use bios 14.. its better, bios 12 and 13 is terrible.
and whats your fsb:dram ratio?? coz your proc is 200Mhz on stock and your ram is 333 on stock, so your default fsb:dram ratio is 200:333 which is 3:5 which will cost a big  mistake if u oc it high enough

Set your ratio to 1:1 not on default..

@oc4/3
whats the revision of your fp-5y hynix? revisiona play a HUGE role on the OC of this particular ram/...

u dont need to increase Vcore for anything below 333Mhz which is the strap for the board coz its a 1333Mhz board.

Techfrix has it at 265x9 so do you think he needs a Vcore pump?

@suicide
u dont need the latest bios aka rev.15, he can get rev.14 from abit.

hehehe.. me also use bios rev.14 

@tech
not your bios. hmmm update your bios to rev14, coz bios 14 does solve some issues with the e2160.. take that first step then. then try again.. we will take it from there again.

you can get the flash utility from abit and save it on your thumbdrive, and then save the zip file of bios version 14 and save it on your thumbdrive.

then move over to your comp, and unzip your bios rev14. and setup your flash util and do a manual update.. should be easy.. try it.

u can update ur bios even ur pc is not online la    just download the file from abit webby, and copy it straight into ur pc  then just use flash menu to update it using that file only 

@tech
itu la yang i tell u earlier.. apa la u ni...

yes it will take 5 minutes, then when it restarts.. it wont boot but this is normal.. just turn off the main supply and turn it back on.

have u turned off all your other softwares?

have u turned off all your other softwares?

eh, u ni flash bios on OC settings, is your OC settings stable at all? hmm should not have introed u to this bios flash concept

well, give it some time.. be patient

i used to flash the Abit IP35-E via windows... yes, it "hang" for while... don't be afraid though... it'll pass

but seriously dude, never flash BIOS in OCed state...

@abang sniper..
alah, i ni lupa tell him not to do on OC state.. tapi dia pun terus tembak

@suicide
no need wake up la.. simple..
hmm no more recommending BIOS renewal thru window to new guys

M0 stepping is the best for 2160? 

Btw, shop selling what stepping?

actually, the board still can be flash even with corrupted/bad flashing before, but it's hard to do so, since you still 1-to-1 condition, why not go la... , easy... tell them, you can't boot

Oh.. So normally shop now comes with m0 stepping la? Thanks for that... 

To be honest, having an air cond room helps a lot too

I love my ACF64Pro too .. Damn good performance if install with TX-1 Thermal Compound..

Stress my x2 4000+ @ 1.700v .. No problem ..    65c~70c.. 
Yes... I'm so cold now.. Aircon room with open case.. That's why full load 63c only.. If not.. 70c.. 

ACtually not my room.. IT's my shop.. Open door 1.. So, it is affected..

Motherboard really got their favourite multiplier.. I use 380x8 fail orthos.. I use 342x9 no fail for 4 hours more and still running..
Haiz.. I prefer higher FSB cause performance better.. anyone can clarify that?

Btw, can you all share ur processor's limit at stock vcore? I still stressing 3.1Ghz @ Stock vCore & 1.26v Cpu-z reading...

alr update.thank you a1098113
is it the EIST and C1E can be disable in BIOS?
