Modded Bios


not sure if it is up to the pace yet.. but going to the right direction...

2sec faster in super pi 2m
10 sec faster in super pi 16M

[chew*]

LMK when its ready.

[Rolle2k]

tictac: so you can set tref directly in bios with your new modded version?

[Hazzan]

Nice result !!!

[Rolle2k]

266mhz ram vs. 296mhz ram..

what is now particularly to it? i dont understand..

[chew*]

The fact that he can actually be stable and pass with ram at 290+ i think is what the point is.....Abit's current bios is good for about 250-260 max memory stable......

here my best result with abit an8ultra bios 18

Sweet, thanks!

[Digg]

here the new official bios (20):

ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/an8/


BIOS release 2.0 for AN8, AN8-V,AN8-3rd Eye, AN8 Ultra, AN8 SLI, Fatal1ty AN8, Fatal1ty AN8 SLI

Release information:

[ENGLISH]

1. Support FX-60
2. Enhanced compatibility with certain USB devices
3. Enhanced compatibility with certain memories.
4. BIOS compiled date: 1/19/2006

[MaStA]

Well I read that it appears there was no change between beta and release of BIOS 20. Seems the compile dates are the same, so all that was changed is most likely the showing of bios 20 instead of 00 do not distribute or whatever. Tictac's bios is much better since it has more divider options and a few others. I'm liking it so far

[Kingsfan]

the beta bios 20 finally got my system stable! now i gotta try the modded bios, looks good so far

[ReelMonza]

Hey tictac, what is this hasan2.bin ISA module inside your image ?

[Hazzan]

Yes !! this Bios for me and national competion overclocking in my country !!

1) AN8_20-78us
- with tref @ 200MHz 7.8us
Download LInk: http://forum.abit-usa.com/attachment...chmentid=16398

2) AN8_20-156us
- with tref @ 200MHz 15.6us
Download Link:
http://forum.abit-usa.com/attachment...chmentid=16399

You can enable and disable the patch via bios menu...

As recomended by bigtoe... hope this tref gain you more bandwith

I wonder which one I should run. I am unfamiliar with what tref exactly is. Also, what is with the whole patch thing you mention? What does it have to do with the onboard LAN controller? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for the BIOS revisions!

Thanks,
Jared

try the 15,6us

that should work nice with 2x1GB UCCC stick
you have to enable lan controller to let the patch work
if you disable lan controller the patch wont work

make sure you also set in bios menu memory timing
max async latency to 10us
read preamble at 7.5us
drive strength weak
max by pass 7x

that should work best with your ram

[tictac]

here is the rest of timing for your 2x1gb Samsung UCCC memory
with tref at 15.6us

should be able to run up to 280MHz 1T

Nice. I will give it a shot tomorrow. Time to go to sleep now lol. Thanks for your help!

BTW what is the best way to test if memory is stable? Memtest? SuperPI?

Jared

[dinos22]

i would also test lower MAL and RP as they will hurt your performance

i can run them at 7/5 with a few different sticks of RAM at 280MHz HTT so try 7/5, 8/5, 8/6, 9/6..........really don't think you'd need to go past that.......
