

Sorry for the double post but I as it turns out I am stumped...

Whats the trick to get 4gb of ram to overclock as well as 2gb?
I can run any 2 sticks fine at 1800 (8-7-6-12 1t) and vDimm = 1.90 (1.96 real) but when I run 4 sticks it wont pass memtest at anything higher than 1700 (8-8-8-20 2t).

Is it something in my vdimm ref settings on the channel basis?
Perhaps I need more vFSB when I am running more ram...

Any of you guys running 4gbs at high overclocks and 1t without any issues if so can you point me in the right direction?

[Smooth]

You need to raise the Vnb also ... but I don´t get 4GB running on 1T either - so I got the command line on 2T.

[Z3R0-CooL]

yeah.. had the same problem. raised NB volts to 1.65 in BIOS(1.67-1.68 real) and VDimm to 1.88 in BIOS (1.9x in real).. passed memtest 5 passes (2 hours).. seems stable to far....

forget 1T with 4 sticks

[sdumper]

Thats just it i dont want to forget 1t and i dont want to settle for anything lower than 7-7-7-14 1t and 1800mhz.

Regarding nb thats not the trick.

Has anyone tried the vdimm ref? I had better results but not my target yet..

[Z3R0-CooL]

with 4 sticks ur simply dreaming... u wont get it to run @ 1T period..

Vnb did the trick for me and running stable now with 4 sticks.

At the end does somebody understand wich is the best bios for this motherboard?
0702, 0904, 0905 or 1001?

Sure - maybe 1007 release in a few month..........

(All previous are buggy - some more, some less )

[sargatanas]

Sure - maybe 1007 release in a few month..........

u mean in a few days

[Stelios]

I was trying to reach some nice fsb with my board . Still max fsb was stuck at 550Mhz (memtest dos ) . I couldn't make it work even at 555 .
So ... disabled usb from bios , and made it up to 570 FSB . Not so stable , but at 565 it could run many loops in memtest .

I think the bios needs more work for high fsb .

Please try to reproduce this .

TY.

Ok, now im sooo frustrated! I AM SO MAD dammit.......

please someone , WHY arent Ezflash working..it JUST wont , it just hangs everytime i enter it, and i have to reset, every single ty time.......dont get it really dont, windows and ALL windows finds my usb with no prob, format copy whatever it just works so well, but in dos or bios, it doesnt exist....AND I know it works, couse i have used it several times with this board, and suddenly it wont freakin work anymore, Nomather wHAT im freakin out here! WHY... i cant flash the stupid ass board, do i have to burn a CD WITH afudos every single time? this is , and im so tired 2,30AM and ive been sitting with this crap and gets more and more annoyed, WHY ARE THEY MAKING such stupid thing if it aint working!!!!!!
zzzzzz

bye

[GLENBOY]

hiya infa its good to let off a bit of steam why don't you use an older asus update i'm using Asusupdt61002 ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/fl...sUpdt61002.zip which all you have to do is go into options and select bios downgradable and you can go back to previous bioses even if older , , used it with the maximus no problem only thing is make sure your windows is stable when flashing in windows

Haha, buy some Vodka - might help You a lot . Last working EZ flash was on 0904, all later versions = no go. But You only have to flash in WIN with ASUS UPDATE the same version You are running - during flash kill Your system with a reset. This board has a crash free BIOS - all You have to do after that is to insert Your ASUS DVD and system will automaticly flash BIOS from the DVD. After that You can flash any later version You like. Tried it myself - working perfectly .

[pakko]

I flashed my card with 1001 and ez flash.. than i went back to 702 with asus update =/

[Infa]

Hmm, ok im still tired couse i did only sleep 3hrs... and i want to know how to do when i get home, i am going to smash that POS if it makes any trouble when i get home....

So Asus update works? and dont kill the board as ive read all over places?

Can i use an earlier Asus update as mentioned above, and it will work?

the problem i have arent that i cant backflash, its that i cant flash it at all..
if EZflash wont work, and bios wont find my USB stick, in lost, only way are to burn a cd with afudos and latest bios.... but i will try Asus update when i get home.....
