Mr. Scott, is a machine that flashes chips expensive? IIRC I worked at a place years ago where they programmed chips for evacuation systems.

Not at all. I bought one recently off e-bay for like $20 just so I didn't have to hotflash anymore.

why spend 20 on a disk when you can just send it for warranty repair?

NZKshatriya · Oct 4, 2015

LOL @ Mr.Scott, you really think I mis-searched?

I was trying to make a joke. seeing as PC terminology is rampantly well, funny at times.

Lemme know how you make out trying to RMA a 15 year old board.

That's why I bought one.

@d50man, well....spend 20 on disk, or hope you won't be charged for shipping the board when RMAing, assuming its under warranty.

You're a better straight man.

I get that........a lot.

*sigh*

Finally, a complete day off from class work, and I am bored outta my mind.

I'm just going to order a chip in and see if it works. Swapped over to the Intel, going to prep for some cold on the weekend, see if i can finally get a decent OC on the 290x. Last time was a flop for me.

bob4933 · Oct 4, 2015

Are you using the same CPU? Is it possible the memory controller on the chip itself was damaged?

Johan45 · Oct 4, 2015

Two different CPUs that do the same thing depending on the board. One board only has one channel and the other is stuck at x7 multi. It's definitely the boards bob

What are you talking about "disk"? He bought a programmer to flash bios chips.

Johan45 · Oct 18, 2015

Just an update on the CHV-z. Got the new BIOS chip installed it and I wish it was good news but still the same Multi seems to be stuck at 7x.

Mee too...did I say crap yet?

Johan45 · Oct 18, 2015

Weirdest thing. It works now. It seems that the slow mode switch was moved somehow. I shut it off and the board seems to be working fine now. :facepalm:

Sometimes I swear the easy things elude me??

NZKshatriya · Oct 18, 2015

slow...mode?

Johan45 · Oct 18, 2015

Yeah it's a switch for extreme Overclocking. When you're running at very high speeds, you can flip the switch and it'll drop the multi to give you time to get windows open for screen shots etc... It's #5 in this pic. I just have no idea how it got moved??

Mandrake4565 · Oct 18, 2015

So wait, it was the slow mode switch enabled all along? You're getting like me buddy!!!!

Johan45 · Oct 18, 2015

Yeah, I know. WTF???
This youngtimers is getting worse everyday. At least I have a backup BIOS chip if I need it. Ha ha.
Still for the life of me I don't know how it got moved. I've never used it before ?? I guess i'll just have to blame the kid. Ha ha
