Anyone try it yet ?

[BlindFreddie]

Maybe it's been asked before, but I can't find it ...

Sometimes I set my BIOS overclock settings to a lower FSB speed or higher Vcore than I think the machine will run at, so that I can POST and get into the BIOS in case of a crash. (Note that when you make runtime changes under ET6, thay are not saved into the BIOS, unlike the action of the equivalent but almost-useless Asus AI Suite utility) Then I will set faster FSB/lower Vcore etc. at runtime using ET6. Sometimes I want ET6 to set things automatically at Windows boot time, and I have tried the "Auto load last save on next reboot" option in the right-click menu of the ET6 icon in the system tray.

However, I can't find where ET6 stores the data that it uses when it does the auto-restore. I have saved parameters under the default filename "profile.etf" and other names (on the D: partition, not C: ), but it restores settings from somewhere else that I may have saved many months ago, that are now way too fast for my now tired & aging CPU. Explorer search can't find any .etf files other than the ones I know about.

Where is ET6 getting these phantom settings? The registry? If so, where? Why aren't the settings it uses being updated when I do a save? Anyone ... ?

Already 2 weeks ago.

damn still updating the UD3P, what does that fix?

[radaja]

damn still updating the UD3P, what does that fix?

i know,i cant believe they still need to fix anything
im still running F4 on my rev 1.0
it just seems to work best for me

[NoGuru]

I think is was SSD comparability.

F4 Well that was good for SuperPi runs but I likes F9 a lot.

[OLDcomer]

I like F9 too, but radaja and NoGuru made me curious about F4 and I'm gonna check this F4 SuperPi magic.

[Hoss331]

If your wanting to try F4 go with F4-4 and not the regular F4.

yea i use the regular F4 and not hicookies E8600 F4 superPi bios
but i use F$ mainly because it works fine and i dont have to always enable
usb mouse and keyboard support after loading optimal defaults.

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P out of retirement
Decided to bring her out for one more round and make her my htpc / lan
so i bought new HAF 912 with a Corsiar H70 " yes I know lame " for a intel e8400
running so far at 4050 stable . . 4 4 4 10 going to push this weekend for 4250 hopefully , is this new bios worth getting ?

System being tweaked


New Case

Nothing lame bout the H70 unit man, I love mine !!

Very nice T !!!

btw nice lab so much space there to work

shhhhhh dont mention assucks you are on the giga forum bud

h70 you became a lazy clocker leeg

sorry to offend . . . actually is a great little unit for people wanting some better cooling . . Ive done 3 clients computers with it

Thanks Sergio , Im a mad scientist with my Lab over here great for modding when I'm not being lazy overclocker

Testing the CoolIT's now :p

Dino told me that at GOOC 2010 I was pro Asucks, I was shocked

[OLDcomer]

I will try F4-4 when I've got time. The regular F4 doesn't seem to be performing as good as my favourite f9 bios. That's what I call magic:

3*C outside last night...decided to see what this old beauty still had left in her...was quite surprised

[yavor]

Wanna know if there is some difference in OCing with different BIOS versions on EP45-UD3 rev.1? Currently i'm using F8.
I've installed some sinks on the VRM elements click but the one on the right (under the PSU when mobo installed in the case) was too big for my case, so i had to cut it off in half. Now it's only the low half which is on the VRM elements. For the chipset i use the stock cooling. Now i have the following questions: my CPU is Q6600 (very hot and high power consumption... likes the high vCore ) and the mobo is just 6-phase so how much vCore is safe for 24/7 using? I think that everything than 1.4 is getting too hot but i woud like to hear other suggestions. The other thing is the NB - it's getting very hot at only 1.16V, how much can i set in BIOS for safe using?

[cincyrob]

hey guys. been awhile for me to post, been busy with work. i just got some new kingston hyperX ddr28500 1066 mem and i cant seem to get them to run at 1066 specs. would anyone mind looking over my settings and tell me what i might need to change?
here is the mem i just got

Try changing these settings (under DRAM Performance Control) :

(G)MCH Frequency Latch ---------------- : [400] change to 333
System Memory Multiplier --------------- : [2.00D] change to 2.00B

[cincyrob]

if i go from 2.00D to 2.00B that wont get it closer to 1066mhz? will it?
i will run fine and pass all test at the 2.00D strap and mem running at 902mhz, but wont boot past giga logo screen any higher.

[Jupiler]

Memory speed with strap at 333 or 400 and Memory multiplier at 2.00B or 2.00D will be the same, eq. 902Mhz.

Set the strap (MCH Frequency Latch) at 333 and try the Multiplier at 2.40B, that will give you 1082Mhz.
I've always used the 333 strap, as it was harder achieving higher memory speeds when using the 400 strap.

[cincyrob]

ok ill give that a try now. i left the mch freq latch in auto and just changed the multiplier to 2.00D/2.00B ect... ill change both.

[cincyrob]

well that didnt work. i looked in PC health and it show the DDR18v as only being 1.905v and in the settings i have it as 2.20v i increased it to 2.40v same thing happend so i increased it 1 step at a time up to 2.80v just before it went red. and then i couldnt get it to even go into bios settings.i had to take this mem out and put back in my gskill to get it to go into bios to change the volts back to 2.20v and im now running back at the only setting these sticks are working at. 2.00D at 902mhz. im half tempted to just clear cmos and start from the beginning. i need to find some sound settings for this mem and board and go from scratch. like a new build/
