Question Intel Dual Core E5200 on Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 (rev. 3.x)
Is possible to mod the bios for this mb...:

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Mothe...uctID=2467

...to support E5200 CPU? there are a lot of other CPUS with 800 FSB supported but no E5200. Tried everything, no success.

Hey Webright,

Finally got a chance to check out your case here. I am very confused why you are having trouble though. Even though the CPU is not llisted, the E6300 is supported, which means plopping in a E5200 should still work. Please fill me in on the details.

Thanks,
TheWiz

yes, it should work, but it isn't... Shy

gigabyte replyied saying that they will not update the bios anymore.

On BIOS Setup, doesn't exist a multiplier setting so cpu clock stays at 1500mhz. I believe that the problem is the multiplier, as all other settings seems to be right, double checked with processor specs.

Thank you TheWiz Smile

Well, the multiplier will be set correctly when it picks up the right proccessor, so that makes sense. I'll keep working on it though. Also, I jsut want to make sure you have Gigabyte Dual BIOS or not.

This board doesn't support real dual bios, only a 'virtual' dual. I've recovered it from a bad flash already, so... please, feel free Smile

All Done (or at least I think so) I updated the Microcode to a more recent version that included the E5200 microcode with others. Your bios went from 73K of Microcode to 123K of Microcode.

Good Luck!
