For those who are interested, Asus has BIOS 1014 now available. I decided to give it a try. Been stable so far. These are the release notes:
1. Do not use old version Afudos.exe to flash BIOS.Must use new Afudos.exe which is included in zip file to flash BIOS.
2. Using ASUSLiveUpdate to flash...
1012 was never officially released by Asus. A beta version was available on the internet and it ended up frying people's boards. As someone else pointed out, there is a secret link for those who still want to use 1013. Personally, I would not flash any BIOS that does not appear on all of the...
Definitely move the Audigy card away from the 9700pro. Video cards can get hot and the more air circulating around them, the better. What kind of video card problems are you having?
Yes, that is probably smart. But if you wish to run RAID 1, you have to have 1010 or higher. I'm running RAID 0 now, but am thinking of adding a couple more drives to form a mirror array.
I would not run Vcore above 1.7v even if it drops under load. 1.75v is extremely high. A lot of people who overclock with this board run at default voltage. I would try to tweak your memory timings and your other BIOS settings a little more before boosting Vcore above 1.7v. I have a 2.6C running...
Do what you think is best. I'm not trying to start a panic. But people should know there's an apparent problem with 1013. Quite frankly, I'm a little annoyed with Asus for not offering an explanation.
After flashing 1013 and then resetting the CMOS, some people said their boards refused to POST. The rumor is that Asus is getting a lot of RMA requests. But the problem is not affecting everyone with a P4C800 Dlx or -E board, so I don't know what to tell you. BIOS 1013 was pulled from the US...
What BIOS version are you using? I've heard there are problems using the Promise controller with BIOS 1011. I've also heard that 1010 works better with that controller.
A warning for those of you who are now using BIOS 1013. Asus has pulled it off its websites. Apparently some people are having major problems with that BIOS revision (dead motherboards, etc). So far, there's been no explanation from Asus.
The beeps indicate how many USB devices you have attached. If no devices are connected, you shouldn't hear any beeps. asus explanation
Glad to see you've straighten out some of the other problems.
Yes, 60C is way too high. Even under load, my CPU rarely goes above 32C. I'm using a Zalman CNPS-7000AlCu. Your heat sink may not be making good contact with your CPU. When you remove the HSF, you'll be able to tell, just by looking at the CPU and the patterns left on the thermal paste.
Computer, I'll try to answer as many questions as possible.
AI Overclocker - I never use it because I'd rather do my own settings.
DDR Frequency - I have no idea what Auto does. I've used 1:1 since day one.
Raptors - Remove the jumpers from your HDD's if you haven't already done so.
If you're...
For those wishing to overclock, this guide may be helpful.
Overclocking involves a lot of trial and error. It can be both fun and aggravating. Eventually, you will hit the so-called wall where you can't go any farther. Fanatics will resort to motherboard modifications and exotic cooling in an...
Have you tried Memtest86? It's a good diagnostic tool for your RAM. link
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and was occasionally having problems with system freezes. At first, I thought it was a USB problem. But I installed Omega drivers in place of the regular ATI Catalyst versions, and the...
