Nice to see the anthem's surviving

No we're just careful

Aye it's 2nd time in my life i've been called a southerner 1st was when we lived in Newcastle.

Well still running on 05 which I guess is better than 03
Keyboard at Post does seem more responsive.

Keyboard in t'post, what's that about?
Yep, Essex here, flat as a pancake and pretty much as boring as.
uGuru, didn't notice any changes except that on my IN9 at stock it keeps saying overclock failed. On Vista 64 seem OK.
So, what's the attraction of the new BIOS?
How can I stop this keyboard spelling 'the' as 'teh'?
Why has my RMA'd memory which is now on it's way back to me after nearly 5 weeks spent the past 24 hours at East Midlands Airport?

[supershanks]

1) Pi & Everest Benches Comparison
12.805

12.802


2) 1:1.25Strap stability
Have tried to run at 1:1.25 but it's still unstable

3) Keyboard Detection at Post
seems to be more sensitive on post. I can get into bios easier.

But
4) Vcore resets to stock on entering bios.

this is odd - every time I go into teh BIOS the CPU volts are set to teh default - but if I don't go into teh BIOS the voltage remains as set and so boots OK

confirmed by olliewbnn & myself.
So if you've just been in bios & your oc doesn't boot , look no further

Glowball's Fix

5) 3,760Mhz - 8x470 @1:1.20 1128
Unlike 8x450 where 12.02 shows best results with 8x470 goes to 12.05 except for Wprime.

12.05



12.02

Hi glowball,

Keyboard in t'post, what's that about?

Not sure myself now i'd not trust post office with my keyboard

Yep, Essex here, flat as a pancake and pretty much as boring as.

you've not seen east Hull, there's a local area called new holland, should give you a clue about flatness

On Vista 64 seem OK.

That seems an improvement from what i've seen around & about.

So, what's the attraction of the new BIOS?

doesn't help with teh but it does seem more sensitive onn post, i'm getting right fed up of it sailing on into xp.

Might get memory for xmas then

luck

We don't mind Cumbrians, Geordies, Yorks & Lancs, we'll even take the Midlanders.
Essex, Kent etc. you can keep (terrible generalistaions I know but ...)

M704B_12.B05, this is odd - every time I go into teh BIOS the CPU volts are set to teh default - but if I don't go into teh BIOS the voltage remains as set and so boots OK.
C1E/EIST are disabled. Trying to run 380x9 but haven't got it stable yet.

Hey I know I'm an immigrant but I'll vouch for glowball, he's sound.
I've lived in all 4 of those shires Cumbrians, Geordies, Yorks & Lancs & tbh the cumbrians were the most miserable buggers i've known

Same problem here. System is running stable @ 8*450 = 3.6 ghz

Still no 1:1.25 possible. No overclock improvement. Everest scores are lower with this bios.

strange i had similar when testing 12.03, but not seen it do as yours on 12.05,yet

'd just cxompleted 470x8 22 hours prime on 12.02 the other day


so reran yesterday on 12.05 ran fine with same settings, will post detail& timings shaortlty so i think we can say that 12.05 is stable though slower than 12.02 as proven by olliewbnn & my benches still no fix for 1:1.25M704B_12.B05 Initial Feedback
