M2N32-SLI Deluxe AM3 Support Request

[cvat26]

Hello ! Has anyone tested this mod the BIOS to work with six-core processors?

[XLAQO]

Hello,

When I returned from holiday, I realised my old ASUS mobo doesnt work anymore, so I bought ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe, installed latest BETA BIOS, which should support  AM3 CPUs, but my PC doesnt POST. Just blackscreen. After I looked for supported CPUs for this board, I realised, that all CPUs from Athlon II X3 lineup are supported, with exception of mine.


I would like to ask, if someone could make BIOS with updated microcode.
Materials: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3bA26...mM0R3FDRzg (Screens from CPU-Z, BIOS I would like to update, photo of my CPU).

my CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450 RANA
I am sorry for making screens with 1701 BIOS instead of beta 5001, hope it doesnt matter.




Thanks for help !

This BIOS (5001) has required microcode: version - 0xB6, date - 07/31/2009.
But with AGESA version 3.3.2.7, but your CPU (ADX450WFK32GM) officially requires version 3.7.0.0.
Replacing AGESA in BIOS is dangerous!

Can you be more exact ? Is it possible to make it work ? On previous board (ASUS M2AVM) was not supported too, but it worked like a charm. With BETA BIOS board even identified CPU.

[DeathBringer]

I think it's possible. But in bad case you'll receive the dead motherboard.

But I would be able to use CrashFree, wouldnt I ? I think, that I am willing to take a risk, because the difference between my 450 and Supported 445 Athlon is only 100MhZ, so why the heck didnt ASUS add support ?

[DeathBringer]

Can you manually ran CrashFree with "good" BIOS?

[XLAQO]

I dont think that its possible. Crashfree enables itself when it detects "Bad BIOS Checksum". I can use EZFlash with "good" BIOS.

[DeathBringer]

So you can't use CrashFree for BIOS mod with right checksum. And you can't use EZFlash if motherboard will not boot at all.

From what I know, ff BIOS is faulty, CrashFree triggers EZFlash, if I am not mistaken (correct me please if I am). Thats why you cannot use Crashfree with right checksum, because it makes no sense.
