Hi Raja,

Is this bios tuned for BD? I only played with it for a few hours, but had some strange results on my Thuban (1055).

The biggest quirk was the inability to use TurboV to raise HTRef >280. Don't get me wrong, I could set it higher, but
the actual clock didn't raise. This was verified by CPU-Z and actual performance tests...
The other thing was it appeared to be running my ram in single channel mode, again as shown by CPU-Z (vers 1.58).
I didn't bother to performance test the mem, but I wasn't able to achieve the same clocks anyway, so I flashed back to 0402.
Overall, I just had alot strange things happening on Thuban with 0705, including the need for hard CMOS resets a couple times.

On a bright note, I backed up 0402 on my bios flash drive before I installed 0705 and when I flashed it back
it kept all my OC settings and everything is back to normal.

Thanks....... Dave

Setup:
1100t x6
RipJaws 1600, 7.8.7 24 2t 1.5v, 4GB

I had same issue with single channel, but it was due to the Bios only seeing one stick of RAM. Then after a reboot it was back to 2 sticks. When in windows, I had CPU-Z showing one of the sticks of RAM having a 10.8.10 24 timing for the XMP profile. The sticks are identical. After a couple reboots, it was finally normal and has been stable. I am only running 3.8ghz/4.2ghz(turbo) on stock voltages.

That's not bad Jay, but you know me... I don't use Turbo and I tend to push things farther than what's reasonable sometimes.
Since I'm running a chip with locked multi's the HTRef thing was the biggest problem.

Like I said, I only played with 0705 for a few hours and the results on a locked chip wern't very good.
Nice clocks BTW for stock v's! I hope 0705 holds up for ya!

Personally though, I'll stick with 0402 on this 1055 for the time being....

I tried some HT Ref OCing and had same issues with the RAM. I was going to see if I could do 300+.

On a side note, if anyone was wondering, the "Hot Swap" setting for all SATA ports is no longer called this, it is now called eSATA, but does the exact same thing.

Edit, I moved RAM to different slots and 300ht Ref was no issue.

...I moved RAM to different slots and 300ht Ref was no issue.

Which slots?

[charged3800z24]

Which slots?

The darker ones. I had 8GB in at one time and pulled the ones from the darker slots. So I just moved the current ones over to them.
