Unofficial ASUS K8N-E thread

[LocutusX]

yeah, possibly.

AnandTech said they had overclocking problems with their K8N-E Dlx when they used SATA.
But IDE worked fine.

It doesn't make sense really, because both IDE and SATA are *not* on the PCI bus, they use hypertransport (I think).

mmm, out of ideas
i'm giving up, seems that my system doe not support the OC over 2300mhz, no matter how i try

although, benchmarking proves that no more than a few percents are the max benefits when running on 2250-2300 (ddr synchrone), so getting higher with mhz but lowering the ram frequencies and HT multiplier won't be such an improvement

and as far as the HL2 runs with 4aa/8af everything high, i'm not so said

anyway, thanks for replies

Anyone tried the 1008 beta bios?

I noticed in the forums that the best bios for overclocking is the 1004, why is that?
Also if I switch to this bios from 1006 will my raptor HD work as it should be?
Because I heard that there are problems with SATA drives when you are using bios prior to 1005.

Just got board. The bios keeps setting the memory to 333 if I set it to 400. I am trying to run one to one with fsb. I have fsb at 225, but memory is only running 181 or so. Please tell me what I am missing. I am using the new 1.08 final bios, which was on the German website.

I am using a 512 stick of low latency corsair xms 3200 and a a 512 stick of kigston hyperx 3700. Someone pleas tell me what I need to do to get the bios to accept 400 for the memory. I set it in chipset where it gives a choice of 100,133, 166,200 for memory speed, but as I said, it keeps setting mem to 333, whcih I guess is a 5/6 divider, at least as far as what cpu-z is showing.

Thanks for the help.

Where did you get that? If I am on the German page for the K8N-E Deluxe the download link directs me to the Italian(!) Asus site which doesn't even have the 1006 BIOS?

I used the Asus Update utility and scanned all the available servers for new bios. Hope this works for you. Let me know.

Asus update utility?

Is that a Windoze thing?

 

[kovboi]

Asus update utility should be on the cd that came with your mobo, but you can also download it from their site. Handy little tool.

I just tried the 1008 "Final" BIOS, also downloaded using Asus update. Doh. It takes away the options for changing memory settings (aside from 1T/Auto), and it mysteriously stopped detecting the power supply fan. I rolled back to 1007 and all is well once more.

 

[kovboi]

the 1009.005 bios is now "final" (on ftp.asus.de). anyone brave enough to try it out?

 

[Bar81]

Well, early reports have users flocking back to 1008. Asus's crack BIOS team are at it again apparently.
