Dropped it back to 2912 for burn-in at 1.3v. What cooler are you going to use with your dual optys? I'm thinking that I'd need to go water for any decent cooling cause of the socket f mounts.

Not much to say right now.
ahhhhhhhhh maaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn
tryiong those high ref clocks ruined my raid0 array. hope vista repair will fix it.
if not its time to fromat and start over again for the umptenth time or pull the XpPro HD from old pc and just run it and forget about vista for now.
Hi !
I´ve got a problem with my M3A32-MVP Deluxe and Phenom 9850 BE
I have got 2x 1 OCZ Reaper PC9200, and they do not want to run 1066 Mhz, there´s always a freeze, before the System boot up.
I can do what I want, the system do not want to boot up when DDR2 1066 is selected.
I can choose any timings I want, they do not want to boot up.
I´ve got the 1101 BIOS
Anyone can help me ?
What voltage do you have set for the ram?
You need such a high voltage because of Vista64. There is a timing/syncronisation(?) problem with the Phenom and this OS (only Vista64, XP/XP64/Vista32 are fine). AMD and MS are in knowledge of this problem. If there will be a fix no one knows.Originally Posted by SkullCracka
well tehre you goknew i couldnt resist very long.... stable. but still dont understand why the need to jump the volts upto 1.45v @ 3ghz from 1.3v @ 2.9.
Try OC with a XP and i let me know if you can get > 3GHz with < 1.45V.
Just wondering but does anyone actually know what all got changed for bios 1101? I'm only wondering because I'm able to lower the voltage for 3ghz/2.4ghz to 1.325 for both of them it seems at least for now. Other than that I have no clue to any other differences I'll find cause I just flashed it about 15 min ago.
Edit: Oh and it seemed to bump up my multicore efficiency in cinebench, before I was normally at 3.54 speedup, the last run was 3.59 with the new bios.

i can get 3ghz @ 1.45 no problem. i just doint understand why i can get 2.9 @ 1.3v
not sure old. only thing i noticed in te bios was the cache mapping not being in there. im gona reflash back to the 1101 here ina few. it freaked out on me the other day. not sure i was supose to give that out. lol but they didnt say not too either. wasnt the bioses fault i had taken out a video card moving some wires and i either pulled to hard or i didnt put it back in right and i think it was not set right were the case mount goes between the board and case. but im gona reflash right now.

Any news if the new 1101 bios is any good for the X2s
Desktop
AMD Phenom II X2 550 (Quad Unlocked @ 3.4Ghz / 2200Mhz NB)
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P (F9 Bios)
8GB (4x2GB) @ DDR2-800
ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCUII (920/1840/2200)
Corsair Force GT 120GB
LSI MegaRAID 8408E (3x750 R5)
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Cisco E2000 with DD-WRT kernel 2.6
should be good for all cpu's that are am2 or am2+
its a beta bios that was sent to me by a level 3 tech from there private ftp.
kept just calling and telling them what i was finding and having trouble with and that one day they were like oh look here a new bios on the private ftp. i was likesend it to me ill test it cant hurt ive formatted alot lol. all my probs in the beginning were bad memory now its just cuase by my failed OC's.
EDIT : interesting on my new fresh install and 1101 bios i am at 2.9ghz 1.20v
was in windows for awhile nothing major but was a little greedy trying 1.2v lol 1.3v now

I mean you should try 3GHz or more with less than 1,45V with a WinXP. Only Vista64 is holding you back.
oh ya i know that but that would be no fun then lol.
just weird that 1.3v @ 2.9 and 1.45v is needed to get 3ghz
wow vista is very sensitive. must make a restore disk this time. im sick of formating and updating. that install lasted all of an hour. registry corupted no repair would not work. ugggggggggggggggggggggggg

ok im back have vista reloaaded with the vista tweaks i spoke of and cpu running 3ghz @ 1.45v didnt try to lower becuae well i dont want to foramt again.
NB @ 2.4ghz 1.4v HT @ 2ghz ram @ 1066 unganged 5-5-5-15-19
the vista tweaks maybe some of you know of maybe some of you dont. turn off TMM and the other mobile-pc settings in vista and also turn off UAC. seems vista runs much better this way. the mobile settings make for a much longer boot time seeking multi monitors on boot and the other mobil setting is for turning on pre-set programs from sleep mode. worthless to me in a desktop enviroment. i also have the power setting set to performance. dont need sleep mode.
if your running a creative card after you update all the software and drivers goto msconfig start up tab and uncheck the dllml.exe. usualy 2 of them in start up that are not needed in start up. you will not loose any feature of your soundcard.

