Unfortunately , the only thing hidden is one setting under Hardware Monitor which to be honest with you isnt worth risking the bios flash for
Sorry , the only step left to try if your willing to take the risk (And its a BIG risk!) would be to try and find a retail motherbaord that the OEM board is based off

The "Official" motherboards on ECS's website (
www.ecs.com.tw) that seem to match your motherboard are:
945GCT-M (V1.0)
945GCT-M2/1333 (V1.0A)
Both of these motherboards have an AMI bios. If your willing to take the risk , theres a small chance that one of these retail bioses will work on your board. Il do some more research into the differences between the two boards and your own.

Interesting , the HP board supports 800mhz FSB CPU's while the official 945GCT-M (V1.0) supports 1066mhz FSB CPU's and the Official 945GCT-M2/1333 supports 1333mhz FSB CPU's!
The 945GCT-M (V 1.0) looks like your best bet for a bios match but you attempt this at your own risk!

What would be really interesting is if the difference in FSB speeds is hardware or BIOS related. For example , HP may have just used microcodes for specific 800mhz FSB CPU's so theres a small chance that the retail BIOS MAY add 1066mhz FSB support but thats a guess!

thankyou so much admin! by the way, i really have 3 same mobos like this and the BIOS are removable but that doesnt matter, i gonna do this in any case that fail and get corrupted, i can recovery via DOS right? if it cant i just trash it, but if this really help me out im gonna do this to the 3
i post when i finish this issue again thank you so much!
pd: excuse me for my poor english hehe
If you have 3 similar boards then you can restore your BIOS since it's removable. Very lucky of you
Obviously focus on getting one working before flashing to the other 2
Let us know how you get along
