Can someone flash BIOS chips?
« on: August 28, 2009, 07:54:54 AM »
I just purchased the ASUS P6T SE, and i have yet to buy the i7-920 to put in it.
The motherboard was ex-display, and never used (It still had the cellophane on the logo on the heatsink). Yet as i dont know what BIOS revision is on it, i have a problem.

The current i7-920 runs with D0 Stepping techology, whereas older versions of this motherboard's BIOS only support the older C0 Stepping. I am at a loss as to how to test it without a CPU, but the BIOS chip is removable. If it comes down to it, i will have to manually remove the BIOS chip and replace it with a chip flashed with the newer BIOS version. My question to you guys is, can anyone flash chips for me to put in my motherboard?

if correct you can flash the bios yourself while it is in the motherboard :S



To all of you crying about lag and kicks, remember… when Jesus died, took him 3 days to respawn. Now THAT is lag.

i cannot without a CPU. if the CPU is D0 stepped (which it will be), and my motherboard is on BIOS version 0106, the CPU wont work. therefore i wont be able to boot into the BIOS without a CPU. quite a pickle. there's 3 way i can get it to work. buy ANOTHER i7-920, but the older version (C0 stepped, which is compatible) and then upgrade it and sell the CPU off. or remove the chip and flash it myself, or just buy a new chip, pre-flashed.
