Corathius Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Where are you getting these BIOS updates from? Forgive my noobness, but I checked the dfi website for bios downloads for my dfi nf4 sli-dr and it doesnt have these versions listed. Can someone clear this up for me? Im quite happy to be called an idiot if its completely obvious Ta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nil Einne Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Btw. i NEVER had any problems with non working devices like USB/LAN etc....also..you SHOULD not use the Marvell/Gigabit LAN anyway, it blows chunks ! (Uses far more resources and CPU than the NV LAN). While the Marvell LAN uses more resources then the Nvidia one, the drivers are far more stable and reliable. Who cares if your LAN is using less resources if it's causing your Windows to die every 30mins-2 hours? Besides, I suspect that for most users, who are only using 100mbits and even then they rarely even 5% of their total possible network throughput, the resource usage difference is minimal. Nvidia's firewall and LAN is a good concept but until and unless they vastly improve their drivers, it all comes to naught. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy1ear Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 My online games stuttered like crazy with the Nvidia ethernet driver, the Marvell driver does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Byron Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 What revision bios has had the best performance for the RAM i have listed below? -1, -2, or -3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suio Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 618-2 is looking good for my original BH-5 ram on 3000+ venice! Original - do you mean the Winbond BH-5? Check my sig, will 6/18-2 work with my OZC Gold? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshG Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 If the numbering conventions hold true for this series (and I doubt Oskar would change the convention without telling anyone, then; -1 is optimized for TCCD/TCC5 -2 is optimized for BH-5/UTT -3 is a general BIOS that should work well for most sticks regardless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_X Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Hi ... just tried the new 618`s 1, 2 & 3 ... no use for me. Can`t get the same OC Results I had before rock-stable for about 4 weeks. Prime/OCCT errored out very fast :confused: and i had them (before the bios flash) running at least for 8hrs - and yes - same Setup/Bios Settings and so on - so i went back to 510-3 on both Boards and all is ok again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDizzle Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 I keep getting the install new hardware thing from windows after flashing to 6/18. It wants me to install some nvraid deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pershoot Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 weird in windows with 618-3 bios and 2x 512MB KHX3200/512 BH-5 seems yellow slots are more stable than orange - more testing yup. with any bios on my sd core, classic bh-5 (khx3200) in yellow allowed to exceed ~235, where orange would be limited at that mark, in win stress. on utt bh (ocz el gold 3200), the limit was 240 in yellow, where orange would exceed that in win stress. 250+ for either slot in memtest86.
