My temps, while aren't outrageous, I still don't believe they're fully calibrated. -------------------- Abit NF2 Nview AM2 3600X2 Brisbane 310x9.5 1.32v EVGA 8800GTS 640 2x1024 Super Talent DDR2-667 @ DDR2-840 Seagate 7200.10 320gig Enhance 500w PS Posts: 7 | From: USA | Registered: Oct 2006 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    This temp issue exists on both AM2 and Conroe boards and is so bad, I don't even look at it anymore! The $300 DFI 680i has my Conroe at over 70C!! BS, ya know? And that is in the BIOS!! -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Com'on ???..! Posts: 27985 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Cyberlunacy New Member Member # 1875 posted                    has anyone had any issues with lower overclocks or anything quirky like that? mine sits at a confortable 333x9 24/7 and keeps chugging along. aside from the temps i cant say that i have any issues. I usually follow the "if it aint broke dont fix it" methodology so i dont wanna update if the temps aint fixed on brisbanes, and if the overclocking is lowered. can anyone chime in for me please. also do you gent's plan on cracking this bios open and modding it like you did the others ? i know i would appreciate it if you did -------------------- Abit NF-M2 Nview/3600 Brissy @3ghz/2gb Gskill HZ's/236g Raptor/7800 gtx/OCZ 600w PowerStream/Dell 2007 WFP Posts: 7 | From: Cedar Rapids, IA | Registered: Jul 2005 JWilson. Moderator Member # 2140 posted                    Welcome to RHCF! I'm pretty sure Polygon, our bios modding guru, sold his nf-m2 board, so he would have no way to test the modded bios. Can you recover from flashing a corrupt bios if necessary? -------------------- Biostar TP-X58 Intel 920 EVGA 9600GT Corsair 3x1Gig XMS DDR3 1600 Antech 750W Water cooled Posts: 727 | From: USA | Registered: Oct 2005 Cyberlunacy New Member Member # 1875 posted                    well given that he has had many successful mods with the other bios versions i cant imagine poly would screw this up lol. but i know testing is key before public release. and i have a couple of 8meg bios chips out of some asus boards. (P5WD2-E Prem) i think they are 8meg, maybe they are 4meg. im not so much concerned with the modded bios as i am with this new bios not wrecking anything, know what i mean? but if modding it is the only way to open it up to have GOOD overclocking options, or rather proper overclocking options, then i will stay with the bios i have. which is poly's modded #13 bios. (which rev exactly i cant say but its a beast and i love it.) i also simply use speedfan and set an offset of -30 show it shows a more realistic temp. but honestly its just a guess buy probing the heatsink and bass of the heatsink with my IR thermal gun. he could make a brisbane edition with a stock offset built into the bios lol. right now i jsut booted up and im sitting in the bios (my main rig is my 6600 ES) and its hsowing 70c we all know thats wrong but how much? 30-35-40c??? system temps show 33, pwm shows 40, so i know just having turned on my system temps are not over 40c. probably 33-35c. but i dont have any way of truly knowing. just guess. how much of a change did this new bios make ? -------------------- Abit NF-M2 Nview/3600 Brissy @3ghz/2gb Gskill HZ's/236g Raptor/7800 gtx/OCZ 600w PowerStream/Dell 2007 WFP Posts: 7 | From: Cedar Rapids, IA | Registered: Jul 2005 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    I'm flattered that you think I can perform such miracles! But truth be told, there is very little being done other then unhiding some things that are already there. Real, actual changes are out of the question. I can add code to "steer" things like mem timings, and VGA speed, but that's about it. Increasing voltages is totally out of the question. The software to fix temps, timings, and things of the nature, are not available to the general public. I tried to buy up-to-date software from AWARD, but they don't even respond to my inquire! The BIOS chip in the NF-M2 is a 4meg and a hot flash will give you a backup.... True most of the BIOS mods go off without a hitch, but there is always risk. I bought spares right from ABIT, online. http://badflash.com is also another source of backup's... That's it in a nutshell. Welcome aboard! -------------------- Too Many Computers,...

Posts: 27985 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Cyberlunacy New Member Member # 1875 posted                    ugh thats what i have asked like 4 times now lol. has anyone tried it to know if its a good updated bios or a bad. i aint trying it for right now, if no one chimes in, them i'll try. that was my original question and then it got turned into you modding the bios just cuz i asked a simple question of "do you guys plan on modding it" -------------------- Abit NF-M2 Nview/3600 Brissy @3ghz/2gb Gskill HZ's/236g Raptor/7800 gtx/OCZ 600w PowerStream/Dell 2007 WFP Posts: 7 | From: Cedar Rapids, IA | Registered: Jul 2005 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    There's only 1 guy with the board: YOU!

Posts: 27985 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Cyberlunacy New Member Member # 1875 posted                    hahaha well shame on everyone else, including you for selling your boards. its the best am2 mATX board out. -------------------- Abit NF-M2 Nview/3600 Brissy @3ghz/2gb Gskill HZ's/236g Raptor/7800 gtx/OCZ 600w PowerStream/Dell 2007 WFP Posts: 7 | From: Cedar Rapids, IA | Registered: Jul 2005 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    I had a total of 3 of them and they all worked for crap. 1st 2 would not POST 95% of the time. 3ed could only go to 300FSB, 25Mhz at a time and would not re-boot ever at 300. I see many users with the same issues. I think it may have been my memory, but 3 strikes and they're out! Mod BIOS are posted in seperate topic as should all this banter -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Com'on ???..! Posts: 27985 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Cyberlunacy New Member Member # 1875 posted                    wow mine cranks past 333 HTT easy as pie, just crank it up to 333, HTT multi at 3x chipset voltages at max,,, and away you go. i know with the brisbanes atleast the 3600 the board does NOT like the 9.5 cpu multi that it uses , but 9x cpu multi,, yeah 333+ HTT. -------------------- Abit NF-M2 Nview/3600 Brissy @3ghz/2gb Gskill HZ's/236g Raptor/7800 gtx/OCZ 600w PowerStream/Dell 2007 WFP Posts: 7 | From: Cedar Rapids, IA | Registered: Jul 2005 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Many users have nothing but trouble, but a handful are like you. No problem! I bought 2 boards about 6 months ago and 1 about 2 month ago and the last was a little better, but still not useable... Something in my setup had to be the issue and I strongly suspect the memory. I did try every brand I have, but all were the same results. I did have GSkill HZ and after testing it on Biostar AM2 boards, I sent it back as it was lousy compared to my other stix, some being cheaper. Never got to try it on the ABIT. -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Com'on ???..! Posts: 27985 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003
