My advice 'd be if you don't have anything to solve with actual bios and your rig running right , don't flash .

Q9450 is not being fully supported.

It should be, what version of the BIOS are you running?


504 is the newest...

 

[situman]

Yup and it tells me I need a bios upgrade. I can still overclock, just not up to its potential.

What tells you that you need an update?

 

[blazed]

Probably the board displays a message during POST reminding to update the BIOs to "unlock the power" of the users CPU, least thats what mine did with an E3110 and old BIOs.

q9450 if its a c1 is not supported with 0504 you do need the 0612 but its only a beta see if asus will send it to you try tech support

I emailed them. The only way to overclock, even a little is to raise volts. That's not how a cpu overclocks. Oh well I guess I have to wait it out.

 

[w2richwood]

yea dang asus seem to be draging there feet on a bios for this board even my p5w dh supports that cpu

I got a copy of the bios, but I don't think I will send it to anyone unless I get to test it out myself. Don't want any hatemails.

Well, you win either way. It works and all is good or it fails and they CANT send you hate mail

 

[situman]

Hahahaaa. Been reading up on this beta. Seems the problem is temp readings. Haven't heard much about BSODs with rams and such.

 

[w2richwood]

i got the 0612 beta off the asus forum but i have no need for it oh well i have if anyone needs it
Rich
ok i tryed its working ok havnt tryed ocing yet will next and report back seem ok with temps as it was with 0504

ok it oc.s the same no heat problems no pro's no con's

 

[w2richwood]

everythings working fine now i need a 45mn quad

 

[situman]

Sigh...looks liek this board just not good for 45nm quads. It overclocked worse than with the official 0504 bios. I give up, don't wanna buy another board. Rich, PM me if you are interested in my chip.

 

[w2richwood]

did you clear cmos after you flashed you bios? if not try that before giving up so easy