i can post and get into bios @ 3.4 ghz @ 1.3v. what is keeping it from getting into vista64???
i think im going to try to run memtest at that speed tonight. just to see if it will run at that speed/volts aswell.
I found another change, if you have a rev B2 chip in the option got changed to TLB Fix so it was more easily understandable. Still wish they would get the memory timings page more readable instead of having a screwed up order. I wonder if you can set different timings for the seperate memory channels in unganged... Oh and I put my 9600 back in cause I haven't put it in since I took the vapo off.
Edit: 11.5x260 @ 1.3v/1.325v. 33C Idle, 41C Load. Load is measured running World Community Grid and Rosetta@Home on all 4 cores. I love this processor... even if it is only a B2 rev...

Just so you guys all know, EZ flash will NOT work with the 1101 bios. It will reboot as it loads so you'll have to do the boot disk or through windows.
Not much to say right now.
what you mean wont work ??? to go back to 1002?? or what i know i got it back to 1002 thru easy flash but it was no easy task LOL
EZ flash in the bios restarts my computer and I can't use it. I can't go to a previous bios using the windows flasher, and I don't have a floppy drive in the computer. I do however have a usb floppy drive but that could be a fun process...
Not much to say right now.
worked fine for me off a 64mb usb stick.
1. AMD Phenom II x4 955 / 8GB Patriot DDR3-1866 9-10-9-27 / ASUS M5A99X EVO / Nvidia GTS 250 1GB
ive given up trying to OC this thing. Done. No matter what i do no matter how i set the ram, No matter what ram ive used (probly spent over 600 bucks just getting differnt brands and sizes) ive bought a new 9850, Same results Still Stuck at 2.7. Hard lock soon as i touch 2.7. I guess my last bastion of hope would be to RMA the board or just buy a new one... But for now. I quit.
---My Rig---
Intel i7 860 at 4ghz
MSI GD80
VenomX with 2 GELid 120mm Fans in Push Pull

3 LG 23in LED LCD's
3 Muskin Calisto Deluxe 60gig SSDs in raid 0
Silverstone Raven case
Enermax 85+ Revolution 1050watt PSU
I don't think it is your board... some 9850's hit 3.0 no problems (same MoBo), I can get mine to 3 at stock voltages (again, I am using same MoBo), others are seeing limits of 2.7 to 2.8 G ... I did a quick count of the reviews that overclocked the 9850, about 1/3 of them hit 3.0 GHz, the rest topped out around 2.8 GHz, though most reviewers do not take extra time and care to really give it the best effort.
It is the luck of the draw.

One hundred years from now It won't matter
What kind of car I drove What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank Nor what my cloths looked like.... But The world may be a little better Because, I was important In the life of a child.

two months has passed and ASUS still doesn't have officially published new BIOS for this mobo! That's just... neglecting!
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.
Yeah, they are not good at revising their BIOS .. I am running 1002, not problems really. But it is a little out of date.

We could be optimistic and hope that they are working on a bios to work with deneb the moment it comes out. But yeah, better htt clocking would be on my list of wants with this board.

here something interesting i found this weekend.
if i put ram on 1066 ganged. instead of unganged. i can boot up @ 3ghz @ 1.33v. it will actualy boot up at even lower volts @ 3ghz but im trying here for now. will lower it once i feel this setting is stable. 42c idle and 48c load.
Edit: uping the volts 1 setting at a time. that low is not stable @ 3ghz. but still interesting seing how it would not even get into windows with this low of a voltage with unganged setting. 1.375v seems to be the sweet spot so far. im also testing with lower ther ht to 1.8/x9 wich makes cpu run cooler slightly and i dont see any difference in the benchmark scores.

Unganged is just alot harder on the chip to do, most voltage increases are due to the memory controller anyway. Think about why you can't overclock in 1066 unganged mode but if you set it back to ganged it clocks like a dream. Then check the difference between overclocking in 1066 vs like 533. Should overclock slightly more because the memory controller has less to worry about. Same thing will happen with 2x512mb sticks instead of 2x1gb sticks because there is less memory to address.
