But, i had it down to -160 and 6.3 ghz so it looks like that might have been the ticket. I'll give it a go tomorow night and see. I also flashed back to the 602 bios. IDK if that made a difference or not. I think i'll put the 704 on bios#2 and see if its a go. But right now i'm a very happy camper. I don't mind killing hardware as long as i know it was me. But when shit dies and i did nothing to make it die that i know of, i get really, really pissed.

Duke I got the bad boot block message with 704 last night when benching on ln2, I think that 5987 bios or whatever fucks shit up when you have it saved to one of the chips.

Well i never put that bios on my new board Splave and i ended up with the same thing monday noght. It;s now confirmed that my 980x is dead. I'm sending it out tomorrow, The 920 and the 5870 boot without a problem on the R3, but i'm getting the boot block thing with my 980X. Its gotta be my chip. But if you're gtting that message idk. Oh well we will see when i get the new cpu.

I think im going to try 702 instead, andre can do 6.9ghz on it so it must be okay

[GFDuke]

I was on the 704 this weekend when the shit hit the fan again. I havn't tried the 702 yet,

Guys I don't bench since a little after Memorial Day and my R3 is full of spider webs. Reading this all is making me confused:

- Isn't the 5987 the bios that removes the CB?
- Does the latest bios (702 and 704) have the same CB removal function?
- Why the 704beta not as good as the 702?

Thanks!

we are having trouble with boot block corruption with 704 jor, I havent gotten to try 702 but 704 was making my chip CB at -166 for maybe 10 minutes then I had no CB, then it corrupted.

I flashed to 704 and im having memory issues, reboots and fail to post
