TH7-II BIOS 38 questions?

Hi All,
TH7-II /P4 1.6A is up and running fine at 2.1G, Rdram at full speed 533/PC1066, vcore at 1.55.

I'm curious about the "Delay to Thermal", default "16 min." in Advanced Chipset Features. Anyone know what this does?

Also, I have the "Differential Current" setting at default (6X), I think I saw a review that said 4X was better when OCing, but can't find it. What exactly does this do?

Thanks in advance for all the help, this board has been invaluable since I ordered my TH7-II.

I am interested as well, especially the Differential Current setting.

You didn't have any problems on boot with TH7-II /P4 1.6A in first installed? what bios Ver. was installed when you got your board? & where & when did you get the board?

thanks

Ya, I had the infamous "post code 29" bug and no boot. I had to order a new BIOS chip flashed with "38" from Abit.
I originally bought the board from Newegg.

I found out that "delay to thermal" has to do with the P4 throttling when it's too hot. The xx time is how long the processor will remain throttled down until it runs full speed again.

ginfest,

Can you please tell me the Ver. # of your board?

Thanks

Sorry, didn't write it down. I'll open the case this week and post back.
