er.. why does that matter? i've always flashed BIOS while overclocked... never had a problem.

But anyway, I flashed this last week, not seen any improvements really, bout the same as before, still using same overclock.

My bad, that bios is for 8rda3+ or something but the name is the same format as regular 8rda bios' for some reason.

I used the windows installer, worked like a champ.

WyrmMaster · Jun 20, 2003

windows installer, works great (especially since i dont have a floppy drive)

hkgonra · Jun 20, 2003

Thanks. I think I will use it.

q149 · Jun 21, 2003

I use DrDos or the Alt+F2 method.
There is a new 8rda bios btw it's just not on the USA site.. it really sucks though, i switched back.

So far, so good with the bios update. it adds nforce2 ultra 400 support (which was a problem to begin with), adds an auto setting for memory volt setting, and such. also, my first board cooked the irq steering part by only doing a vid card bios flash!
(possibly my fault) but anyway, the new board is just fine now. 210 x 10 on a t-bred 1700+ with cas 2 333MHz memory (brand unknown) with a modded coolermaster hsc-v62 ducted with an 80mm fan, running 1.75 Vcore unmodded Vdd, and everything cranked up, including PCI Bus speed (39MHz).
Just my $.02 worth

EspElement · Jun 23, 2003

39mhz bus is very deadly... try to get that to 33... 39 can cause hard drive corruption

hkgonra · Jun 23, 2003

I thought the pci bus was locked ?

EspElement · Jun 23, 2003

it is....... 39mhz he must have turn up a seting or something

q149 · Jun 23, 2003

The pci bus is permenantly locked.
