an we have more info on the nr.4 and nr.1?

and does the second slot still work @x16 if the first slot is free or has the vga switch?

Thanks for the new BIOS, I'll be testing it throughly tomorrow.

Hey bingo, or really any other person that can help me. I have a Athlon II x3 445 rana (m4a89gtd pro/usb3 mobo)and i wanted to try to unlock the l3 or 4th core (it's a deneb die). I tried the autounlocker but everytime i do it (switch or from bios) the red DRAM LED light comes on and i have to hit that MemOK button or w/e it is to reset the bios settings in order for it to post. I realize it may be a bad core but why would the DRAM LED light up and is there anyway i can try to manually unlock the l3 cache (or the 4th core for that matter, i don't trust this auto unlocker thing :X)? Would this bios update help this issue or what should i do? I contacted asus tech support and they responded (after 2 weeks), that you should contact asus overclocking department over the phone and well... I either get hung up on or dropped call so I don't know what to do :/. I have BIOS revision 1456. Perhaps maybe since my processor was released pretty close to this 1456 release date, it is not supported for autounlocking? will the 1602 BIOS update fix this?

Can anyone help me :/. I don't want to flash the new 1605 or 1602 bios and then have issues and not be able to downgrade.

Hi bingo, thanks so much for posting these pre-beta BIOSes. They've made me reconsider returning my M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 to the place I bought it.

The most recent BIOS you posted, 1605, has fixed most of my problems running Ubuntu Linux on the board. At one point I had to disable tsc and hpet and set the kernel clocksource to acpi_pm. I also had major problems with the Realtek card cutting in and out, even in the last BIOS (1602). But as I said, 1605 seems to have fixed those problems. I am now booting without any extra kernel boot parameters and the on-board LAN seems to be fine.

I haven't tested it yet on 1605 but I was having a problem on 1602 with a Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI card. It's a 4-port SATAI card. Basically if I had the card plugged into the board, I could not have all six motherboard SATA ports utilised in AHCI mode. The error I was getting was "Insufficient Runtime Space for MPS Data! System may operate in PIC or. Non-MPS mode" I haven't tried with 1605 yet, but I was wondering if this was an error condition that you're aware of. I was hoping to use this board in my home file server and I have 8 hard drives in the system. I'd really like to be able to have all six motherboard SATA ports in addition to the Promise card's 4 ports.

I'll try to test 1605 out this weekend but just thought I'd mention it to you in case you had come across this issue already. I've been in contact with ASUS tech support via e-mail but unfortunately they haven't been super helpful.

Saw that there was an update concerning the M4A89GTD and maybe there is something in the pipeline for the M4A89TD pro/usb?

Have overhere serious troubles concerning CorssfireX with 2xHD5850, already contacted ATI but everybody may guess what their answer was.......don't rejoice the support of ATI!
The only advantage is more detailed scenery and no gain, would say loss, in FPS!

But, to be sure, it could be that it is motherboard - bios related so is there something in the pipeline?

Update - C4F BIOS passed first qualification today. If the second set of user beta testing goes well tomorrow then we should have it posted late this week.

[FlanK3r]

good news bingo!

Hey bingo, since it passed qualification I'd be willing to beta test for ya.

I have a couple C3's (X2 & X4) and an E0 Tuban....
Send me a PM if interested, I'll be discrete!

Hey Bingo whats up. Any news on a new bios for the M3N mobo's out there. I would like to OC my CPU Phenom 1055T to it's full potential past 3.7 GHZ@ 1.3875V the bios voltages have incorrect voltage readings no turbo core option, the FSB OC is very unstable past 262 and I am getting 0X101 BSOD's also the multiplier is not sticking. If you have any beta bios's you can lend me or when one will becoming out I will be happy to try it out. I am using 3106 on a M3N HT deluxe thanks for the news on the C4F bios.

Hi ! I just tried the new beta 1605 for "M4A89GTD PRO" . I went from 1301 and everythings seems okey so far altho sometimes i can't enter bios with DEL. Its just passing through and ends up with "choosing win 7 as boot or win memory diagnostic tool instead. But it does work for the most time luckly. Then there is the x16 mode for upper PCI-E slot , its still x8 with one card for me or maybe that new feature was meant for something else. I had to bump up one notch on the vcore aswell compared to 1301 but thats okey. Other than that its seems to working very well as before and im looking forward to new bioses

What about M4A79 Deluxe? it's been over a week ago it was said to be in final testing, which usually should take one week... is there any trouble with this?!

Here is what we are trying to accomplish with the Thuban processors. On our Rampage III Intel boards we have LLC setttings at 0%, 50%, and 100% so you can fine tune the voltage overshoots when using LLC. We are trying to do the same on the AMD boards for Thuban but dialing in the right ramp settings to keep Core 0 properly set and have Turbo mode work at the same has required some significant test time. The first BIOS out with this setup will be the C4F and then a few of the other boards. It has taken longer than expected to work this out and provide a reasonable solution with Thuban and LLC, which it was not designed to work with at all.

[skill123]

any news about m3a79 deluxe ? or it's same like m4a79 deluxe?

[crazydiamond]

so does that mean turbo is working on c4f with an OC on cpu ?

One thing from bios is annoying to me, i cant turn off CPU fan monitoring, so if i use watercooling and not the cpu fan. I will recieve error every boot, with no cpu fan. I can only turn that off. If i set don not halt on any errors. It would be nice if Asus would use something like this. Or if anybody else has another idea how tu turn it off in bios, since i cant find it.

I know i can just connect another fan from my case to it, but thats not want i want.

under temp and fan and voltage info tab. Set cpu fan to ignored.

thx praz, i stare at so many bios's i have trouble navigating people there but I do know the option to disable name

That little annoying message is actually helpull on intel when on ln2

[Praz]

Knowing it's there still took me a second to find it as I don't use it often. When watercooling I connect the pump tach output to the CPU fan header which is what the screenshot is showing.

i have also a m3n-ht deluxe and all i want from a new bios is the ability to disable thuban turbo funktion

because i do turbo and cool&quit with software
http://phenommsrtweake.sourceforge.net/

it works great

but since i cant disable strange bios turbo funktion the bios and my turbo tool both try to set multiplacator for the core dynamical and thats "not good" (forum make it impossible type b u l l s h i t lol)
