NF3 - Beta BIOS 3/31/2005


Recommended Posts

from TW:

 

Hi! Robert,

 

Attached please find the latest version of beta BIOS dated 2005/03/31 for your customer’s trial. As described in previous mail, we implement the previous solution that had been applied on nF4. We can not verify whether it works since we can never simulate out the symptom. If this version of BIOS does not work, we still need customer’s USB card Reader for simulation if solution is still required. We can not find the card reader that would cause the system booting problem when being connected.

 

Travis,

 

We will process this version of BISO through ECR verification. What we will test is whether there’s side effect after implementing the solution of booting failure upon also connecting USB devices as that being applied on nF4. After completing the verification by QA and DVT, ECO will be finalized and the BIOS will be posted on normal site.

 

Best,

 

HH

angry, major props to the tw gang as well as yourself. over the last month or two, you (as well as rg) have been dealing with my ranting on the usb nf3 boot issue that i have had. just loaded this bad boy up and pulled a stick of tccd out.(my boot issue was with two sticks not three)

 

well what do you know? computer boots up just fine with my usb external maxtor drive attached and two tccd sticks of memory. soft restart from windows moves straight through. cold boot does one round of restarting at f10 array screen then has no problem moving through.(not sure why it needs one reset to get through off cold boot.) in any case it is booting without having to unplug the usb drive and i am very very happy.

 

thanks a whole bunch for working on this issue with the guys over in tw. tell them customers really do appreciate their work. dfi's support, hardwork, and killer overclocking boards have made a lifelong customer out of me. again thanks.

 

oh yeah and one last thing to those reading. memtest 1.55 is on this bios!!!

 

update: played around with my booting some more. still have a hard time booting past the f10 array when i am attempting to squeeze a little more clock speed.(overclocking past what i know to def be stable) pulling out the usb hard drive lets me boot more than often. however the 250x10 is now booting fine (what my stable clocks are with two sticks of tccd) so i am happy.(this would not boot before at these speeds) in any case i will update more if needed.

Same, i'm noticing absolutely no performance difference.

Maybe 50MB/sec extra Memory Bandwidth in sandra, but that could just be all the tweaking i'm doing on my new RAM :)
