Hey Folks...
I've started playing with Bios Verisons on the K9A2. Version 1.4 is very solid, and the fact that it doesn't have NB/IMC Multis is not that big a deal since you can crank the NB by using the HT Ref clock (10x on a 9850)...
The one bad thing I've noticed about 1.4 is that you can't really lower the V's on the CPU, NB or Memory using 1.4. Personally, I really don't think the NB/IMC needs 1.3v's to run stable, nor does the memory need 2.25v's.
The 1.3 Beta gives much more control over Voltages/Multis (Via P-States), and seems to do OK with the 9850...
When I flashed it I used all the switches /p /b /n /c. That resulted in AMD NB being set back to "Version B2" and probably went back to old DMI's etc....
Achim:Guess your the Only K9A2/Phenom Guru left..
I really don't want to kill my board, but I'm thinking If I flash the 1.4 and then revert to 1.3B without the switches, I might get better results (IE not changing the NB Drivers/DMI/sub commands)...
Before I do it, I'd just like to get an experts opinion... Is this asking for trouble?
