uwackme Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Freaky as all hell. In the fooling around with the Corsair XMS3202 v1.1 BH6 sticks, I pulled them, put my BH5 back in and restarted..... Works perfectly....and no dropouts. The only way in HELL that can happen is if the SPD rom on the Corsair is telling the system something that the SPD rom on the Kingston isn't!!!! Ive always pondered HOW there can be much of a difference between DIMMs of BH5, OCZ/Corsair/Mushkin/Kingston since they all use the same chips, and they al speedbin the same, its really not a matter of hand selection, etc. Ahhhhh but the SPD rom...hmm. Anyone know of a program that can read the full contents of the SPD rom? CPUZ reads a bit, but not the full content, Ive read both reports from CPUZ and nothing sticks out as relavent. nyway, played FarCry for hours with NO dropouts on my BH5 after the swap. No doubt the second I save a change to the bios again, it will revert back and be dropping at hightemp/highfsb. yes it is KHX3000 BH5....D328DW-45 dated 0304.

uwackme Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I think this is really important for all us Kingston users, they left something OUT of the SPD, and the bios default for whatever it is the Corsair/Mushkin/etc tell the bios/motherboard is really important to getting the MAX out of our rams. Anyone know a SPD reading program....the full rom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tictac Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Originally posted by Hellfire Hey Tictac, do you think you can help me? I figured that the award bios does not take into account isa roms any more, so therefore I wasn't able to apply the patch, can I just inject the code before the epa procedure just like what you did to turn cpc off on the nf7? When I tried it, it booted correctly but the register in WPCREDIT still has not changed. Can you take a look at the code for me? i only tested isa rom on nf7 board... not sure about dfi bios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcillig Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I tried the LP version and Maybe im dinig something wrong but when I flash to your bios then I cant boot at my regular settings, or my saved configuration.. I can only boot at optiminal settings... I get a page error with my saved settings.... I get this same problem with the 6-19-04 bios also. I used winflash to flash, can someone tell me how to resolve this, maybe winflash is the problem ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elts_drac Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Yep, using Reloaded settings from a previous BIOS revision can dork the chip up beyond belief!!! Definitely do not rely on reloaded in those situations!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the best way to blow away old "Reloaded" profiles? Use the backup command to force a copy of your current setup? Thanks.
