ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[_Cyber_]

Any word about the M3N bios? Just got wind MSI released 2.7 with thuban support and I'm tempted to change boards out over the weekend unless we have something coming within the next couple of days.

you know, m3n-ht already supports thuban, only improvements should be done ...

In my book no it doesn't. The multipliers don't work and 100mhz above stock hard-locks ie 210HTT. That's not fault of the CPU that's all chipset issues because the MSI board I had previously did the same thing; isolated it to being problems with the integrated gfx card, disabled it and poof 270HTT. This mobo does not have the option to disable therefor I cannot overclock on this board at all. What I have now and have for the last 3 months or so is just enough to POST into the OS and that's it.

I am seriously... seriously tempted to roll back to my MSI board but I really don't feel like ripping my setup apart when I know full well that eventually there will be a Asus bios that addresses my issue. All I'm realistically looking for is 18x-20x that's it. If that range worked 100% of the time or if AI boost gave me the options to set those multis I wouldn't be here. In part my insistance on getting them is because I bought a 1090T and the M3N because the MSI board for months after Thuban's release would not post with it. Granted that's my mistake for not looking into said board before I purchased it, but I honestly thought if it made to official release the multipliers would be working; apparently I was mistaken.

I hate to be a noodge like this I do, but stuff like this reminds me why I stopped buying AMD for a number of years during the A64 days. Why? Motherboard issues which is exactally where I'm at now.

as you own a 1090T you also should be able to OC with VID and the according settings for vcore with K10stat, etc. it works well, just the boot to windows is not OCd ...

I think (and hope) asus will provide a bios which is filled with less bugs than the current one, but it's in my opinion still not a showstopper ...

I never really understood what the program was about; did some reading and screw it. This is really what I was looking for, what they do with the BIOS at this point I could give a damn; THANKS!

THANKS!

no matter.

not really - I think you will also miss the P3-state (800MHz) - use phenomMSRtweaker to unlock the P3-state, it will work.

CH IV 905 bios 5970 games crash to desktop often.Back to 801 no issues.

Intel 80gb rev2 ssd always states ide in bios.Bios 1-4 set to ahci.5-6 ide.Windows/dos says ahci.

no matter.

Not going to derail the thread any further but Ive messed around with those programs and they are great I just cant get them to load on start up. Either way I need the bios to do it the right way.

Update - I will be in Taiwan next week to work on final qualification testing on the new 890/790FX BIOS releases.

Since "next week" is already here. Any news about how much longer it will take for a new bios for the M4A79 already?
(sorry its just so hard to keep on waiting )

For CHIV we've not see too many betas .
Altough i read there is a beta being tested internally (?) "Crosshair IV Formula - Memory Clocking, Improved LLC settings, Improved CPU/NB ranges, in beta testing as of 6/30"

Are there any issues preventing this beta from being released to us ? Or will asus directly go for a stable release this time for CHIV .

[doonsy]

M4A785-M

any news

[GMScribe]

and here comes Friday! All my fingers are crossed for a new CHIV bios.

[imamage]

Hello there
Is that any update with Crosshair IV BIOS/Beta BIOS ?

[crazydiamond]

why of course not.

[CrimInalA]

BRING IT ON

[thirdman]

7/30/2010 Update

I will be posting several new BIOS releases late today for the 890FX and 890GX motherboards based on a completely new AGESA code base. I will warn everyone now that updating to this BIOS code means you cannot flash back to a previous BIOS and we will not have a tool to do it. That said now that we over this programming exercise there will be enhancements to the new code in the future but more importantly the BIOS team is back to work on the 790/780/785/880 chipsets.

[aoratoss]

i be waiting

[Mechromancer]

Will the 790FX boards get this new AGESA code as well?

[diddi35]

so at least one more week before there will be something for the m4a79. I guess very soon means something like when its done :P

[_Cyber_]

but more importantly the BIOS team is back to work on the 790/780/785/880 chipsets.

does this also mean that M3N-users are still left high and dry?

Update - Might be early tomorrow morning for the BIOS', stuck at SFO after a flight cancellation.

Anything for me by any chance?
At this point you could send the stock one renamed and I might dampen my undies!

You have a laptop with WLAN and a VPN connection to work by any chance?
If not, then fix it until next time

[GMScribe]

That's one big flight delay =P
