Same problem here. It seems to fail if you want to tweak the BIOS right away. But if you first boot with stock settings, reboot and then try again, that seems to work.
Also be careful when loading OC profiles. Mine set vCORE to over 1,6V (E5200)!

same issue with OC profiles. Also noticed that with 1702 bios i lost full stable 4005mhz with 1.264 vcore. I want to downgrade back to 1406 but EZ Flash don't let me to do it. Maybe I will try to downgade with afudos, or rise voltage.

[Godmyster]

I dont know whats wrong here... i cant even get it to go 445, what am i doing wrong? i need some help here with some OC, apreciate it.



Thanks

Use Windows utility. I'm not afraid of using it now since i have the backup BIOS anyway. Just don't forget to enable Downgrading in Options!

seem some ppl working fine with 1702/1703 but many ppl have problems

for me used 1611, from 1306 to 1611 (1406 wont work for me)

i enabled downgrade in options and tried to flash several bioses, but always update utility says: "Warnning! The BIOS image can't use in this motherboard (The EEPROM Type incompatible)". What is it?

[Leeghoofd]

For all lads that have problems downgrading the bios plz look at this post ; either you take the hard way (swap bios chips and hotflash ) or download that AFUDOS version which seems to work nicely

Not sure what they've done to the 1702 BIOS but my system now boots like half faster. I just fire it up, makes like 2 sweeps of progress bar and i already see the Vista orb glowing. Anyone else noticed this or is it just a random display?
Is it possible that system now works better with all 4 memory slots filled?
Oh, also how come they made such a huge version jump?

[pangingIII]

for whatever reason, it seems that i have to use more NB volts than i was using in 1406 version.
however, 1702 may be improved on with some of a better RAM compatibility it has shown some improvment with my hardwares at least,
so as of now, i like this bios version better. it's about time asus released a new bios like this for this board model.

sorry for offtopic, but where i can find files from bootable floppy to create bootable flash? Or image, or what do i need? I don't have floppy drive and can't copy floppy image to flash stick.

[CryptiK]

use the HP bootable usb tool

the full explenation is in the thread mate. Just read it and carefully follow the instructions. Your USB stick will load the flash program automatically (if ya set the bios ofcourse to boot from the stick )

Works like a charm, too bad he only has the util for Asus mobo's...

you don't have to go that way ...

just download this version of asusupdate (flash in windows) http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...sUpdt61002.zip

!Attention!
uninstall previous version of asusupdate and run "ccleaner" you can download here http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds
than you were able to flash back to an old bios.... if you not run ccleaner asusupdate will show you the same red error message that you can't downgrade...

I did downgrade with that asusupdate version obove last night and it worked perfectly

I have a crossfire HD4870 setup on my board: great GPU performance in gaming with the CPU overclock too, but I struggled with the heat and noise in normal day to day computing

I replaced the stock coolers with Accerlero Twin Turbos (which fit a variety of GPUs). Much better coolers: less noise and much lower temps/noise in normal computing

http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=166

This is just a headsup that they work on the P5Q board in a Xfire config, just fit

Couple of snaps here, had to mod an Antec P182 case slightly to get the lower cooler mounted - cut a hole

Yes there is duct tape there to stop cable fray on the edges





Loving the board, not going to move from 1406 bios unless there is something compelling released

[CryptiK]

Nice looking setup mac_69 - can we see some 3D benchies?

[pangingIII]

Q9300 460x7.5, 8GB (4x2GB) at 5:6 DDR2-1100, bios set vDimm 1.8v, vMCH 1.36v, moderate and PL8.

4x Prime95's running 1 thread each, with a lot of RAM being used and tested...




i was never able to run this 8GB ram set at the clock speed with vDimm 1.9v and 1.30-1.46v vMCH,
before 1702 version of bios the 8GB will only capable to do 4:5 DDR2-1100 at 1.80-1.86v (bios) and at 440FSB.

bios 1702.
have sold my E8600 Q820A606 at the wrong time
run right now with a QX6850,I again have bought a E8600

NEW volt set in bios 1702
CPU VID: ??? what makes it good for

Some old benches in my sig

New coolers are great as I do normal computing 99% of the time, but I had read on the web and found out first hand that its not possible to overclock GPUs much with these quieter fans (compared to stock)

Got almost the same result with default clocks though, just under 20K

I've forgotten my vantage key

here whit the QX6850 8x500FSB bios 1702 Watercooling
had little trouble with the last test in 06,whit 513FSB

Not too bad. Have you tried settings CPU GTL Refs to 0.67x or higher? There's a possibility that you could go a little higher or lower your cvore at the current speed with some GTL tweaking.

Nice work, 500 & 513 FSB on a quad is good to see. What vNB did that require?

[Martin.v.r]

ty CryptiK
vNB 1.56v

[lexus232]

have u improved NB cooling?

Wich slots your using for rams ? A1/B1 Or A2/B2 (Yellow or black slots)

I tried to swich to black slots today (just for test) and it didnt even boot. Went back to Yellow one's and it worked again.

[x3mgamer]

same thing here, after updating to 1702 i lost my OC and had to unplug to get post screen, so far so good
