RGone Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Man I just knew you would know how I felt. HEhehehehehe. I spent 30 hours straight flashing bioses before the 702's came out and could never prime 2800 or above. 2780 yes but 2800 nO. Then 704-2 and Bingo > just turn prime on and let it run and 2800mhz was good to go. Heheheheehe. Loss oh loss of data point goodness. Hehehehehehe. :confused: :dog: :drool: Before you do anything RGone, pull out the DMM and check your Vcore. This Vcore you are at now is helpoing you, preserve that datapoint :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallies Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 7/04 was the first bios to properly run my corsair 2gb ram... I'll be sticking with it and just not raising the voltage too high myself. Fix 7/04 and re-release it!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Im another one that has been using 704-2 since it came out with 1.325v+126% and no problems here.. Im pretty sure that I even checked vcore with my dmm at one point which showed to be right on the money.. Anyways I flashed back to the good ole 510-2 just to be safe for now.. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovetek Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Oskar Wu - how did you find out? Was it from my email to DFITS? Well at least now the answer to death of my Venice 3000+ has been explained. I'm very depressed about it... will never find a chip like that again... so then my motherboard is probably still alive? If so, I maybe be willing to give it a second chance... unfortunately all BIOS's before it gave me async problems when running G.Skill BH5 UTT GH kit... will an updated BIOS that removes the CPU-killing voltages but with the same memory settings be released? If so, I will give the DFI a second chance. Any other problems with the BIOS that could kill my new venice 3200+'s coming in? I have thoroughly resetted the CMOS - will putting in my new chips get them killed as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptrout Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/114 Anyone know these guys, to let them know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reisichi Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/114 Anyone know these guys, to let them know? Dunno, they haven't pulled 615 (which they call "Final") or added a notice either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovetek Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 i just emailed them... lets see how long it takes for them to respond... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orillian Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 So...what exactly are these special circumstances??? I've been using these settings since bios came out and I'm getting propper voltages! Would like to know what NOT to do to cause this problem! O. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suio Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I agree that we need an explanation for this "special circumstances". I lost two pairs of memory chips and one video card in three weeks. I demand that explanation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I demand that explanation. There you go man give them a shout and see if you get your answer. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovetek Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 The frustration you guys are feeling is understandable, but I don't think it is justifiable to act aggressively towards DFI and/or Oskar Wu. I have lost precious hardware too because of this, but hey - that's life, or more accurately, hey- that's computers. But most importantly, I think it's unfair to DFI/Oskar Wu to associate deaths of other hardware components to this BIOS, at least, not YET. The problem has been explained almost thoroughly enough - the BIOS has introduced VID control errors with the 123,126,133, & 136% settings. If anything, maybe the situations under which using those settings would cause voltage spikes could be explained, otherwise it's detailed enough and we just have to live with it.

Guest Halvis Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 OSKAR_WU DFI Engineer WU! YOU DA MAN! (I too, was about to "flash it") Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
