Bios Mods - The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source - Confirmed CPU Support Upgrades

Core2Extreme X9000 running amazing on an eMachines D725!!

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 23:44:56 -0400

I can tell you with certainty that the Core 2 Extreme X9000 works perfect on an old eMachines D725 with GL40 chipset (I am writing this with this fresh update), additionally I had already tested the T9500 which worked flawlessly for years. The factory CPU in this notebook was a T4300 for the record.

hi

i confirm the ability to upgrade toshiba satellite a660-17m cpu from intel core i5 450m socket G1 (TDP 35) to i7 840qm (TDP 45) without modded bios.

i'm writing this thread from it.

before upgrading :
1- be sure there is a dedicate graphic card such as nvidia ,ati or amd.
2- the ram type is either 1066 or 1333.

hi

i confirm the ability to upgrade toshiba satellite a660-17m cpu from intel core i5 450m socket G1 (TDP 35) to i7 740qm (TDP 45) without modded bios.

i'm writing this thread from it.

so i'm sure you can upgrade the cpu to i7 840qm (since it same socket and TDP).

i will upgrade it again with i7 840qm

i'm not sure if i can upgrade it ti i7 940xm since it's 55 TDP.

but according to cpu-upgrade website the chipset hm55 support cpu with TDP from 35 to 55

before upgrading :
1- be sure there is a dedicate graphic card such as nvidia or ati or amd.
2- the ram type is either 1066 or 1333.

Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19-U i3-3110m to i5-3210m

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 08:42:13 -0500

Hello !
I can confirm that you can successfully upgraded an Intel i3 3110m to an i5-3210m (socket rPGA 988B) on the official Toshiba Bios 1.40 without any issue
Turbo-Boost Technology is working fine like everything else on that CPU (Temp, Hyperthreading, ...)
The i5 is slightly faster than the i3 on my laptop.

Hope it can help someone, feel free to ask help if needed

(Sorry for my bad english)

Fujitsu TeamPOS 3600 e8600

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 23:42:16 -0400

An e8600 works on the stock bios on this point-of-sale specialty PC. The e8400 is the maximum that the technical manual says it will support, but the e8600 worked out of the bag on two different units I have. I have yet to test quad core processors, but that is next to try.

Hope this helps someone out there. These systems are quite quick for an older LGA775 dual core.

Gateway SX2803-US20P Upgrades Possible

The stock heatsink is enough for a 95w processor if you floor the fan. I have upgraded mine to a q9400 on the stock bios and found an ebay unit that someone upgraded to a q9650:

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

Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:46:01 -0400

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.

HP P5BW-LA : All 1066 Quad Core Support : Q6600/Q6700/QX6800/X3230

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 23:35:25 -0400

I was able to get the v3.17 bios lined up for pretty much all 1333/ 1066 Quad Core CPU's.

It doesn't support Pentium 4's or anything, pretty much only 1333/ 1066 Quad's and pretty much all 1066 variants.

It contains all 1333 microcode as well so its possible it could support 1333 quad's as well with the microcode added.

F25 : 6F2 : 6F6 : 6F7 : 6FB : 6FD : 10676 : 10677 : 1067A

I tested Xeon E5405, E5450, and X5460. All of which didn't work. Maybe you need 1066 memory?

I think since chipset only supports 1066, it overclocks the bus to 1333 bringing ram up to about DDR2-1000.

I tested it and the Q6600 works, the Xeon dual core 3070, Xeon quad L5320.

I think it should support QX6800 2.93Ghz Quad as well.

Only need to enable Advanced Bios Menu. It's a different key combo, I'm sure.

There's an engineer advanced bios key combo for advanced options extras.

Though it's F1 to enter. On F10 Bios, it's CTRL + F10. On F1 BIOS, I have no idea. I tried many different combo's.

If you find out which one it is, let me know? It enabled Multiplier Control, Hardware Monitor fan speed & fan monitoring, C1E, StepSpeed, HyperThreading, among others.

The standard F1 BIOS menu is the "Basic" Menu.

Dell Vostros 400

Thu, 05 Jan 2017 20:38:58 -0500

Hey Guys,

I've got an Dell Vostros 400 and wanted to upgrade the CPU to the highest supporten and bought an Q9550 (SLB8V), flashed the newest BIOS (1.0.15) and changed the CPU. The PC starts fine but Windows wont start and the BIOS wont show the CPU name only the 12MB cache. So maybe the newest E0 stepping is not supported ? Could someone please investigate this and maybe add support ? (Maybe unlock the secrets hidden in this BIOS too )

thanks in advanced and I hope you can help me
Selisho

P.S Yes its the DG33M03 Mainboard which supports quad cores
