Tim or Dino, any chance you've got a newer BIOS for the EP45T-DS5 m8s ?

[dinos22]

lol we didn't even get our boards yet heheh
have you done much testing with that board yet

[BenchZowner]

Not much.
The EP45T-DS5 board is revision... listen... 0.3
BIOS is D21 ( WTF ? ) and...unfortunately full of bugs.
Most overclocking attempts ( even ridiculous ones, like 380MHz FSB with gay timings ) result in a... power on - power off sequence...
Guess I'll have to wait for Sue to come back from Computex

[dinos22]

don't waste time with those early boards
i'm sure we will get full retail ones for testing soon

btw here are some results i had on the USB stick from Taiwan event on DS5 board











nothing special
crappy drivers and buggy board....some of these were done on single channel and also i used the second PCI Express slot so 8x bandwidth

i was more interested in just testing the CPU at 2volts all day long to see if the board will live

it's a survivor hehehe

That board is full of bugs unfortunately, even with last bios (D23), it doesnt clock badly but its not that stable

I received 3 stuff, 1 EP45-DS4 ( seems to be working ok now, even with early BIOS ), 1 EP45T-DS5 ( God knows if it'll ever work properly ), and a T-Shirt.
2 out of 3 stuff working properly

Come on Sue, I seriously need some new BIOSes

[BenchZowner]

That's the second report for E2.
PPinDaHouse told me the same.

I will try later on my board ( need to get some stuff done first ).
Could be a wrong ID... we'll see.
