ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[Shadowized]

that's quite a large fsb droop Crim can anyone else confirm that?

Haven't seen anything like that here with 955/1090. Monitoring with CPU-Z, AI Suite and THG Clock. Both idle and loaded using Prime (small FFTs/blend) and LinX. Voltage spreads are tighter with this BIOS, particularly VCORE and CPU/NB. Also at least on my board most measured voltages are lower then software reports.

I haven't seen any crazy float on the HTref either (although it still no better than 1005)...

Did you check voltages off the board with a DMM Praz?
And if so, did you happen to note how much lower it was compared to CPU-z?

Thanks..... Dave

seems like the cpu-nb needs a lot more vcore in my case . whereas 3085mhz was stable at 1.3V before i now need 1.4V to get 3000NB stable .
still testing with linx now , this time upping HTlink speed and see .

I used PC Probe/RC TweakIt for software monitoring running Prime95/Small FFTs with the 1090 at 4200MHz. The listed voltages are the highest I saw during a 15 second period. At the same time I captured the 15 second time with a scope. The measured voltages are the high and low values during that time. I can go back through my notes for other voltages if needed.


CPU Voltage (Set in BIOS - 1.49375):

Measured
Idle - 1.492 min, 1.500 max
Load - 1.532 min, 1.536 max

Displayed by software
Idle - 1.501
Load - 1.548


CPU/NB (Set in BIOS - 1.25000):
Idle - 1.252 min, 1.260 max
Load - 1.264 min, 1.268 max

Displayed by software
Idle - 1.250
Load - 1.290

Those 2 are the most important ones...
Nice to know it's still in the 10-50 Millivolt range and shouldn't be a problem.
I assume you had LLC on for the IMC and Vcore.

Thanks Praz!
