HP MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) 5.27 With Unlocked Overclocking Options

[TheWiz]

AWDBIOS= Ancient out of date stuff.

At least start with using modbin, then cbrom, and then learn binary and hex. I can get into specifics over PM.

I just did twice...
Do NOT use incompatible BIOS-chips!!

THIS one works fine even with logo but without all the OC-stuff (it has, but not all)...

did it fix the fan prob? how about the beta one?

did you have to /f award flash? mine didnt like it when I tried the first time.

i have 2 iris8 boards, they seem to have exactly the same bios chip

Iris8 is the same deal as nettle2 minus 2 RAM slots. /f is normally needed when flashing bioses not intended for the board. Then again I used my bios programmer, so I wouldnt know. The fan issue sld be easily fixed with repalcing the HP acpitbl at least 4 the abit bios. Fofr the biostar, what OC options are missing, and how is phenom support lookin.

successfull flash biostar beta bios and oringal bios.

way cooler overclock functions.

oringinal bios didnt detect 4450E processor, newer bios did. didnt affect startup ether way other then "unknown processor" and continued to boot windows.

lots of voltage options. didnt see a clock multiplier, but havent played to much yet.

crazy fan issues. doesnt detect sys fan rpm at all and cpu fan rpm is way off. you can manually adjust settings in smart fan thou, i set some crazy temps in it to get the fan speed down to normal on the cpu.

note. had to use /f to flash bios. usb keyboard disabled by default, be sure to enable it on first boot

Edit#1 - Min(default) ram voltage 1.95 (fine for me, maybe not fine for people with 1.8v ram) goes up to 2 somthing. can increase chipset, cpu, hypertransport voltages by preset percentages. still kinda cool. all overclock options in one menu. Really cool! supposedly you can hold down insert and press power button to boot with default fsb so you dont have to manually clear cmos (from biostar manual) have not tried it yet.
This bios does have a splash screen I suspect someone could play with


will play more in a bit

I think it's time for a new beta...
banana19 got it right, me too can't find the multiplier setting...

[TheWiz]

I can easily add the latest AGESA and 28K NCPUCODE.BIN so your proccesor is picked up. Interesting stuff. I assume you two are interested in the link above?

[MrTangoWhisky]

Yes i am
is there anything against my logo's? if not I will build it into...
