ASUS Striker Extreme offical 1401 BIOS 2008/1/10 released

[jvandecar]

First a DOA S2F, rma in progress, now a SE that won't let me set the multiplier to 9 on a E8400.

I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, but there IS a sticker on the box that says 45nm supported, am I wrong to expect it to work as advertised?

Asus, you were the manufacturer of the first motherboard I ever bought, back in 1999, and I feel a certain amount of loyalty, but your credibility is dropping.

Get on it.

Did PMP leave us flat? I was hoping he would hook us up with the 1503. Last I heard Asus is on a Chinese holiday and won't be back until the 20th.

PMP, oh where art thou??????

I have 1503 but haven't tested it yet so update at your own risk.

Now I'm torn between using the 1503 or 1502.. I wonder what's the difference between the two and the previous 1502 alpha (if there's any)....

[Dougz]

Right, now which one should we use for SLI ? Has the SE1502 been fixed ?

[Bloke]

There are reports in the Asus forum that SLI in 1503 is working.... I can't test it in this system yet my other card isn't here :P

Asus is really playing games on us...... I'm at the brink of selling this mobo..

[RADCOM]

Bioses are like Buses you wait ages then two come along lol i have a back up Bios chip courtesy http://bios-repair.co.uk/about.htm so I can play chicken!

[Bloke]

Yay! Good for you! But I'm not flashing my BIOS yet. RMAing this part of the world on Asus is effed! It's a wait and see for me at the moment.... see who gets a successful flash first - or a dead one... lolz!

[Leeghoofd]

At www.hardwareluxx.de peeps are confirming 1503 fixed the SLI issue and the bios is clocking well with E8xx series... I'll have a Striker board to mess with in the coming weeks ( go go Gizmo ) I'll flash then and see what it can do with quads... ( q6600 and qx9650 )

some of the screenies there :

1502 doesn't support SLI and 1503 supports and corrects a few other thigs I can't remember. I will be flashing this weekend, don't get excited, I am talking about my BIOS.

[OBR]

1502 is official release, will be in few hours/days on official webpage ... i am sure SLI works great with this 1502 build ...

[ALLSTARR]

1502 From asus ftp = SLI doesnt work
1503 =>SLI finally works!!! Intel E8500 works
but temp is idle 55° wich is not normal i guess.Anyone the same issue?
What can i do?

[Leeghoofd]

Prolly ignore it and let it be read out via coretemp or such utilities...

[Bloke]

can anyone confirm if they can flash back to older BIOS say 1401 or 1303 after flashing to either of these 150x? Thanks!

[RADCOM]

you can't from 1501 hence my new Bios chip :P I had read on another forum that it was possible but I wasn't able to!

[mussadek]

yes, u can go bake to older BIOS just use the Dos flash program and the command /f .

ex: flash.exe /f1401.bin

kewl I only found this out the other day; I tried the from file method and got the message " No turning back now sukka" I eventually bought another BIOS chip from grains he also reflashed the original. At least I can experiment now in the knowledge I have backup lol Bit like buying a gigabyte board

[Chillygoose]

!503 works good. I have an E8400 with SLI. I have clocked from 3.0 to 4.0 with just FSB change. It will go higher but experienced some tearing on benchmarks. I will burn it in awhile and try to push it.

Bottome line 1503 works well with SLI.

[x-sector]

any fsb issues with alpha 1503 ?

i will flash on weekend to 1503 .. cuz trying to get a stable fsb above > 500.
currently i stuck on ~ 472Mhz .. on bios 1303 .. (bios 1305 sh*t .. 1401 sh*t)

1. Fixed system cannot display with Ati680 VGA with class 0380 (before VGA 0300)
2. Fixed system may hang at POST with dual SLI capable Graphic card installed due to over wasting of IO resource.
3. Add new LCD POSTER string "EN SETUP" when entering setup menu.

anyone had a chance to overclock with 1503 around the 3-3.2 mark.

at the mo im stuck at 2.92, 2.8 (q6600 G0) & was unstable but 2.92 is solid as a rock with 1401, any bios below that and the pc wouldnt do a windows restart without hanging before POST

i think the 1401 x-fi fix solved that, hence me not wanting to go back to 1301 or 1303 to hit 3ghz with 333fsb

i keep hearing abou this 8x multi and 400fsb to get 3.2 but the pooters never POSTed at those settings.

will 1503 do the trick ?

my voltages compare to most hitting 3.6ghz and i have not backed them off yet as im enjoying the stability

[GoNz0]

1503 has let me boot at 3ghz with 1333 fsb, running prime and 3dmark without a crash yet so its better than 1401 as i couldnt post at 1333

no post at 1600fsb with a 8x multi tho

i decided to go for it now the bios is showing on the asus website.

[GoNz0]

i got a hardware fail at 3ghz
