  • If in DOS Mode: AFUDOS.BAT
• Press Y in CAPITAL LETTERS to start the flash process
• DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
• After the flashing is finished, shut down the computer. Then power on again and go into BIOS, Load Defaults, Save and Exit.

they got rid of voltage values below 1.0v for vcore in the bios.

very good.... i was getting tired of waiting 15seconds to get to realistic voltages. haha!

I installed the A46 BIOS, updating from v02.67.

I have three LSI 9260-8i RAID controllers in my system (in addition to a single HD5850 video card).  Before updating the BIOS, it could only see two of the three cards as boot devices.  However, the LSI WebBIOS software ran fine.

After updating the BIOS, it still only sees two drives as boot devices -- but now it's a different pair than before.  A bigger problem is that the LSI WebBIOS no longer runs.  I also see an error message flashing by that says something about not having enough option ROM space.

I tried disabling a few devices on the SR-2: the rear eSATA ports, the SATA III ports and the USB 3.0 ports -- but that didn't help.

Any other ideas?

posted on XS:

you are running out of shadow memory, u can disable some boot roms (lan etc etc and lower memory low gap to reserve more space

shamino

you mean round trip latency? its in there

No not RTL...
I'm talkin about the turn-around timings like Read to Write and Write to Read within same rank / different dimms / different rank timings...
Classified 4-way SLI (E762) has them, and so do the normal version of classified (E760).
Sometimes they're quite usful when dealing with full bank DIMMs in for overclocking...just curious if we will have those timings be able to adjust in future BIOS releases.
