    You absolutely sure on that? I'm only raising the question....well, because I'm getting 23c idle/28c full-tilt on what you see in my sig.....on a AX-7 + a Tornado.

    If that's the case, and they are truly accurate....well....looks like 2500mhz isn't the barrier for me anymore.

    Ya they knocked off about 10 degrees off the temps alot more accurate now. I have a temp probe right next to my cpu die and its 1 degree warmer than what bios says.
    I got her working good agian this bios is little wierd with the mem timings now. But I got her running at 230x11 and the mem timings at 4,2,2,2 and passed 3dmark with no problem and before it would not pass at 227 so diffenitly alot better there. Seems very stable at first it was f00ked but you just have to mess with the mem timings and voltages. And of coarse it goes up to 300fsb in bios not that I need it but someone might. There's alot of changes like fsb/ram has auto now, shows that your running dual channel, and a bunch of other little things I like. I hope this is enough info for you guys,lol.

    I think it is indeed from abit

    Cause the changes...

    3. Fixed SATA RAID-0 data corruption issue by adding a new option "EXT-P2P's
    Discard Time" in "integrated Peripherals". The default setting is "30 us"
    ; which is recommended by NVidia. In case the problem is still there, try
    "1 ms" please.
    4. Changed DDR400 DRAM timing according to NVidia's recommendation.
    5. Updated BPL to v3.01 according to NVidia's recommendation.

    It must be...

    Yeah temps are fixed now, looks like a 10C drop. It also seems more stable at high FSB, now priming away at 240FSB, maybe 250FSB next? And I love the option to have 300FSB but I doubt I'll get there anytime soon Now I wonder if there going to adjust for the VCore undervolting? But if they don't, I really don't care since I have alot of head room anyways,

    Question Anyone noticed if it works better with ya hyperX?

    I got the impression that maybe the changes in the pc3200 timings recommended by nvidia have sth to do with our issue. Could boot into windows at 225 dual and do sandra mem benches but complete no 3dmark - flaky at the beginning and dropping me bach to desktop.

    But at 215 I could prime 1,5hours without a hickup, but 3dm2k1 dropped me at nature test. Weired...

    WTH did they do?

    Flashed it as well. Running fine but about the same as with the earlier bios. If you check the fsb options now we have 234 and 235 which were missing before.

    I tried things like 270 and 6/5 ram dividers, but my setup definitely don't boot like that....

    I didn't take much notice of that. Will have to have a look later. However I don't think so.

    It would just be great if the cpu v-core didn't under volt so much. I still get up to .1 of a volt under at times of high load. Maybe if there were better caps at the mosfets. Another mod in the making..

    [LORD EDIT: Before I forget. Mickey, volts are 2, 2.03, 2.06. Just to be different]
