To everybody that flashes beta biosses a general warning :
For 0901 bios : If you read pmp's reply to my post of the 0901 that was leaked and not a release by our usual source (which to me raised my eyebrows) There were still flaws in it and pmp warned us that he didn't wanted to release this bios...
Thing I noted immediately that with 0803 and 0901 compared to older biosses that I needed other setings than the 7 series to be stable... maybe the higher bandwith , decreased latency has got something to do with it... we got several flaws : HD issues & incompatability, CPU overtemp errors, seems still some rams that are limited according users...
I just test them alphas (if allowed) and I take the risk for borking my own board. Pmp is the master of bios design and we give him feedback on issues we encounter because we are all looking for best performance. I test for stability, general usage,...., but releases follow up pretty quickly ( which is nice ) and you have tounderstand it's pretty impossible to test all sorts of ram/FSB combo's... as I'm limited ofcourse by the hardware I own and ofcourse limited in time too...
Secondly beta is beta and we have to be aware that some biosses can be zero improvement for some, for others it's the next big thing... I wrecked a perfectly good striker due to a leaked alpha... it updated the firmware of my chipsets... board was never the same again afterwards... the damage was done...
For my rig, with some alterations my OC with the Wolf is still stable 500FSB @1000/1200 ram and 400/450FSB @ 1066/1081 with the QX...I'm limiting my OC's daily at 4Ghz --> 4.5 for benching... Also remember with 45nm CPU's that more voltage isn't always required and some CPU's feel better with some voltages reduced instead of raised...
Pmp is working his ass of to get this P45 under control (respect mate, if you ever visit my humble country hopefully we can have some brewskis)... believe me guys this DDR2 release is a smooth ride compared to the DDR3 variant... we can run Oc'ed, but have to limit ourselves a bit... have a look in the P5Q3 thread... if you dare
1001 is under test lads hang on ....





Saaya yupp, I agree
