Lsdmeasap,
Now that my system is finally stable, and flashing to the new F9 bios posted today, I have a few questions about some of the bios settings.
In Advanced Bios settings, for Dual Bios Recovery source, is it best to choose to recover from HDD-HPA or from Backup Bios? Default setting is HDD-HPA.
I did not do anything to setup HDD AHCI Mode or Port Native Mode before installing Windows Vista. In the bios, should I enable these settings or not? I have a single new Seagate .11 HDD.
Now that the F9 bios fixes the ACPI Suspend State, should I choose S3 or S1? Is there any reason NOT to choose S3?
What is the best CPU Warning Temperature to choose? I have an E8500 and have currently set it at 80 degrees C.
Should the CPU Smart Fan Control setting be set to Enabled or to Auto (controlled by bios)?
I have reduced MCH voltage from 1.10v to 1.05v and have Corsair 2X2gb 1066 RAM set to 2.08v (rather than stickered 2.1v). So far system is stable and CPU-Z is reporting RAM running at stickered 5-5-5-15 speed.
By the way, all previos bios versions have shown RAM SPD at 5-7-7-24. With the latest F9 bios, RAM SPD shown in bios is 5-5-5-15, the same as shown on the stickers. So the bios update must have more in it than just the S3 power fix.
Thanks in advance for any answers/comments you can provide.
