matose Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 BIOS 1.3 beta 2 Â Unfortunately still has problems with memory clocks (over 2000MHz needs B2B over 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hm. Seems like the best BIOS for me was still the B32. I'll upload it here and let me know if it's any better/worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0lsty Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 xpower dont boot with xeon E5520, when memory multiplier isn`t set to auto . when its auto - its ok. bios - from moa . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Bios V1.0B2x Bios V1.0B29 Bios V1.0B31 Bios V1.0B32 Bios V1.0B34 Â (right-click and save) Â Don't touch anything before B30. These were very early BIOS releases and contained a lot of bugs. First BIOS that gave me decent results was the B31 (read: DDR3-2000+ with B2B=0). B32 and B34 fix the other subtiming settings in the bios, but you can also check B31 and do the subtimings in CPU-Tweaker I guess. Â If you test older bioses for better ram clocking, please give some feedback if there's a dramatic improvement so the guys at MSI can look back at a previous bios and see what they changed.

thebanik Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am not on my system right now, but I was on V1.1B2(read by CPUz), not sure Massman which this would be when compared to the BIOS you uploaded, this allowed me to overclock my rams pretty nicely, I was running normal 1600Mhz Tridents to almost 2200 CL8-9, B2B=0 Â http://hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=406746&thumb=false&iehack=.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matose Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Did anyone had problems with QPI voltage over 1.4v on subzero? On air works perfectly but on LN2 doesn't boot and if Iset through OC Dashboard it freezes... Â Also, same CPU that had no coldbug on E760, on XPower has -145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 The VTT depends on CPU. At home, I had one that did 1.45V, my friend one that didn't really like it. On MOA we had one that went upto 1.6V and another one that needed to be <1.35V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matose Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Agreed, but on other boards I did not have this problem with the same CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hey Massman, So I updated my bios.. I tried every single one you posted.. corsair dominator gt / A-data xpg / dominator gtx will freeze in windows above 925mhz with the latest bios. I dont know what the deal is... My cpu likes 1.50 vtt and subzero cooling.. 1.74v - 1.80v on the dram.. Also, it makes me feel like an overclocking noob now since it freezes in windows at 4.40ghz.. Just not right.. pifast will run up to 6500mhz on this chip I have on the rampage lll extreme.. I love the xpower because of it's features and it's easy to use but this memory thing is killin me. Thanks so much man for all your posts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 It only freezes with the latest one? Or with all of them? Â I used the Dominator GTX2 in my testing, not sure if that's also what you've been using? There should be an XPG kit on the way, so I'll be able to test more soon. Â It's a very strange issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matose Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 There is any chance that you can change the CPU multiplier in Windows? Control Center and OC Dashboard can't change that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Good question ... sadly enough - no. I've already asked MSI to include CPU multiplier adjustments from the OC Dashboard (should be no problem I think), but no update yet. Â Fingers crossed.

Beaux Loy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Going to try again. I'll get some gtx2.. You think that will help.. That memory is supposed to be pretty crazy awesome anyway right.. Cheers and thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 That kit is quite expensive ... not really sure it's worth to buy just for the XPower board . Â FYI, this is what we did on the MSI MOA EU event: Â Â DDR3-2020CL7 with the MOA bios.

matose Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 If that's with B2B=0 then it's impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Awesome results there!! was that using the gtx2 or gtx3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 If that's with B2B=0 then it's impressive  I think it was ... I wouldn't see how it could be any different. I'm hoping to get my 980X ES back soon to do some more testing with the latest bioses.  Can you share some of the timings you're setting? Or other BIOS settings. I know you know this kind of stuff by heart, but maybe there's something you've overlooked  Awesome results there!! was that using the gtx2 or gtx3?  Kingston HyperX. No Hyper chips.  This was also with B2B=0  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matose Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I asked about B2B because the default setting (Auto) is 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hm, okay. I had that exact issue with the first beta bioses: auto was 13 and I couldn't lower it to 'disabled'. Â What mem are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matose Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mushkin 3x2GB DDR3-2000 CL8 with Elpida Hyper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey massman... I did these for you.. I can clock the memory high on other boards.. My scores are not very good because of my timings but just an example.. Cheers! I was never good at cpu tests.. I love the xpower, just wish it loved me back     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaJ0r Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey massman... I did these for you.. I can clock the memory high on other boards.. My scores are not very good because of my timings but just an example.. Cheers! Scores aren't good becouse you use win7 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
