1-31-04 here for the last few months..... seems to be very stable.

dicecca112 · 07-11-04, 06:44 PM

yup I second the 1-31 bios

alinosa · 07-17-04, 06:25 PM

thnx a lot, i'll track it down.

1-31 caused cold boot / 4 LED problem on my LanParty.

I've been using the 1-21 I think it is... for a while. Only BIOS that hasn't given me errors.

mitro · 08-09-04, 02:35 PM

6/19 official here... before that it was 1/21

alinosa · 08-10-04, 09:06 AM

i have dual channel memory, i've heard of people having prons with the 6/19 and dual channel. When i tried it, i couldn't post unless everything was stock, anyone know why?

Another 1/21 vote here as well... Was the first I tried and its been great so never strayed from it...

Jess1313 · 08-21-04, 09:20 PM

i have run many bios's and the 1-21beta gave best balance of stability/Overclocking for me, its the only bios that hasnt gave me cold boot issues.......

11/27 here ('least that's what I think it is). I've been tempted to go to the 6/19 BIOS, but I think this is an 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' situation. I've already done one RMA on this board, I'd rather not do another one.

Oni, you're missing out on everything that this board has to offer if you don't update your bios to something at least in the beta. Modded 6/19 bioses have worked magic for many of us. Currently using Hellfire's 3EG Rev 3 6/19 bios with a modified 1/21 romsip. It has the L12 mod built in with an update SATA bios that works like butter. Not to mention you can set your own cpu warning and shutdown temps and has been known to make some higher fsbs stable.

You make a good argument.

Let me get a feel for this board first. I haven't had it a month yet.

Oni · 09-02-04, 11:23 AM

Moved to the 6/19 w/ the 1/21 ROMSIP by Hellfire. Went pretty smooth, except the 'Clear CMOS' option in WinFlash doesn't actually work. I had to manually clear the CMOS before it would boot w/o a bluescreen.

I'm back, however, and no corruption to speak of

i still hate flashing...lol

yes i moved to the 6/19 w/ the 1/21 ROMSIP by Hellfire as well, and i like it, i didnt gain any overclock(im at a wall on my ram, and my CPU),but i did gain alittle perfomance. it amazed me, in this bios you can set Alpha Timings

, its the first i have ever seen that you could, there may be others, but this is the first DFI bios i have tryed sence the 1-3 beta.......
