"BIOS does not match onboard, press any key to reboot" - Asus A7V333, EZflash :(

[randomboy]

I just d/l'ed BIOS 1013 for my A7V, did Alt+F2 to get into the EZflash utility (I'm using BIOS rev1008 currently), and I type in my file name for the new BIOS at the command like your supposed to, and all I get is this message, wtf

Thankfully everything still works anyways

LOL, I'm a dumbass, I typed the filename incorrectly, I guess I'll go give it another shot, with 1014, which just came out about 3 minutes ago

What's the scoop on 1014?

 

[randomboy]

I dunno, I'm not liking it, so far it dropped my idle CPU temps 10C, which obviously means it tricked MBM 5 into reading the goddamn socket thermistor instead of the REAL temp

I'm not sure yet, I'm just testing out some stuff now, torture testing to see what the temps will do, and then I'm off to OC land

Rev1008 = cpu idle 52C, load 59-60C
Rev1014 = cpu ilde 43C, load 53C

I was previously stuck at 166fsb with my XP1500 AGOIA, but the way it just absolutely ran into a wall at 167, yet had no problems whatsoever at 166 made me think this is "a little chip that could" So with the new update, and new support for 166fsb chipsets, I'm gonna go see if I can get this sumbitch booted at 1.7ghz

Be back with the news in a bit!

It was the old BIOS holding my OC back!! woo hoo, FSB for everyone! I'm booted now at 10x167, just to see if I could, now to see how high I can go before it maxes, or my temps get too high

Cool! Keep us posted on how high she goes

Crapped out at 10x170, doing fine at 169fsb so far

Its not a big deal, but I still wish on bootup, my BIOS would either say XP 2000+ or 1690mhz, not XP 1500+

And I have a PAL8045 comin tomorrow, I think this should be beneficial towards my OC as opposed to the TT Volcano 7 I'm running now
