Praz Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 The Venus was optimized for 2 or 4 1x2GB of memory. Running anything else you're right. Should have got a different board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joek71 Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 I cant donwload the new BIOS, says forbidden, can some please give the new bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 DFI Expert 04.11.06 is the new bios. I think it reads like this 04.11.06 is the 4th of November 2006.........the 10.07.06 is the 10th of July 2006. But if you really want the 10.07.06 then you can get it here http://download.yousendit.com/63E4B970489CC227 But you can also go to Tmod's Bios Boot disc thread and download his 8.5 disc which includes the Merlin 10.07.06 bios and is probably the safest method of flashing your bios. It doesnt yet have the 04.11.06 bios on it yet!!! Logan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
agenthex Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Sorry for asking a n00b question, but I have a Expert board, and I was wondering if the BIOS has more to do with stability given a higher frequency. I have a Opty 165 at 2.3GHz with the FSB at 289MHz. The multiplier is 8x because Prime95 fails stability check at 9x. I was curious if a BIOS update might enhance stability enough that I may run at 9x with no floating-point errors. I'm only asking because I'm not home to test, and I hesitate to stir up problems given that my system is currently stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Esau Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 No such thing as a bad question dude! But I will say this Merlin makes a awesome bios the one I have is much better than the official 4/6/06 and is much more forgiving with problematic ram Like the infineon based OCZ 2X512 Platinum for a really good example and his bios was the only one that wouuld work with those sticks!

Brother Esau Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 Ummmm did we ever find out anything about what he did on the new bios...anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserred Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Has anyone tried this BIOS with Micron 5B-F chips? I have a set of TCCD DDR600 in my backup board, but if I can get it in my Expert and crank it up past 320@1:1 that would be awesome for the benchmarks. The highest I have gotten the Micron stuff stable at is the high-260 range, anything faster fails Prime or won't work with max OC because of divider # problems. Thx!

If somethin' ain't workin' right in it, it's probably the part, not the board LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
