HP H-IG41-uATX 45nm microcode update LGA771/775 verified working

[verny]

Hi all, not sure if too many people are experimenting with this board, but I have had good luck with it and they are dirt cheap on ebay to build a secondary PC/etc. This board is commonly found in the HP 500B business PC and many other HP/Compaqs as well. Board is also known as the Hp Eton or Foxconn 2A8C.

I'm currently running an LGA771 Xeon E5450 in mine, and have taken the latest 6.10a BIOS and modified it with the newest dual-core/quad-core microcodes from 2010. Please note I have removed all support for 65nm CPUs from this BIOS. All 45nm CPUs should be supported (LGA

771 Xeons, Core 2 Duo/Quad, Pentium, Celeron).

I have tested this BIOS on three separate systems now using the H-IG41-uATX motherboard with various CPUs and have had no issues at all. 

Best way I have found to flash this is rename the file to AMIBOOT.ROM, place it on a USB flash drive plugged into a rear USB port, and hold CTRL-HOME buttons down while powering up....continue to hold until after the HP logo appears/disappears and that will start the AMI boot-block recovery process which will install this BIOS. Also note that holding CTRL-F10 at start-up does reveal some normally hidden BIOS options. This BIOS does have SLIC 2.1 in it too.

Biggest limitation with this board is it can only take 4GB of DDR3 (2x2GB 1066/1333Mhz). It can take 8GB (2x4GB double-sided low-density 16-chip modules 1066/1333) only when using 800MHz FSB CPU's such as the Pentium E5800 - memory only runs at 800MHz maximum though.

Please note that while I have tested this throughly (my main PC uses this motherboard because I'm cheap ), I can't assume liability for your results....proceed at you own risk.

Hi, I have some questions, My native idiom is not english so I will do my best, a friend of mine was going to throw this pc but he gave it to me so y could erase all his data and i am thinking of making this pc a little better so i can use it on the village of my family because my pc (which is already gamer) is very very heavy.


what rev is your motherboard, mine is 1.0, and the last question is wich xeon do you recomend me for the amd hd 6450 ( a friend of mine is going to sell it to me for 10 bucks so im going to use it because the pc had a hp gt210 which doesnt even have support for driect x 11

thanks for everything.

edit: i have been reading some people saying they have 6gb of ram, how is it?

G41 chipset does not support FSB 1600MHz CPUs. It supports up to 1333MHz FSB.
I cannot read Spanish? I only understood "X5472 Compatible" part.

Almost 2 months have passed since you wrote, you probably got this answer from the internet.
