Jesus! Asus can kiss my Assus! Finally managed to load bios 1007...still seems flakey tho.

I have not seen that BIOS for this board ?

is it on their site, I have 1053

How are yo flashing it ? b oot or software

Installed the AI suite and flashed it with that. Flawless

Sounds like something be effed up there ???

5 Ghz FTW ............... :thumbsup:

Congos Rick, you finally managed 5G, :P. Is that the volt you require for 5G or you are just testing still and overvolting it??? Would be waiting for new Bios, if that doesnt improve the clocks, I am gonna dump 2600K and get back to x58 platform. Though it does seem like a good platform for hardware/video card grinders for boints.

Without a clue atm...I have work to do.

Points to be made if I can get these cards flashed.

Nice,

Clocking down ? turning off all the power savings crap does not help ?

That's strange because Asus has always been the easiest mobo for me to flash. :Dizzy:

Very nice though. At least your chip can do 53 multi. Maybe even more once you get the wrinkles ironed out. :thumbsup:

I'll put you my bios screens up before I leave for work Brian.

awesome news there Ricks, so you havent got a dud of a CPU, :P, But its so frustrating to know that, whatever you do from this point onwards it wont improve your clocks other than maybe Bios update.

I am just starting fresh here so all is a mystery. These were the settings from the two bench's posted.
