But, as I wrote official 1.2 BIOS supports E8600 ... I remember some issues with E8400 and 1.2 BIOS together, and with E8600 overall stability is solid on 4.33 GHz.. I set this setup right from a start and no previous issues appeared.. /i had video corruption issue before/..Originally Posted by nugzo
Same thing here. My striker died so i pilled out the Diamond. Hangs on first screen with E8600. Put q6600 in and it boots right up. E8600s have been out long enough to have bios support from MSI. My Q9650 will be here tomorrow.
Now got a feeling, this CPU likes this BIOS auto values - CPU V +0.3000 /thanks to VID 1.1000/, RAM V 2.2, NB 1.55 V, SB 1.6V, everything else on auto 433*10, FSB:RAM ratio 1:1..
I didn't try any other bios after, 1.2 just worked and it was 6th time I got my cooler down and CPU out of socket ..went to the shop next day and CPU worked there, so than I was sure it's BIOS or broken board.. So I needed to swap CPUs couple of times, again, because of BIOS flashing..
LOONYM...
Some new Beta is worth to try, anyway
