Iam thinking of getting this board with a opteron 144 or 146 will these work to allow me to set up to flash bios, if I get a board which as a bios revision less than 1.4 thanks for any help
paul4647 said:thanks a lot I have Kingston value ram will that be ok also 450 watt psu also the opteron 146 number is cacje 0546BPW
Xeon said:i havn't played around with those so i cant help - my guess is leave it at 4 beats the lower the better.
Here are a few bios settings i've collected from thee web which are food for thought, especially the last one!!
#1 - Installed OCWB Beta Bios 1
#2 - Memory altered to DDR200 in BIOS(Async) use only for 1/1 clocking
#3 - CPU-NB Link speed set to 600Mhz
#4 - NB-SB Link speed set to 600Mhz
#5 - Cool and Quiet Disabled
#6 - CPU Voltage set to 1.45V
#7 - FSB set to 317 , in async with PCI Bus(100Mhz)
And Voila. 2853Mhz

Have you dropped the HTT multipliers?
Stock ASRock BIOS all pretty much stop at 270-274 MHz.
The OCW Beta 1 and 2 will go over 300.
Set CPU/NB, and NB/SB to 600 (3X), or lower.
try ocwbeta bios 2, it helped me getting over the 260...
# normally the official bios blocks at 270, but mine did at 260, now 280 is reachable. Btw you are using async mode?

"Flexibility Option" seems to lock the RAM multiplier. I've turned it off, and now I get different multipliers for DDR200 and DDR266

motherboard monitor does not have it in its list
thanks

shouldnt be, the ocwbeta's were the ones that lifted the limit, its gone backwards if 4 has re introduced itns400r said:Mmmmmmmmmm, the 274Mhz limit is still there for me.
Every thing else looks about the same with a few alterations to the bios defaults.
