Set my bios at..

cas 2
trcd 2
tras 5
trp 3

Ran memtest 86 for 45 mins and got 1 pass and 0 errors.. looking good.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

thats good jimbo, if you do custom test selection in memtest you can run a single test and perform isolation tests such as test 5 and 8

New bios out 1.70, added support for new CPU card, seems to have cured the 1T bug for some people.

just got this motherboard today,havent had the chance to install it yet. do i need to update the bios for it to support the AMD X2 4400+?what software is included aswel?

 

[lee87]

It will work fine with the X2 without a bios update.

I think you get norton internet security included but i'm not sure as I haven't looked at the disc properly.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

some macafee disk i think i didn;t bother with it.

Check your bios, I find that when I get the cold boot issue that some things in the bios have reset, specifically the cpu vcore, and something everything is reset. Maybe something like that has reset giving you instability issues.

 

[cocker92]

whats the most stable bios version at moment?

 

[Jimbo]

I'm finding v1.60 stable if thats any good.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

bsods mean you haven;t tested your pc properly for stability so your either getting memory errors or you cpu is not stable.

seen it all the time. people clock like mad and get into windows and assume that means its stable.

 

[swanseajack]

Anyone tried the new chipset drivers that where released by ULI?

Any improvments?

HI M8, just to let you know that i purchased my setup about 5 months ago, and had bsods then (nothing overclcocked). the mobo was sent as it appeared defective (allother hardware was tested by engineer) its been ok, up until now. and its still not overclocked, so thats not the issue

like i said, its been ok for 3-4 months

No obvious signs of any extra performance here with the 2.20 intergrated drivers. No problems either.

(tip) The ULI link on their drivers page (ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Integrated220.rar) is wrong, use - ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Integrated220.zip.rar instead.

[Jimbo]

Hmmm? wtf is going on here??

 

[Jimbo]

I really dont want to have to reformat windows.. god no.

 

[swanseajack]

Mine is the same as your picture, everything is there.

Got no idea how to test if it's USB 2 or not but I've had no problems with anything USB.
