Good going DFI...

I had to flash the bios but now after the flash the system doesn't post it gives a 01 code on the led. I am pissed now.

After a successful flash? Have you tried another GPU?

I use my nvidia card when I flashed the bios.. after I flashed the motherboard to the beta bios the motherboard now does not post.

I used my usb flash drive with dos on it to upgrade the motherboard bios.

DFI has some 'splaining to do.

So, uh, how did they manage to get those numbers for the brain?

**Solus Corvus** · 08-16-2008, 12:27 PM

Just think about a complete 3dmark run as fast as you can...

...see how quick that went?

**safan80** · 08-16-2008, 12:39 PM

Obviously they're approximations based on the number of neurons in the brain, the number of connections between neurons in the brain, the rate at which they fire, etc.

I stuck my head in a bucket of ice and got 12EBps. So there.

I'm still waiting for mine

**fireice2** · 08-16-2008, 05:30 PM

Anyone want to overvolt one's brain over 30W for a bigger OC?

+0.3V on Single Stage, plus excessive ammounts of glucose.

Does flickering happens? because CF in crysis flat setting(all very high or else) will result flickering in previous CFing 38xx or 48xx but not with 3870X2. Is the same thing happened now? i mean X2 flickering free? ...thanx

No it isn't grab at least a 600 or 650W PSU, preferably the 650TX from Corsair which is $110 at Newegg.

**Red Evil** · 08-17-2008, 03:22 AM

you should try how it work with 500w first, then maybe get better one if needed.

Thanx!
WHY?

**spursindonesia** · 08-17-2008, 04:40 AM

That Enermax, which type is it ? And how much is the amperage of the 12v rails combined ? And your spec, only a single raptor, no ODD, fans ? I must say a good 600-650w unit is prescribed to be on a safer side.

Enermax Liberty

**Macadamia** · 08-17-2008, 06:06 AM

The Liberty sucks for its given wattages. Sorry, get the 650W and sell yours at a nice price.
