ah_khoo Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Has anybody had problems stabilizing 2GB kits on this board.I have 1 pair of Crucial Ballistix Tracer pc4000 & 1 of Gskill HZ PC4000. I've tested them on an NF4 of a friend and they go much higher and stabilize better... Wich is the best BIOS for 2GB kits. I'm using 711. [] You mite try 8/24 BIOS as it favors Sandy/Opty chips mate. Other than having problem running RAM @ > 280ish MHz with 1T, this board has been great to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than having problem running RAM @ > 280ish MHz with 1T, this board has been great to me. Well, I've tried the 824. Didn't get any better. And now I have a problem. Can't get the FSB lower than 216. This BIOS sucks... But I already knew that... I don't want to risk updating the BIOS with the rig on OC. Any sugestions? Anybody... :confused: [] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

getterflash Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Is this the secret to getting bios settings to work? I have had no luck at all with any bios except the original. So the sequence would be: Flash new bios Shut down, disconnect power Clear CMOS disconnect the SATA drive Power up Boot into bios Make bios changes Save changes reboot into bios Shut down, disconnect power Connect SATA drive power up Boot into windows I have been searching for the definitive sequence to solve the no post problem when trying to use any bios except the original.

No, you won't be able to run @ 1T. The only boards that do that with the four slots occupied are the eXpert and the RDX200.

RGone Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Flash new biosShut down, disconnect power Clear CMOS disconnect the SATA drive Power up Boot into bios Load Optimized Defaults Save changes reboot into bios and make necesssary changes a few at a time. With save and reboot between changes. Changes that are "no go" in memory timings will result in head ache... Shut down, disconnect power (if you like, I usually do nothing but shutdown and hook up sata drive power and I never even unhook the SATA data cables only power.)
