No, no need & it won't.

If you use only one videocard then PCI-E selector should be set to Auto & it will sort it out itself; PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatible, so it will detect your card's needs.

Cheers mate, thanks for your help..

Same as 1406.

With my OCZ Blade 2000-7-8-7, if I set to AUTO, I have 0 after the rebooting.
Next value after AUTO is 4 that I am using now, as 0 needs some more Vqpi.

Did it quickly but it looks like sleep mode works in bios 1502. Checked the voltages and they are all the same as before it went to sleep mode. Still testing.....

Hey! Which cpu cooler are you guys running? If there is anyone in here running on air tho:P And is it a bad idea to clock from stock right up to 4.0ghz? Saw some filled out bios at the start of the thread i might use.

I'm on air and at 4.0ghrz with a Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler. And i'm using 1406 bios atm.

What is the max blcks folks are getting on this board. Highest i got is 4.3ghrz @ 21 x 204 with 1.42 volts. But now i am reading 21 is on using 1 core at that? So need some info on that also. And i am running a co chip.

**Nemon** · 07-19-2009, 05:08 PM

My board will not run stable on a 20 Multiplier. I can't figure it out.

BIOS: 1406

Prime Stable on a 19 Multiplier . also i had 210x19=3990 @ 1.25 volts prime stable for over 8 hours. I upped the QPI/DRAM volts to 1.375

20 will not work. Is this a common problem with this board?

BTW temps are high cause my house was 34C (93 deg. F) that day, normally this chip runs 56C full load on large FFT's with room temps at 26C, so cooling is not the prob.

Had same problem with my old 920 CO 200x19@1.3500, 20x not stable , even at 1.475 volts

what you all think? Is this the board? Or some more tweaking needed?

OC settings:

cpu tm - Disabled
intel speedstep - Disabled
intel c-state - Disabled
cpu spread - Disabled
pcie spread - Disabled

**KILLER_K** · 07-19-2009, 06:23 PM

I'm guessing you have a d0 since you got low voltage to get to 4.0 gighrz {nvm i see the s.s now}. I don't have any issues with 20 or 21 multi. but the settings you gave is only for speedstep ,etc. you need to list your ram voltage, qpi, etc settings you are using. And just for nitpicking turn off HT in cpu options and see if it allows you to use 20 or 21 then.

**seba84_2005** · 07-20-2009, 02:29 AM

Guys what have temps on NB/SB chipsets with stock cooling?

I have to compare with my water block.

Stock R2E, inside Cooler Master ATCS840 w. True Copper (HT on) & 22C room temperature:

**Baer** · 07-20-2009, 10:02 AM

No problem here running 20 or 21 multiplier with a C) 920 and 1306 Bios with or without HT.

**seba84_2005** · 07-20-2009, 02:35 PM

rabor Thanks man

my temps

room temp 28*C HT on

**KILLER_K** · 07-20-2009, 07:13 PM

rabor and seba84_2005, since you both are at the same speed. Are you both on air or water and what is the temps after running linX all 20 passes at 4.2 with HT on?

Still haven't heard anything about the 21x multi though. It seems my scores goes down when using it, maybe just a glitch though.

I can do 4.3 on air with this c/0 stepping but that is the limit it do believe even with the megahalems. As the chips isn't getting hot, just limited.

I have i7 920 D0 and run 4.2GHz on 1.26v, QPI 1.3v. My max temps with stress 70*C (room temp 26*C) but I cool with liquid cooling on CPU and mobo

**TRANCEFORMER** · 07-21-2009, 09:51 AM

finally Bios 1502 solved my cold boot issue, i had a cold boot issue only when i turn off the psu from the back switch. but that problem is gone with the new bios. finally they knew how to fix the problem. hope they release a WHQL of it

**PalmeAsus** · 07-21-2009, 10:09 AM

noticed this also , also noticed that the epu phase controll is gone from bios. Maybe the cold boot and the option were connected. Anyway i only had coldboot when i were using qpi volt 1.35+ but it's really a relief since i use 1.45 =)

**Z3R0-CooL** · 07-21-2009, 10:42 AM

cold boot issue solved for me as well.

**jasonelmore** · 07-21-2009, 10:52 AM

Added latest Official Bios to front page 1406 with changelog

**tistou77** · 07-21-2009, 11:44 AM

bios 1502 will also solved my cold boot problem ^ ^

I thought it was the C memory slot on the motherboard that had a problem with the test that I do, but since the bios, boot it without problem

**TRANCEFORMER** · 07-21-2009, 01:51 PM

Yea i was about to change my mobo for a classified but this saved the day. We should tell everyone to update to bios 1502 on other forums cause i saw lots of ppl with cold boot issue, sufferd as we did after paying a large sum for their setup. but everything would be fine now

**MarcusFoX** · 07-21-2009, 05:23 PM

1502 is pritty decent it looks like... I hated not being able to put my system in sleep mode... im working on 4.4ghz with this d0 screen will be up soon.

**JohnMike** · 07-22-2009, 12:27 AM

Where can i donwload Bios 1502 ?!

**Leeghoofd** · 07-22-2009, 12:31 AM

Thanks for the test, will hook up the RE II for the I7 waterblock test. Value 0 is not zero in fact, the bios reads it out (think to hide the real setting for the competition) as zero. In fact it's around 4 setting. Glad you can run it as tight as that, we needed 8-10 for Hyperpi 32m stability with 8 threads on XP64 and Vista 64.

How high do you need to run the QPI volts to get stable ? difference between 4 and 0 ?
