new bios
running the newest on my 8kha+ (2314.bin).
no problems. one of the ram adjustments that were available with the 2116.bin bios are gone, but, if it just FEELS better.
i don't care that much for the ram jamming, there is just too much at stake, no weird sh.t when burning or doing other stuff that may choke the ram when clocked too tight.
any and all stability problems i ever had had to do with the PS. just make sure to get one with POTS, it makes a difference.
running a new Sparkle 400 (dual Pots, 12/5 and 3.3, runs m/b and five hard drives) along with a 300 Sparkle (runs ten fans and the CD drives) that is not modded as it doesn't need it for what it is doing. both in da same box, wired to fire as one. the other way around the 5 volt issue to to wire the moffset 5v lead with a 5 volt line from the ps, but that is a real pain, the POTS are the only way to go. after spending all that $$$ on the other two p/s's...........................should have just done this sooner.
once i modded the 400 (it replaced a Powermax 500 watt, nice ps, but talk about cheap with the number of outgoing leads, only two, versus four each for the Sparkles), previous to that a PC Power & Cooling unit (431 watts), both of which had NO pot adjustments, now no more strange problems, yeah!!!!!!!!! Both the 5v lines on these powerfull PS's would dip to around 4.80 under load, kinda very borderline, especially if clocking, the cpu just draws way too much current when working hard.
now, i couldn't be happier, the fans don't fade ever so slightly when under load and i haven't had ANY strange behavior whatsoever, lets me concentrate on other stuff.
err. like using the computer.
