@zoomee : not cpunb , but NB voltage . alter that by 0.1 and test .

bingo13 , hope you get back to us soon with a beta bios

**zoomee** · 09-01-2010, 01:42 PM

Just tried upping the NB by one notch, then by two notchs from 1.3 - same thing - BSOD :-(

zoomee: Did you try setting your RAM timings manually?

They may have made changes with Auto Mem timings....

**Madise** · 09-01-2010, 04:43 PM

Hey~ wonder if anyone else got weird temp reading from CPUID Hardware Monitor for C4F...

It shows TMPIN2 - 128C

**OC Maximus** · 09-01-2010, 05:53 PM

I have it too.

I always use DOCP - so it automatically puts in most of the correct entries - apart from trc which I always have to change.

All the other memory settings are just way to complicated - other than the usual 9-9-9-24-41-2T and volt settings which seem to be set ok.

I did a dry run yesterday just to make sure it was all working ok at stock settings - Prime ran for like 20 hours + - lol - seeing my CPU running at 41Degrees C under full load was hilarious (stock 3.x setting) - as I'm used to it hitting 60Degrees C @ 4Ghz/1.46v!

dissapointed now as no more overclocking for me until a new bios is out - its either 4Ghz or bust!

Bingo13 is probably going to come in tomorrow and say : "End of next week!" .

No he won't since he didn't say "later this week" before this time

Maybe he will say he was about to release the beta while one of the two Typhoons came and took it with it

(different version of "the dog ate my homework"

)

**Cyberlink_20** · 09-03-2010, 01:16 AM

Hope their is a beta for the M3NHT Deluxe Mobo. I cannot change any CPU voltage settings or anything on my 1055T. I also get a 0X101 BSOD as well random freezing while playing games. Never had this with my 940BE, hopefully the issues will be resolved soon please Asus.

No point in releasing a new Ch4F bios if there are known critical bugs in it, right?
I for one rather wait for a proper release - still beta though

If i get really bored/inpatient i could try to import newer agesa & updated roms myself into 1005, but naaah....

**thingbreaker** · 09-03-2010, 03:55 AM

my gskill flare can not run on ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 , but it can run when i press the memoryOK switch. Should i update the official BIOS to beta BIOS?

BIOS isn't beta as ASUS made it official (even though some don't like it) and overclocking (at least with a 965 and a 1055T) is more stable, as for real critical bugs (like system not booting at all) I'm sure people will complaint

Anyway, latest new BIOS are:

ASUS M4A87TD EVO 1005

ASUS M4A89TD Pro USB3 1006

ASUS M4A87TD USB3 1005

ASUS M4A87TD 1005

ASUS M4A89GTD Pro USB3 1606

Call them whatever you want or wait a couple of days for them to appear on the official motherboard downloads page :P

where i can download the BIOS?

**birdiex** · 09-03-2010, 04:59 AM

The BIOS are under ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/ if not already mirrored to ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/

I wasn't refearing to 1005 as a beta, but the upcoming one we all wait for bingo13 to post here.
Even though Asus also post beta bioses on the support/download site sometimes, and make them official (see 0701 & 0707)

As for the critical bug:

Sorry about the delay but trying to get the new code as right as possible the first time out instead of playing the release and patch cycle. Of course two Typhoons hitting Taiwan this week does not help.

thanks bro

**birdiex** · 09-03-2010, 06:21 AM

If they aren't done with all features 1005 may be a transition BIOS, if there's a new BIOS in 7-14 days you might as well skip it, if you have a X6 you will probably be more tempted to try it

i've try it, still no booting

only boot using memOK switch, any idea?

**Cyberlink_20** · 09-03-2010, 09:40 AM

Well since there has been no news lately on the M3N series boards I guess mine is garbage then. Too bad it has been a good Mobo, guess I will have to buy an AM3 board what do you guys recommend. 980A any better since I have TRI SLI 260's

Tried out the 1605 M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 BIOS, hoping it might solve my 2 nvidia card problem (1gfx/1phx in theory), but the second card still goes unrecognized.

Was this supposed to be addressed in 1605, or just the mixed amd/nvidia setup?

**Neera** · 09-03-2010, 12:43 PM

Just saw 1606 bios for M4A89GTD PRO USB3 on the asus ftp, what's new?

It can't be as bad as 1605 thats for sure!!!

Thanks Asus -

Priming now on 1606 as I type this!

Seems more stable and reliable than the last one and for the first time EVER - this bios has correctly picked up ALL my RAM settings (including correct trc)- yay

PC Probe reported various jumps in Vcore on 1605 - whereas on this one it seems more stable like the older BIOS's

Also noted that the FSB stays more around the 200Mhz mark instead of jumping slightly.

So far tis all good

- Will report back if I can run 24hours prime stable again
