**The ASrock 939dual-SATA2 (ULi M1695) thread**

The easiest way of testing whether it's totally stable is to use MemTest86+, from www.memtest.org

Test #8 is normally the one that fails even if you're slightly off. Once it passes that and multiple runs of SuperPi 32M then you should be fine.

Hi All
On a different topic does this board work with a EVGA GeForce 7950 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) GFX, as the mobo did not like my 6800gt

thanks

 

[H@mmer]

My 6800GT works fine at Ultra speeds on this board.

Anyone tried the 2.3 BIOS? It seems to go over 274 HTT, although I haven't tried a new BIOS since OCW beta 1.2. Seem to be getting cold boot problems with 2.3 though.

 

[MeddlE]

Not tried 2.30, still using 2.20. Had it up to 320HTT with 2.20 though.

 

[markeh]

I get strange rebooting problems at over 284, just black screens and eventually resets the BIOS.

 

[easyrider]

Any ideas why when I up the FSB using 2.30 it will not save the overclock?

I put the FSB up to 230 just to test and when I save the settings it juts boots at 1.8ghz 200 FSB

3000 venice BTW.

I'm trying to overclock a mates PC and its making me look like a noob.


Any suggestions?

Just installed Vista but I cant seem to get online, do I need a driver update or bios update for the onboard LAN? just reports limited connection or is it a driver for my router I need?

everytime i boot vista i need to unplug the lan cable for 5 secs then plug it back in

 

[Mr Men]

Cheers mate turning the router off before booting it seems to do the trick, me being a **** as usual

 

[hohum]

There is also another way to fix it - tell Vista to sleep, then when you wake it up again your connection will be fine.

Anyone know of a temp monitoring programs that shuts down the pc if cpu temps run over a predefined threshold? I have a watercooled htpc rig with this mb in it and it runs 24/7, as I run my pump undervolted for silent running there’s a chance the pump will stall, it hasn’t happened yet after 8 months but if it ever does I'd like my pc to simply shut down as soon as temps start to rocket.

Don't all the CPUs from Athlon XP & mobos do this? First they'll throttle down. If that doesn't work, it will immediately shutdown the PC!

 

[Hesky82]

yeah, at around 75C the pwm stage cuts the power to the cpu, tbh im looking for a program that shuts my pc down way before 70C. would be cool to have a setting in the bios for this, much like the one on most dfi boards

 

[easyrider]

Can someone help me please.

How do i change the command rate from 2T to 1T, and what will this be doing? i.e what settings will i be needing to overclock once ive swapped it to 1T...

its done in the bios but i dont recommend it unless u got high quality memory
Also 1T will not work with more than 2 sticks of memory
You will find all the info u need in this thread.


The reason why im posting is to let XP64 sata 2 users of this board not to use Asrock's JMicron X64 Sata 2 driver as it only works @ sata1 burst rates!!

Use to more recent Jmicron 207 Sata 2 driver (thats just above it - but not labelled for XP64) and it enables the controller to give proper sata 2 bursts.

It works fine with windows XP64

I have G.Skill ZX running at 1T, passes memtest and fully stable. G.Skill HZ wouldn't do it though.

 

[hp7909]

1T works fine with most 1GB (2x512MB) memory (using OcUK Value sticks) Issues/problems with 2GB (2x1GB)

 

[MeddlE]

Both the ZX and HZ that I tried were 2 x 1gb.
