Yeah i have already seen this over at XS. I?m not going to flash this over 0507, i dont see it improving anything to be honest. From an OC perspective.

Am I understanding this bios release correctly? ASUS has now made it possible to both lower the CPU multiplier and raise it? For the P5B of course.

That's what it sounds like (and what was reported in an earlier Anandtech article)...I'll be able to confirm or refute soon enough though.

And of course, if it's true, the value of the X6800 over the other 4MB cache chips will have basically gone to nil, if the new BIOS gives all of them unlocked multipliers.

anyone tried this BIOS yet? I was thinking about giving it a try and seeing if it unlocked the multi or not. I'm thinking not.

Although in my case it wouldn't do anything special really. I can run 400FSB and 7x multy for 2.8Ghz and memory 1:1 at 5-5-5-12 or even 8x multi for 3.2Ghz

Flashed to 614, my multiplier did not unlock upwards. Cannot find any differences over the 609 variant (in fact, I didn't even have to modify any of my settings, I just flashed and everything stayed correctly set).

Edit: also, 0 change as far as overclocking stability is concerned between 609 and 614.

Anyone know if the P5W's bios allows for the supposedly possible upward unlocking? And in general what does 'lucky enough to have a chip that does' mean? Is there some small difference/set of the e6300-e6700 that have been proven to unlock on this bios upward or are we just talking the e6800?

I think this upward unlocked multi is to do with the ES chips, as some have the capability of fully unlocked mutli?s. Obviously you need the correct BIOS to utilise this ability on a given unlocked ES chip.

Much better for overclocking for me, E6600 - was @ real wall at 333 fsb, couldn't Orthos more than 1 min, no matter how I high I manually set Vcore, Vdimm etc etc

Now with new bios, gradually increasing to see how far I can get, currently at 343 fsb, and Orthos stable (>20minutes) - and at Vcore of 1.35V :)

Mark.

I seriously don't believe there is any upward unlocking. It's just an exaggeration. The article got carried away. The same way it been said that 975X overclock better than 965 which we know isn't the case. How can the article still state 975X still oc better when it been maxing out at 420-450fsb and continued to state that. Yet many 965 reached 500+ I smell disinformation. Hmmmmm
