FOR ALL ASUS A7N8X users(PLEASE READ)
this some tip from my exprience with this bord
i had broked two bord due at the bios corruption.
this some walk throught to get your bord working for a long time::))))
--------------------------------------
1-do never adjust a lot your memory timinig. its better to set them alwais to (by spd) or somethings like 80% ,83%, do never push your memory to high (120%,140%) if u are already at a high fsb 200+for rev2 bord 180~190 for rev 1 mobo
--------------------------------------
2-do not push the fsb too high more than --230-220(rev 2 ),180~190(rev 1) --is not safe using this bord it can corrupt your bios at any time and the motherbord will never post again .there is few user who have the chance to get 230 fsb with those board .this is too hard to get the mobo working at high fsb stable without any chipset voltage mode .between 210~215 for rev 2 bord and between 180~190 for rev 1 .
more than those listed value will cause 3d game crash due at the low voltage of the southbridge.
--------------------------------------
3- alwais in your bios after adjusting setting first save change after save and exit do never hit F 10 this also can cause the bios death .
--------------------------------------
4- do never press the reset button if your mobo not post due at high fsb or wrong memory timing just press turn off button remouve psu cable and reinsert it back after power it
---------------------------------------
5-never update your bios with asus flash utility try to flash it with bootable disk or pressing F10 durring the post
---------------------------------------
---- i have this bord for more than 3 month .every day paying with bios but the it is not corrputed i had follwed those setup and i am happy for the moment
