TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[dark2099]

One thing I've noticed with ASUS is even though they update the BIOS more than some other companies, the updates always aren't improvments.

i have noticed little to no difference in the 7 bios's for my RIIE since i got it.

You got the board before anyone else, do you think it might be an ES version...?
And, why I am the only one with GIGABYTE board? No one here likes GIGA?

apparently in other forums they don't neither, but i dont think the board is bad, seen some good results with it so far.

i dont think its an es. it came from one of the last shipments from asus. i got it asus direct.

bios i downloaded was currupt i went to flash and i got write fails all over the place she rebooted and shes been bricked since then really blows that the boot block doesnt init i could save it

im sure u can fix a currupt bios my dads old computer i fixed with making a dos boot disk and putting awdflash and making a autoexec.bat file.

this board doesnt have a boot block as i said it wont initilize even if it does....this board doesnt have a floppy connector and it doesnt read the disk at all......i mean if you think i can get it to work lemme know how cause i looked up that autoexec.bat do you think it would work burning it to a cd?

Dos boot thumb drive. Fit helped me make one when I had to flash bioses.

 

[Fitseries3]

a few updates.... for those of you who wonder....

 

[kid41212003]

He needs an MS boot device, floppy drive (it appeared that his board doesn't have one), USB MS bootable.

Have the bios on the USB/floppy bootable, and flash the mobo the traditional way? I never have a flash failure, but that's how i flash my bios when I'm still using P3.

EDIT: @ fit, what is on top of the system? A mat?

all ready have a bootable thumb drive. thats how i flashed it the drive doesnt even turn on. and i get absolutely no video..nothing turns on kb mouse nothing...not even my usb net adapter...i figured w/e ill try anyway so i tried blind flashing iv done it with graphics cards and iv flashed my mobo's bios's so many times i memorized the key sequence so i tried it and nothing.

the part of the bios that doesnt get flashed is supposed to work like a fullout, my dads board come up with cmos checksum error insert system disk and that had been flash with the wrong bios. have u tried taking the ram out and see if it makes any beeps? what code is it showing on the board?

Code FF (dead code) no bios beeps. wht im saying is i know what a failsave is but it doest recognize or power up my devices. i dont get video and its hard to blinld flsh when your KB dosnt work...this board

A: doesnt have a failsafe boot block or

B: it isnt initing.

EDIT: iv tried looking for ike a jumper to enable it but i cant find anything do you guys know if their is one?

 

[LiveOrDie]

the FF code just meens (BOOT) it will come up when u first boot your computer and after its into windows, but if your not getting any beeps from the board, and i cant see any failsafe you think evga would of put one in being a overclocking board, i know XFX board has a dual bios.

 

[msgclb]

I just noticed he mentioned DK and the one on Newegg is LP.

Edit: I was looking at the DFI webpage for the motherboard listed on Newegg and found that it's a UT and not a LP or LT. If you look at the box in the image viewer you'll notice it's a UT X58.

DFI LP X58-T3eHS LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

LANPARTY UT X58-T3eH8

I don't know what the difference would be between a LT or UT. Maybe someone with DFI experience could explain.

I made some corrections to a post that I made earlier concerning the DFI motherboard listed on Newegg.

weird, usually just searching around I find what I need. I'll see if I can scoop something up forya.

My processor is going to be ordered on Monday, I hope I get a good one. I want to see if DFi is going to be coming out with a X58 DK board. I was never a big DFi guy but this P35 I'm using has grown on me. I emailed them, hopefully I'll get a response.

So you want a X58 DK board!

I didn't see it on their website.

[crazy pyro]

Is it just me or do asus boards normally look pretty?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks FIT, awesome looking board, and Dark is having some great results too! How you liking it so far, put it in already?

ANyhow, does it have on board power/reset buttons, think it should, I dont see them though.

 

[Fitseries3]
