Yeah, after I finish the R3 for the M17x we will work our way down.
Thanks TheWiz, I was able to flash the BIOS this evening. Here are some screen shots of it on my hotel TV. I will begin to play with the options on Friday. The flash went without a hitch. I used an older bios to open WinPhlash, and just selected the modded ROM. It programed without any issues on the first attempt.

Hey thanks for the pics! Kizwan and myself are working on tracking some of the options and menus for QPI and memory that still aren't showing, as well as disabling the check so that all CPUs can use the extreme OC function regardless of whether they are extreme CPUs or not. More on that to come, so kep your test lab warm Big Grin

Sounds awesome, I catch a flight back home in a 5 hours and have some time off Friday. I'll also have all my other CPU's tools, and and 40GB benchmarking SSD with my slim benching OS. Big Grin Looking forward to it!
Nice pics, looking forward to this release! Any updates on when it may be officially released?
I am hoping this weekend. I was going to release it as is but I think I can enable all of the CPUs to use those OC features instead of just the XM, plus fix the Intelligent Power Sharing menu that doesn't show so that we can release it with a punch Big Grin

TheWiz
What kinda punch would that give the M17x?
LOL, I just meant that I want to get the OC push option and the Intelligent power sharing menu unlocked before I release it. The BIOS authors wrote some functions to disable using the options that we are circumventing.

Hello,

The link will be available when?
I'm French, on p4g.fr, and we are willing to tested.
Ty, sorry for my english.
Hi there,

Not sure what you mean by p4g.fr, but the BIOS will be ready today for download assuming I can get a few more testing rounds in with Dan.
