P4PE - Bios

How is the 1003-006 working?
Stable in OC?
Thx
Jedi - May the Force be with you!

working fine for me.

btw, welcome to the forums.

i have had not problems with the 1003.006 bios.

where are you guys getting these bioses?

from asus.com, when in the bios downloads section choose the beta bios at the top.

yes the key is click the beta settings. i overlooked it the first time i was at the site.

later

Beta Bios

I am running 1003 and its fine with my system overclocked from 1.8 to 2.43 and memory in turbo mode with a 3/4 divider.

Are they gonna ever fix the overvoltge thingy with a new bios??

Mike

What are the advantages of the beta bioses as opposed to 1002? Is it worth switching?

bump

1003.007 stable?
any advantage over 1002?

jepp, stable.

Any erroneous temps with these new beta bioses?
Doc

same temps as the 1001 bios with my rig.

Cool, what are you running for cpu and what are the temps under load? I'm running the 2.4b at 2.557, and under load, it's right at 49/50 C. At idle, it runs about 35 C. Thanks.

Any downside to going to the beta bios?

OT - what does 1:1 mean - Sorry but im a newb, I think it is cpu to memory, but im not too sure, and when someone states 4:5 setting, how do you do that and what does that give you?

dom i had very similar temps to yours before i put on my thermalright ax(numbers here). it dropped my temps 5 degrees under load and idle. however I think those temps are fine and you have no problems. just dont bump up the vcore much.

for 1:1 leave our asus p4pe memory frequency at auto. for the other timings of 4:5 and 3:4 or whatever they are go into the area where you set memory frequencys. There are three numbers for every fsb setting, that number is based on what your fsb is set at. you can do a calculation (fsb/4)=(5/x) where x is the speed of the memory to understand the meaning behind the expression 4:5 etc.

i am sure there are better explainations out there however i was new to this like you and figured it out that way. there is NO place that i have found that says 4:5 1:1 etc...that just seems to be an expression used to describe your memmory frequency as compared to your fsb...

actually i went and looked at my expression i stated and it is wrong too. i dont have time just atm to formulate a proper response mathmatically, just go into your memory frequencies and the highest mhz is a 3:4 i believe, the middle is a 4:5 and the lower is 1:1.

to make it simple

If ur fsb were 100mhz, and u set ur memory to 3/4 were the 3 is ur fsb speed, the memory would be operating at 133mhz or 266mhz in ddr terms, so setting the divider to 4/5 would give u a memory speed of 125mhz or 250mhz in memory terms.
