K7S8X ADVICE ON BIOS

[PMC]

The ultra mode of bios 1.43a is very nice but it wont post with my hardware, turbo setting maximum.
But is strange, because i have a 512 mb stick of OCZ 3500 EL on a 2500+ XP.
Any sugestions ?

Is it trying to run the RAM ASynch at 200 ?
I agree the 3500 RAM should handle that though.

Try setting the memory FSB manually (rather than auto) in Synch with the FSB, and boot at ULTRA. Benchmark to see how that compares with ASynch Turbo.

It was correct, it posted at 166 sync with the ultra settings and the tests reported a 100 points in cpu and 200 points in memmory score in the pcmark2002 benchmarking.
But the s.o profile became corrupted and the recover messager apeared twice.
I noted that some reported problems with this bios
when is instaled a agp 8x videocard (ati raedon 9200 in my case ).
Just for checking my scores are :

CPU - 5443
MEMORY - 4228
PCMARK2002

Tks for your attention Tuvoc.

I hope that robinhull receives that new overclocking bios from AsRock asap.
I would like to have advanced settings in memory,
the multiplier option would be a dream.

Some people like 1.43a, but for me it gave problems. Update to 1.47
