ASUS AMD Beta BIOS Releases

[NEOAethyr]

Ya I'm serious...

250mhz pcie is easy on dfi boards.
Though I thaught 250mhz was to low of a speed, but stuck at 150mhz is much worse.
I could actually use more pci/pcie speed though.

I'm on stock cooling right now.

Ya my 240gt's heatsink is to big, but if the slots were just 1mm taller it would be alot better.
I know it's way to late to change that but in the future, it would be nice to have a slightly taller pcie slot.
They are alot shorter then the pci slots...

Spread spectrum, I use this...
Hence why I want the rest of it, I know there's more hidden away...

I don't see why nb speeds over 3ghz are so hard to get.
My voltage I think is 1.125v for the cpu-nb or close to that.
I need around 1.4v to boot into windows at higher speeds :\.
I know something can be done about that.


Stability...
I'm unsure if it's my board or my psu.
I can pass s&m normal length 2 times in a row, prime, intelburn test, superpi, etc, all np.
But when it comes to vga, certain things just screw up on my system.
I've tried 2 diff cards, both worked 100% in my dfi.

I'm getting another psu in a few months though, a corsair or seasonic I'm not sure which yet.
But what do I do if the psu isn't the problem ?
Throw the $250 board in the garbage because I can't return it ?

I've already tried every voltage, speed setting that there is.
I still crash even at lower then stock speeds.
Even disabled spread spectrum settings, tried everything I think.

My stability went from 100%, no crashes even on vga, on my stock bios 801.
When I flashed the 905, I lost that stability.
I was never able to get it back fully.
Even when I flashed back.

At 1st, cpu-nb voltage needed to be adjusted.
But my mem wasn't 2000mhz stable.
I dn what I did but that eventually came back.

But my vga is still wacked :\.
Yes I've tried lower pci-e speeds...
It helps a little on my 240gt.
But not at all on my 8600gt.
My 240gt needs a tiny bit more pcie voltage, then it's stable.
But still less reliable then the 8600gt.

My psu voltages look ok, I can't remember where exactly they are at, around 12.10 or 12.16v.
It fluctuates around 0.01v which is decent enough.

I haven't tried using 2 psu's at once, but I only have 4 crappy fans running anyways.
I'm using maybe 20w's max on my fans.
That may make up the 30w's diff between the 8600gt and the 240gt, but if power is my issue, then it won't fix it by taking a measly 20w's off my load.


When I got the ch4, it was another 2-3 months before the extreme was mentioned to go retail.
I sat with money in my pocket for 3-4 months waiting for the extreme to come out, figure it wouldn't so I got the formula.
Now only a few months later diff sites out there are saying that the extreme has gone retail.
I'de pay another $50 to swap this board if I could.
Pretty darn pricey, but I'm not gonna stick with a mid range board if there's a better one out there with the same chipset.


Mem stability wise...
I can do 2133 memtest stable at 8-9-7 cmd1.
2000mhz, so close to stable at 8-9-6 cmd1.

Cpu clocking wise I don't see much of a problem, with a decent heatsink I could clock higher.
I've got my cpu voltage to the lowest ratio it will allow in the bios.
And to be onest it much higher then what I need for voltages :\.

Everest benches:
12k, 10k and 17k for mem bandwith right now.
I've got the mem in single chan mode.
...

Oh, dual chan mode has a hard time working at fsb speeds past 240mhz...
Forgot to mention that, that was kind of important.
The ganged mode thing...

Edit:
Getting a new psu and vga card in a few months.
Going for a nv 465.
I only get $80 a month to collect up on though for it'll take a few.
Cigs and weed cost money too...
Getting the new psu 1st though.
Should only take me 2 months ^^ :\.

My list is quite small considering what I want in the bios.
I only mentioned the important things ^^.
