Yeah, I know. Trust me after how much I paid for all of these components I am definitely not planning on changing them. I've had this board and chip probably longer than most people posting in this thread, so I do get frustrated sometimes, especially when Intel does something like what they seem to be planning on doing with the 940 and 965.Originally Posted by scaramonga
I would say 100% right there.
Although, don't give up heart dejanh, this board has plenty of weird stuff going on, I have not had cold boot as issue yet, but I have had lots of silly stuff going on, which just doesn't happen usually, stick with it buddy, I feel better times coming
Were all here for each other buddy
Yup, my cold boot is only after a total power off. Had one just this morning infact. Funny thing is, it literally does have to be a "cold" boot. If I power down now, and then I try to start the system again, it will boot just fine.
Indeed. We should have had resolutions to many of these annoying problems that volumes and volumes of users have been experiencing a long time ago. And in terms of the planned phase-out of chips...I think the 940 and the 965 are basically not selling at all, so Intel wants to start doing some actual binnning to make a distinct difference between the parts, which sucks big time. Though, if the 940 goes EOL then an RMA must give you a 950I havent had any cold boot issues, but do have this frustrating wall at 4.2ghz, same outcome with both 920 and 940 chips. I've tried my own settings and also tried settings that others have posted here. with the same result.
The 940 I have behaves identically to the 920 at least on this board right down to the multis it will run on, the extras for the 940 are like tantalising teasers that are there but cant be used?
As far as 940 and 965 being phased out, that in itself speaks volumes. though having said that I dont think they are bad chips per se, just not on this board atm.
Personally, when the bios comes that is intended to fix this tdp issue arrives If it works great if not then I will have to think about getting a different board.
I totally understand where dejaneh is coming from, for a board with such a price tag these issues should be addressed much faster than they have been regardless of the 920/940/965 debate.
I have socket 478 boards here that are more consistant, less complex yes but they will still take a good hammering and still boot everytime.
Main thing is though that I want to see the new bios for this board...c'mon Asus!
