crap i just screwed up my bios 1

it wont overclock bclk anymore
aka wont do the shutdown restart thingy anymore
even when flashing bios
since i can only use from 1204-1298 and 1303 atm

even using 2nd bios at bios 6xx and with it reflashing the irog firmware
1st bios is a no go

anybody got a solution??

You probably pressed Q-Reset button? When you do that, it screws bioses power management part inside the bios and you have to buy a new bios chip or reprogram it with EEPROM.

No other way to fix it

eh 2nd bios works fine

q-reset

u mean the clear cmos?? at the i/o panel??

cause never pressed the reset or power button on the mobo ever

[quake6]

No, this one

It screws only one bios and that is the one which was used when you pressed it

[cstkl1]

nope never pressed that.. where the heck is that.

[quake6]

Then you didn't followed the instruction on how to flash bios. That is two known reason when you can't change bclk. Maybe you did something else, but that is what I know as I pressed q-reset and got the new bios chips from ASUS

owikh84...

The condition of that RMA exchanged board is kind of "bogus"!!

I guess the best way to ensure a new board is to do an RMA/exchange with the original retailer. It so happened that B3's were already out when I purchased mine but I still have a dead TP67XE that I'm waiting to exchange at Micro Center when ever they get the B3 versions back in stock.

I also have a perfectly functioning B2 ASRock Pro Fat that I bought second hand on the classifieds and the only way to get a B3 is to RMA direct with ASRock. Now I'm wondering what kind/condition board I'll end up with when (if) I RMA it?

it happened after i change a proc.
and its farnny 14 proc change no issue at the 15th hit home run
hmm was needing a b3 replacement anyway.

darn this b2 was going quite strong so far.

Changed some memory stuff
added Memory timings:
I/O Latency + RTL Offset

can play with it with oc memory... [/quote]

I have voltage problem with stock settings on 2600K

once in idle voltage automatically drop to 0.9v. Now i have all the time 1.264v



I check many bios and still to be high voltage in idle
What it might be the reason?

If clearing CMOS with the power supply switch turned off won't work, then the ONLY thing you can do is remove, check cpu pins again ,and reinsert. This helped someone else...

Hi guys, is it possible to flash the bios1 while runing on bios2 ?

Also, do you get weird usb 3.0 ports behaviour ?
In fact, I lost 4 usb 3.0 ports, after a normal cold boot like everyday, tried many things to solve issue, finally I switched bios ( with the little red button ) and magical ports came to life ... any explications ?

PS: english not my maternal language.

[seba84_2005]

You can't flash bios 1 if You runing on bios 2. But You can flashback any bios with USB ROG Connect.

1: Download any bios:
2: Rename to m4e.ROM
3: Paste to USB Pendrive bios file and turn off PC
4: Plug pendrive to USB ROG Connect
5: Pres and hold over 5 sec ROG button. You can see the bios 1 led is blinking.
6: Wait to finish (the bios led stop blinking)

I flashback from bios 1303 to 1101 etc.

thnks seba always wondered about that
thought it could rescue my bios 1 but didnt.

I have this board waiting to get my new case before I put it in. Need help getting to 4.8ghz.

Unless you got a crappy CPU, just up the bclk to 100 and multiplier to 48x and set vcore to 1.450v to start with. If it's stable at speed, then you can try to lower the vcore for a cooler running CPU. What I find to be a little more comforting is use CPU Level Up to 4.6Ghz as the initial OC. Once it passed 12 hours of Prime95 at that speed, then do the manual OCing as I stated in the first two sentences.

[aoch88]

Any ideas what are the specific voltages that has to be increased for 5Ghz overclock apart from the Vcore? Most of them are left "AUTO" so some tweaking might probably help?

cstk1: Did you see my post?

yeah i did do that with 3 procs lol

no diff. this issue happened in bios after a series of changes and adding thumbdrives etc etc etc. with a newly installed cpu

i've taken ure suggestion and even when further by changing 3 different cpu's still nothing

bios 2 works fine

I can confirm that boards not running hyper at 2133 7-7-7 are just not good hyper. Popped some new cas7 2000 doms in and works like a charm up to 1100 7-7-7 for 32m

really so you just need the dank, no schwiggity schwoo, I bet GTX2's would do great then.

I have a set of STT 2000c7 that I am trying to sell and they are new, is it worth keeping them and trying them out?

probably not worth keeping as I havent heard of success with STT. I have the 2000c7 project-X and it is a no go for 32m
