BIOS 1202 revisited

Posted 06-17-09 at 05:42 AM by LoneWolf3574

Monday I bought a small desktop fan to circulate air out from beneath my desk to help keep temperatures lower when I'm gaming, it seems to give me a couple of degrees Celsius so that idea looks like it worked.

I reapplied the version 1202 BIOS to my M4A79T Deluxe yesterday figuring I'd try some tweaking to get past the BSOD that keeps popping up during the Vista boot screen. I bumped both the CPU and CPU/NB voltages up by 0.1V to 1.400V and 1.200V respectively and that seems to have...

The routing of wiring

Posted 06-17-09 at 05:35 AM by LoneWolf3574

This last Saturday night I spent about 3 hours or more rerouting all my cabling and wiring in my tower, most of that was spent trying to figure out how to do it. Needless to say, the interior is much cleaner now and has much better air flow.

I had an idea that Sunday morning, after having read several reviews regarding the testing of air cooled cpu heatsinks, I noticed they all had one thing in common, a controlled environment. It didn't matter what the ambient temperature was, most...

BIOS rewind

Posted 06-17-09 at 05:32 AM by LoneWolf3574

I had ended up reflashing my BIOS back to rev 1103, everything appeared to be stable and normal once again. With BIOS rev 1202, every time I did a cold boot, the POST screen would say that the OC had failed, press F1 to... and I would have to reload the settings I had last time I started up, TO MUCH EFFORT to do that EVERY TIME I start my computer.

Somebody had suggested that I up the CPU voltage to see if that would stabilize things, of course I read this after I reflashed to 1103....

Last of the parts, or so I think

Posted 06-17-09 at 05:29 AM by LoneWolf3574

I had gotten done installing the last WD hdd (planning on RAID-0 eventually), the last 2 SilenX 120mm fans, and a Zalman 6-fan controller, zero noticeable effect on the overall temperature. Oh well, plenty of air flowing now so I have little to worry about when it comes to cool air for my system. Best part is, even though my tower is louder, the only noise that I do hear isn't from the fans but from the air they're moving .

I downloaded and update the motherboard bios from 1103...
