When hit F8 in BIOS, you get one option to update the BIOS, and one for saving it to drive/USB. This will save all profiles too. Just save the BIOS and send to him, he can flash his BIOS using your file. He must change the RAM-settings according to his RAM, but the rest should pretty much the same for same batch#, hopefully.

You know looking at the above screen shot - I reco you run lower v's for memory than what I show.
Run v's like that only for benching, otherwise stay at 1.66v and corresponding lower dram v's for the other settings.
The qpi/vtt and vcore are ok, hopefully the cpu PLL is not to high.

Hi !

Sorry by my bad English. I'm Spanish.

Last week I installed a Sapphire 5850 in this motheboard. Previous card was Nvidia GTX 260.

Now with a Corsair HX620W there is too much electric sound in FA. With my old GTX260 this electric sound exists but a bit less.


Is the motheboard causing my problem or it's FA ?

Anyone can help me please ?

[newhit]

got it, I will give that a try.

Thanx again

[neonatas]

you have this in other games aswell? If yes...
Then its called coil whine, and its either caused by your videocard/motherboard or your power supply. which one, will require alot of testing.

Hope it helps

Steve! Exporting bios is genius, I'd be totally grateful if you could load up your 4.5ghz linx stable settings and attach it here? I will flash back to F4 just to be on the same page.

yep - trying now

Yoh guys,
I just flashed my BIOS to the 7d version and had to realize that the CPU Clock Drive and the PCI Experss Clock Drive went both down to 700mV
With the f6 version I had 800mV on CPU Clock Drive and PCI Express Clock Crive 900 mV.
How come?
What makes this changing better?

Sam - I have F4 bios and all I see in q flash is "floppy A" how do I get usb as a choice?

[SteveRo]

ok so I found my floppy drive - pm me a location or email and I will send.
Make sure you are on F4 before you load

[Sam_oslo]

Good you have have floppy laying around.
I use a 4GB USB (formated FAT32) for loading and saving BIOS. It doesn't have the same drive letter as in w7, but it has always been accessible from BIOS.

[mbreslin]

Same. I wish I could just load one of his profiles instead of having to actually flash, I always feel like I'm messing with fate. (at least I have a 920 here if I got stuck with a non gulf ready bios)

p.s. steve check pm's

[newhit]

you have to load optimized default

700/700 is the fail safe default or after you clr the cmos

How the F7d is working for you, your old stable settings working fine?

[mbreslin]

loaded 4.5 going to run linx and clean the house

thanks steve.

Hi all,

Well I have finally done it - ordered my 980X, should be here Monday. Only problem is that I have had to take pot luck on what batch I get as I ordered it online - hope it is one of the good B batches or are there other good batches???

Roll on Monday, bank balance is not so happy Lol.
Hope I have done the right thing !!!!

Mark

[SteveRo]

We probably don't have a large enough population to say much.
I will say based on what I've seen so far - both here and other forums - they ALL seem good - so far.

[mbreslin]

Not all of them steve, my 920 would pass #20 linx runs at 4.9.
980x with your 4.5 profile:


this happened with my own settings at 4.4 as well, looks like I got unlucky finally. :<
