| BIOS updates for Intel E0 stepping Hi guys, It has been a while since my last reply, but I have been on holiday for a couple of weeks. In the meantime we got (finally) BIOS updates to support the new Intel E0 stepping. I uploaded them to our local FTP server. FP-IN9 SLI: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m624b_18.bin I-G31: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m725m_13.bin I-45C: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m707e_15.bin I-45CV: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m707f_15.bin I45D: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m715g_13.bin I-N73 series: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m705a.bin IP35(-E): http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m630a.bin IP35P: (update 10/20) http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m724l_13.bin IP35 Pro: (update 10/20) http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m629b_18.bin IP35 Pro XE: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m629o_11.bin IP35V: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m708e.bin IX38 QuadGT: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m704b.bin IX38 GT3: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m703a.bin IX48 GT3: http://www.abitshop.eu/bios/m703d.bin I will update this thread if we get new updates. Note it is important to make a CMOS clear after the flash. Then boot, go into the BIOS and load the optimized defaults. Last edited by Abit_NL; 20-10-2008 at 08:25 AM.. |

| Re: BIOS updates for Intel E0 stepping Just to point out that m704b.bin still doesn't resolve the compatibility issue with 4870x2 cards. Black screen still.

It really would be a shame not to get fix as i am so far very happy with my X38 board.

Powered on. 8.7. Dead in the water. I should also add that all of the temperature readings were extremely high and my CPU Fan Duty Cycle in BIOS was stuck at 100% on the low side, using the Q6600. My Core Temp readings are normally lower 30s and UGURU is usually around there too. With this new BIOS I had something like 62-41-55-40 and stuff like that and UGURU was stuck at 33 the entyre time.

| Re: BIOS updates for Intel E0 stepping UPDATE: Installed my E8600 in my P5QE. Perfect. Definitely not the CPU. Hope you get it figured out so that some of our other ABIT brethren will get a chance to try their IP35 PRO with an E8600. |

| Re: BIOS updates for Intel E0 stepping We'll see if they get this fixed in a timely manner, obviously little or no testing was done before release. eVGA X58 Classified E759, i7 920 D0 @ 4.0ghz, G.Skill Perfect Storm DDR3 2000 3X2gb Kit, eVGA GTX260 SSC Edition, Lian-LI PC75B, Corsair HX850W, 2X WD Raptor 150gb Raid0, Seagate 320gb SATA II, LG GH22LS30 SATA DVDRW, Mitsuba Floppy/Cardreader, Koolance EVX58CF Full Board Block, Alphacool Yellowstone HF14 CPU Block, Bitspower WBPEI58DP2 PWM Block, Alphacool Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra Water Tank, Black Ice Extreme Radiator, Win 7 x64 Lvcoyote's Blog Spot Heatware |
