Anybody get the flash tool to work in windows. I can't in xp or 7x64 what am I missing error 200


finally got it

1.17 and 1.20 are better but still kind of rough.
There is an extremely specific order things need to be done in , which usually takes me about 6 boots to do. And if I want to disable a core or turn on evga tweak I need to start over. Same with mem. If I try and adjust it at all past 5500 CPU then error 55 no matter what.

Core ratio bug still there for you? seemed liked they finally got rid of it to me.
lol Bios is like a puzzle at times Yes some things need to be done in order to get it run right on Ln2.

Starting to get it to ride a little smoother, I have two chips one that dosent clock that well but has a great imc this one is easier to use because there is not that much to tighten with my memory @ 2500+, the chip clocks better but has a bad IMC and can only do around 2300 mem and its like banging my head against the wall trying to get this board to run tight timings, seeing alot of random 9a error that seemingly come out of nowhere. Also it takes me up to 3 times to load a profile before it finally does what its supposed to.

But all that being said the board is pretty dam good

[reggiesanchez]

I figured out the problem, vccio and vccsa voltages are slipping back to auto randomly and thats when the board goes

55/restart
A9

only happens on 1.17 and 1.20 the board runs a little better with the original bios but with that one I have a wierd issue where the board will run fine for hours than I get no display.
