I saw that earlier, over at amdmb. Just wish Asus would list what it does.

 

[bap4201]

i'm going to flash to it and see.

I hope it's not in German

 

[FastEddie]

No. It's just that the German site posts all the updates first, going all the way back to Asus 486 offerings. I FTP the German site.

flashed to it, seems fine! When I downloaded it, it was named 1003sd.006

I renamed it: "1003-006.BIN" and this changed it to the typical "bin" file.

seems to work ok. Will know more w/ testing. But flash went fine and the memory issues where it would lock up on certain mem settings is now fine.

 

[bap4201]

no it's not in German!

bap4201,

Does it solve the "can't go over 240MHz on RAM at 1T" problem?

I hope that this issue can be fixed with a simple BIOS update.

 

[bap4201]

don't know haven't tried oc'ng just yet.

 

[Lightingguy]

How about fiixing the CPU voltage issues (see the A8nSLI)?

 

[jdogg707]

I flashed to it earlier today and it allowed me to go over 2.6GHZ for the first time. I haven't tried 1:1 yet.

 

[anox3]

Just updated. Thanks for the post.

 

[bap4201]

sure, seems to be pretty good.

 

[bap4201]

works great, try the link!

 

[Lightingguy]

This BIOS doesn't solve the CPU voltage settings issue. Any others of you having this prob too?

 

[bap4201]

oh well, still seems better than 005

 

[pudds]

seems to be increasing my overclock now priming at 2527mhz with ram at 230mhz 2-3-3-6 on a 3200+

Yes, everyone, it seems.

I'm going to Ghost my drive, flash it now, then I'll let you know if I can OC past 240. Check back here in a couple of hours.

Nope, it doesn't. It's just as crap as before for OCing.

 

[DavidHull]

I second that. I just tested it and the 240 mhz memory barrier (at 1T) and voltage problems are still there. I hope this isn't a problem with the board. Asus has about a month or so, until the DFI board is available at decent prices, to fix this problem.

I hope it's BIOS-fixable otherwise A8V's history will repeat again. I still have a fond memory of owning 3 A8V boards: rev1.02 with no lock, rev1.02 with lock but only by beta bios and finally rev2.0 where the lock is supported by official bios.

Come on ASUS, please do a better job, or change your advertisement to something like: "Asus, the first to get it out but the last to get it right!!!"

Did anyone have a problem with AI booster showing the fsb as 0 mhz (but showing the cpu mhz correctly) ? sometimes it's showing the fsb as 2 mhz (??), also the voltage setting is not the same as the in the bios sometimes. Did anyone try the divider settings above DDR400, like the DDR500, etc ? This may increase the memory speed beyond the fsb's which should help a lot if you have fast memory.
