good stuff Fit, starting to look at the 5677s, yesterday i played with 5677+5680 in unison on air, 5677 for Vantage game Tests with a higher core speed due to 27x multi. Today LN2.

Is there a way to upgrade the BIOS without DOS or Windows? Can EVGA provide a bootable CD?

I would like to apply the fix for the Intel RAID controller, but I've only got FreeBSD installed.

Afer numerous overclocking tests, i've found out there was many problems/errors due to bios.

Koolance psu 1700W

12x2G hyperX 2000 cl9

2x X5680

cpu ram and CG are actualy WC with very good system  (always souce cooling 18deg ) and rad stock for moss and chip,(and I wait a mips WB for moss and chip).
and in more day the CPU cooling by 2 evap with DOD (by tanguy ) in H24 at -45deg. héhé

pcie 1: areca 1231ML rev2
pcie 2: dell perc 4e/DC
pcie 3: nothing actualy
pcie 4: auzentech bravura
pcie 5: 5970
pcie 6: 9800gtx+
pcie 7: 5970

use bios 47

actual I run at 4.3Ghz

I have desactivate all  ide, ahci, sataII and III, usb3, and sound chip in bios .

  OC seting:

coef X 25
BLK 175
V CPU 1.37V  real 1.341V in cpuZ
VTT 1.35V
DIM 1.65V
IOH 1.30
IOH PLL 1.8
ICH 1.25

RAM all seting a 1333 ration 2/10

turbo mod desactivate (for test OC) and speed steep and auther unnecessary seting is desactivate.

    Primary part:

-Each time i try to run 3D application with 5970 crossfire, i get a BSOD. It seems to be a hardware problem because either OS or drivers cause any error.
I'm only able to  activate crossfire in catalyst drivers.
-Did anybody made a 5970 crossfire on this MB ?

     Secondary part:

-I'm unable to manage an overclocking in one time. I have to proceed in 3 steps.
-First for all, i have to "use" an intermediate overclocking (155 bclk). Thus, the computer, shutdown, then boot, so i'm finlay able to continue to the second step et apply the desired values.
If i make an o/c profile with final step values, when i apply it, that's the first step values that are applied whereas i made the profile with final step values :/
-Futhermore, this profile add unvolontary voltages change (CPU) and frequencies changes (BCLK & RAM)

and whene the OC is greate and work fine, whene I shutdow the config, when I start I have a FF beacause motherboard can't start in OC.

      third part:

- It's impossible to manage CPU shutdown temperatures.
- no "target memory frequency view" option in bios
- no bios option for boot post message frequencies (cpu & ram). It's a real lack. It would be really practical to be able to see if the overclocking is applied.
- little negative drop for CPU voltage & little positive drop for RAM (but very stable).
- When news parameters are applied in bios, Motherboard shutdown, then boot several seconds after. This might damage Hard drives of other part of the computer.
-bclk limited to 175 MHz, after i get BSOD when system boots
-where is QPI voltage ?

                        Good points :

- Very stables voltages
- Great voltage range !
- "signal tweak" is a nice option
- the capability to invert PCI-E is nice too !
- Areca & SCSI controlers a fully fonctionnals even if i use the stock bios.

I you have a solution for the 5970CF its my 1rst priority to solve.

      

       Thanks  for  T3D translation .

I have a 5970 in pcie slot 5

9800gtx+ in slot 6

and 2nd 5970 in slot 7

in the first slot its a areca 1231ML

auther problem, can you explain me

http://hwbot.org/hardware...n_x5680?tab=2drankings

3 motherboard suport 26X with tubo boost mod

with the same CPUs and when turbo mod actuvate and good configurate in SR2 I can't have 26X.  limited at 25X

vinn69

is there any way to flash the bio in DOS mode?

no flash in bios function you can flash in system and in DOS


AND




If CAN I have a reply  to my post   lots problem in bios an CF  x5970.

5 days no reply no solution and I ahve a 5970 wait ...

I have the same issue.  Uncore unlock worked on A46, and now fails with A47.  My CPU's (dual X5680's)  show up as B0 stepping in the BIOS, even though they're B1.
 
EVGA SR-2
2x Intel Xeon X5680
6x 2GB Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM
Antec 1200W
XFX 5970 Black (next step, setup CF with a second one)
SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Titanium
Logitech Z-5500 speakers
3Ware 9750-8i controller w/BBU
4x 2TB Constellation ES SAS 6GB/s drives in RAID 5
Lian Li PC-P80
 

I have no tested IT .

Its true, possible in linux or auther possible CF work beacause the games not use DX .

Possible work by openGL.

But linux its not my primary system and I whant games or run 3D aplication in DX11

When « Turbo mode » is activated,  ’speed steep ( EIST) ‘
Quand le ‘’turbo mod ‘’ is activate the ‘’speed steep ( EIST) ‘’ cannont bei desactivated  and may cause overclocking problem.
Regardless the monitoring application, (Everest or CPU tweaker ), we are able to watch coefX variations from 12x to 26x  depending on the CPU load  (CPU-Z is unable to see thoses variations).
And the only way to desactivate speed step is to use par CPU tweaker  and uncheck «  C1E «  that locks Coef to 26X.
Of coursen i have desactivated  ‘’ACPI T state’’ and ‘’C state ‘’ .
Couldn’t  you put C1E option in bios as it’s possible by using softs ?

mosie, I think you should put 1 HD 5770 in Slot 1.

you should try to put HD 5770 into your a******,

the oc profiles seems not working? all gone after a reboot?...

Yes, profiles are stuffed. Sometimes they work, sometimes completely corrupted.

Thanks 

Considering all of the bad press EVGA is getting about their motherboard team mostly quitting, it's probably safe to say that BIOS development has slowed down a lot for this niche board.  See Sgt. Steiger's link above.

I have verified it can be downloaded.  It is best to use Firefox or IE with our site.  I have e-mailed it to you as well.
