Acer Z5801 Ivy Bridge Support

[Canadiansailor]

Looking to find a way to get support for an ivy bridge series cpu. I've never moded a BIOS and I'm a bit nervous to do, but want to learn how if it's possible.

Make a good photo of its motherboard.

This is the best I could get with my phone. If you need anything else, let me know. BIOS Ver. P02-A2 from Acer, but I have an unlocked version P02-A2U flashed on it now.

Sorry, I can't help with this motherboard.

[Canadiansailor]

Can you explain why? Asking to learn something new, not pick an argument. What does the physical motherboard have to do with Software?

[DeathBringer]

This is no similar motherboard with Ivy Bridge support.

[Canadiansailor]

Ok, so it's easier to modify a Bios to work for the motherboard then to modify the existing Bios to work for the chip.

[DeathBringer]

No way to add into original BIOS support for Ivy Bridge.

Dang! Well, that stinks. Thanks for looking anyhow!
