Mullered07's Everest Memory Benchmark Thread

No, it boots fine - Thanks a nice app (it had been deleted from the HP website).

The asus bios flash prog won't let me flash to an earlier bios, that's the error message it gives me "The bios is too old. Perhaps it isn't compatible with your motherboard"

Well you have your sub timings pretty tight. What are the main timings rated for? 5-5-5-15? 1.9v? Only things I could think of is slowly reducing "All precharge to activate" and "All precharge to delay".
 
Yu. my timings are rated at 5-5-5-16@1066@2.1v pity i can't reach 1066 any more tho even at 6-7-7-21! it's pretty much the mb tho. even tho it's meant to run 1200 fine it doesn't with this latest bios.

When you get to your Dos promt, instead of going loading the asus flash utility, type (without quotes, lol):

"name of exe" /?

Then take a pic of what the commands are, there will be a way of force flashing.

Either that or try this, did a bit of googling, it does a force flash (i.e ignores version, etc.) But use at your own risk, make sure your 100% its the right bios for your mobo.

AFU236U /i"Bios name".rom /pbnc /n

They're the only 2 settings memset won't let me change :(
 
So the AFU236U /i"Bios name".rom /pbnc /n commands didnt work then?
 
nope, typed it in exactly. I'd try a different flashing utility but i'm notoriously unlucky when it comes to using 3rd party software.
-same message. "Bios is too old. maybe it isn't compatible"

Wow, thats wierd. I've never known of problems back flashing, especially with the force commands.
My EZ-flash utility built into th bios, just asks me am I sure cus its older.
Have you tried the windows based Asus flash utility?
 
I know, all other Mb's i've tried have flashed fine. just this one. I have vista64 so the windows app won't work
 
Thanks, I'm trying it now. Thanks for finding it, i searched the asus website but i couldn't find a windows app and it wasn't on the list of downloads for my motherboard

Nope - Didn't work either - Here's the error message in windows

Is there a more upto date bios than 0304, but not as up to date as 1001? That will give you good RAM OC?
 
None of them prior to 1001 will update :( I'll give it another go tomorrow using the other bios's
 
Some of the newer ASUS BIOS's change the EEPROM , thats why you cant "back-flash" your BIOS through the utility. You should see if there is a modded version from Ketxxx

the only way to back flash is in DOS ;)
 
Nope Asus Dos bios utility won't let me backflash. kind sux. i guess the people at asus believe that every bios update is an improvement over their last.
 
you have to burn something on a cd forgot what it was from asus and the bios and it lest you i done it but its been a while since i did it on mine

i did it on a cd/rw idk if you can do it on a usb stick you have to boot from it

Thanks for trying to help. Tried all that (previous posts). It just won't work, gives me an error saying the bios is too old, not compatible with the mobo. Used, E.Z. update, From DOS (usb boot into dos) + Windows update utility. All have the same error. Every prior bios to 1001 won't flash :(
 
i forgot you have to put an older AFUDOS on the cd to boot with thats the thing that well make it flash to an old bios

Have you tried KodaKey?
 
ok guys, as ive been reading afudos is a punk. well, ive already solved this one for you quite a while ago.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=74089&d=1205468995

use this afudos, its the engineering version.

use the syntax
AFUDOS /iBIOSFILEHERE /pbnc /n

this will force flash. thats how you are able to do things like the rampage mod and such. you can literally put any bios on. however not any bios will work, but it will be flashed on there if you know what i mean.
