**Official DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[Brother Esau]

nope, not opening AOD. CPU-Z is the first thing i open after boot and it shows the 133MHz HTT.


for the Phenom chips yes, i tried installing the Phenom driver, no change. still boots at 133MHz. with the 3200+ there was no CPU driver loaded.

i have borked a couple installs and have done fresh installs with both the 3200+ and the phenom chips with the same results. i just did a long battery out CMOS clear (3 hours) followed by a re-flash of the official December BIOS. i noticed this time that there was 'No Update' on the very first line of the flash during the write of the new BIOS...should there be? i am just using the .EXE and letting it write the floppy then do its thing automatically from boot.

also, as i was thinking if there was a way to see CPU frequency before windows i saw the new Memtest thread from Eva so popped it in and it too shows a CPU frequency in-line with 133MHz HTT except for after the first boot after a CMOS clear in which case it is running 200HTT. so it is being set in the BIOS and not some funky thing with Windows reading it wrong.

thanks for the help guys, obviously no one has seen this before but hopefully i can get it sorted without having to send the board back for a new one.

Well something is wrong with 12/11/07 and I told DFI in detail my thoughts on it when using Alpha release and why they made it publicly available I don't have a clue!

Also I want you to follow these instructions carefully please there is something wrong with the Bios and the way it Programs the Flash Chip and DFI has just now acknowledged this

Please do the following and this will be requiring 3 Bios Flashes don't question just do please

First off you will probably have to reinstall Windows get over it reality may just be that!

First off Download 11/07/07 Bios ....11/22/07 Bios.....1/30/08 Bios all Zip Packages Please

Clear cmos properly and Boot with DR DOS with only a PS2 Keyboard then insert 11/07/07 Bios and Type AUTEXEC.BAT ..let it Flash and do a proper clear cmos for 10 Minutes Boot set Date / Load Optimized Defaults save/exit ..........Let the DMI Data Pool Build ......see if you can get into Windows (I doubt it) due to Different SB600 Option Rom

Then repeat the Process with 11/22/07 Bios

And repeat once again with the 1/30/08 Bios Please

See if that straightens you're Arse out

Just so you know I program Bios Chips and I noticed that unless you start with the Initial Release 11/07/2007 on the actual EEprom Programmer It does not Program correctly if you just Erase the chip and program directly with 11/22/2007 Bios So from my Findings I program with the 11/07/2007 Bios on my Programmer and then just update Bios via Normal Motherboard Flash and it yields more satisfactory results.

This should not be the case! I should be able to take any .bin file off of the site and it should have all Bios code in it but it does not and I have erased re-programmed to and fro with this board and there is most definitely something going on with the way the Bios is being coded internally at DFI

ALSO.........What Operating System are you trying to use?

ALSO....If you really want to clear you're cmos Properly I recommend using a program called Kill Cmos it will clear that cmos like no other way! You can find it on Tmods CD or Google it!
