Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Also, to play it on the safe side, you may want to have them program the unlocked bios found in the award unlocked section of the forum.

Hello, please help me TheWiz, I would be very indebted to you!

I have this same mobo and I am desperate to getting this AM3 processor to work. Could you explain in layman's terms how to use your modded bios file? I have looked all over these threads but can't seem to get anywhere.

Thinking of returning cpu or buying new mobo if it doesn't work.

* I might be having the same problem as the thread

But with a different mobo bios.


Hi,

http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-HP...ng-Options

I installed the bios mod above (TheWiz,Kev711) and it works great, so I bought an AMD Phenom II x4 980 BE, however CPU-Z is only showing it with a x4 modifier, 800mhz core speed and 0.992 volts.

I noticed in the thread above the guy had the same problem I did and someone mentioned something about adding a cpu microcode. Apparently it didn't work or something.

Could someone please assist me with my problem? I don't know if the microcode is the answer, I was just throwing it out there for those who know what might be wrong.

Also I got no video when i first installed the 980, I guessed it might be the PSU since its only 550w. So I installed my old gpu and I was able to get video. Not sure if the PSU is causing this problem, but just thought I would mention it.

Thank you very much,
Aleos49

Found this:

" Of course, Cool'n'Quite is present with this model as well as with any other Phenom II or Athlon II model for that matter. When idling, C'n'C will drop clock all the way to 800 MHz per core, and core voltage will go down to just below 1.00 V, saving a good deal of power draw."

on this site: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/P...II_X4_980/

Is that what's going on?

I turned C'nQ off and no change still running at 800mhz, 4x max multiplier, 66w Max TDP, .992v.

Sigh, hope this is fixable.

Thanks

I think I have corrupted the bios of the motherboard. I flashed your bios again, this time with WinFlash (do not ask me why I did it ), because I previously flashed from dos with awdflash. The operation was completed, I restarted the PC but have not been able to turn it on, in any way.
I tried to flash the bios changing it again hot on another motherboard with the same connector, but awdflash fails to flash.
Is there a way to flash this motherboard if the bios is corrupt?

Uh oh , thats why you dont use winflash :S

If the recovery instructions aren't successful , you can purchase a new bios chip on eBay thats been pre-programmed

They cost about $20 i think
