I am about to try it...lets see if the temp bug is still there

I am about to try it...lets see if the temp bug is still there

temp on Uguru is very close to realtemp 2.1 readout....realtemp is based on a 10C lower TjMax...

[pross]

well my q6600 g0 shows 57C in bios/uguru and 37C in realtemp so its a nitemare for fan control lol...

full load realtemp 47-50C everest shows 69 for the CPU and 57C for the cores...

are you using real temp 2.1 version?

my uguru and real temp 2.1 are fairly close when benching with wPrime 1024M bench

also, i was able to shave one notch off the vcore and the test was still completed successfully.

Well I also updated to Beta 16.B10 and seem to have a problem. System steps thro until it shows a "52" on the internal display and I just have the big truck on the screen. Can't get to the Bios setup to raise voltages, etc.

Sometimes with the previous bios I had it freeze for a minute or two on boot, at the same point, but that problem had gone away. Now it's back and currently it's a LOT longer than 2 minutes...

[pross]

realtemp 2.1 yes

Is someone can tell me that MCHBAR always locked or not with last beta bios?

[Ace-a-Rue]

let me install...i'll let you know very soon.

it is locked with 16.B10

Finally got it to boot. Had to remove two sticks of RAM, and then could boot up to the point where I could get into BIOS Setup. Then set everything (voltages and memory timings) as previous setup (I had previously needed to set all timings, etc. to get it to work with 8GB of RAM - wouldn't work with SPD timings).

Then reinstalled RAM (so M$ wouldn't start thinking I was changing too many things with my Vista...)

Now it works, but I have that damn "Pause" back at step "52" in the boot sequence that lasts for a minute or two. The screen has just started to display Memory Test in the early part of the on screen bios display (when the truck display is disabled)

[Cpl Ledanek]

your vcore is to high for stock speed...try setting it around 1.15 actual vcore.

thanks Ace

[sean_php]

Where can I download AWDFLASH for IP35 pro?

[FELIX]

it is locked with 16.B10

...thank; hope that Abit fix it in a future bios.

[Ace-a-Rue]

SO FAR, i like this new beta bios...i am up to 4140 mhz with just a moderate increase in vcore...mind you this is not prime 95 tested; instead, i use wPrime 1024M stability bench...if it passes that test, i am a happy camper

i increased the vcore by 0.05v to go from 445 to 460 FSB (9X)...memory is set to 1:1 using only GSkill DDR800 2 x 2 gb sticks in vista64.

core temps were reasonable under Uguru...it topped out at 55C...real temp 2.1 had 2-3C higher in one of the four cores.

what i like about this bios and vista64...i can get about the same completion (performance) time at 4140 mhz as i got on the DFI LT X38 mobo at 4400 mhz in XP SP2...both boards were just about equal in performance with the 1st Qx9650 that i had installed using XP SP2 operating system.

no benefit for Q6600 users with this new bios?

[dstedman]

I'm interested in seeing if there is any benefit for my quad as well. Also, it would be nice if they fixed the CPU fan voltage bug...

[Ace-a-Rue]

describe your cpu fan voltage bug.

make sure you have "Quick Power On Self Test" ENABLED...that feature is located in "Advanced BIOS Features"...it sounds like your setup is testing all your 8 gig's of memory which will take time.

also, what are your set memory timings...SPD will not work with 8 gig's of memory especially if one stick is inferior in quality and performance...that is all it takes to upset the apple cart.

Been agonizing about a mobo for my e2160 that I plan to take to 3ghz or so. Is this a great choice...how about its little brother or the DFI Blood Iron?
Thanks

[Ace-a-Rue]

best bang for the buck...Uguru software and chip is unsurpassed!

[shaolin95]

That goes for both the Pro and regular or just the Pro?
How about the sound card...good for HTPC like the Asus ones or not quite?
Thanks :-)

[Budwise]

how is the Vdroop with that QX Ace? Have you done the mod?

[Cpl Ledanek]

hey guys, is there a proven OCZ memory for this board, doesn't have to be uber-fast. Just stable.
I'm contemplating of replacing my RAM (see sig) coz current ram will probably not fit once I get the OCZ RAM cooler.

as always advance thanks

the pro board is the one that has Uguru.

not sure about the High Definition sound...i use standard AC97

[Ace-a-Rue]

still getting typical 0.04 to 0.05 droop...droop is less if the actual vcore is lower, like 0.03v droop if i use vcore around 1.31...as you scale upwards in vcore, the droop increases since the power need is increasing...this is part of intel's spec design so the processor would not get spiked with overvoltage...remember, intel does not officially sanction overclocking but certainly FUGGER put a show on displaying how good of overclock he could attain at Intel's headquarters!
