[REVHEAD]

Gday Pple

First post here ,great Forums BTW


I am wondering if anyone can help me out ,I have searched the internet high and low ,for a ASUS A8R32 MVP Deluxe Modded Bios.

The reason I am after a modded bios, is this board is seriously let down by LOW Vcore Options in the bios ,max 1.520 Vcore for me there are no more options to go Higher.

I have a water cooling setup and want some more Vcore to up my CPU,if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks guys

Hi!

Please take a look at bios for Asrock 775dual-VSTA Click (http://download.asrock.com/bios/775/775Dual-VSTA(1.70).zip)

It has mentioned in MultiLanguage part of rom, available core voltages, but they're not shown in bios itself.
Is there any possibility to unhide vcore regulation?

Thanks in advance.
M.

I'll try every F button :) . Is there a modded bios for this motherboard?

[wittekakker]

Hey Toni,
Is there a good guide (one you personaly prefer -being a BIOS mod legend-) for modding AMI BIOS? I'm very new in this, but I'm willing to learn averything about it.
Hope you can help me with this.

[ShaTR]

Hey tony,

Any chace of a modded bios for MSI K8NGM2-NBP. all i need is a higher fsb selection (only allows 250, but 300 would be perfect, 270 required). also, if at all possible, more voltage options (vdimm, vcore, etc) but not necessary.


thanks.

[VaCreeper]

Howzabout the Asus Crosshair. The BIOS provided is Cr#*. Has anyone fooled around with this board??

TY

[Dualist]

Any chance you could look at the Tyan Thunder K8WE BIOS.? There are no overclocking options whatsoever and the latest BIOS has just given support to the 7950GX2's but only one, add a second and there are IRQ errors which they claim are a fault at their end but haven't bothered to rectify anything yet.
Thanks very much in advance, I wish I could do what you do.
Here's a linky to the BIOS...
http://www.tyan.com/support/html/b_s2895.html

[Soulburner]

0406 DFI NF4 bios files, all 3 in one zip
VE = venus
EX = Expert
last one is old skool NF4

Added option for "odd divisor correct" removed write cas latency (fixed at 1)
Added hidden options for VE and EX Vdimm to over 4V and chipset to 2V
Relaxed all timings as per BTA bios files for ease at boot, CPC2T etc, should be boot friendly with most dimms.

TRAS may report 0 on reboot, set optimised defaults and reboot back to bios and it should set 8.

I have the Venus loaded here and its clocking real nice, remember this is 3rd party so no warranty off me, DFI or OCZ, use at your own risk.

Tony


Grab it here (http://tony.i4memory.com/DFI_%20bios_%20files/Modded%20406%20DFI%20files.zip)
As of today is this the most current? I searched through here quite a bit, so sorry if I missed something.

The BIOS i'm using right now on my DFI UT NF4 Ultra-D is from 4/14/05. I have no problems with it, other than the fans cranking to high when coming back from Stand By. I have to restart the computer for the fans to throttle back down. Was this ever fixed?

Thanks

[Soulburner]

Did some more digging and found my answer on page 46 of the Bugs and Fixes thread.

Gonna try out this BIOS.

Edit: Works like a charm. Had to spend a couple hours fighting with the settings to get back into Windows though.

[burnout21]

i finally found this amazing thread!

I am to guess the top dogs around here are Mr tictac, and Mr bigtoe.

i found a post regarding the Shuttle SN41G2 with the FN41 version 1 board.

And there was i bios for it that had been modified. Yay! but the link was broken! :upset:

so could someone modify the bios again?

i really want to use my Athlon XP-M 2500+ in this little shuttle so have a multiplier option is a must! I would also like Vcore options. memory voltage isn't a problem as i wont need to touch that.

The link for the bios is here

http://global.shuttle.com/Download/Download_File.asp?Item=SN41G2

Thank you.

[JWilson]

The only thing amazing about this thread is that 99% of the posts go unanswered....

[Ubermann]

I guess thats 99.9% cuz i really dont think he has time with this.
Thread should die out or be removed.

[burnout21]

TBH tictac and bigtoe do these modifications in there own time. so its only fair to wait, they dont have to do it.

If anyone out there has the modified bios for a Shuttle SN41G2 V1.

Thank you.

[ReelMonza]

They only seem to be care about high-end mobos...

[[cTx]Philosophy]

I second lestats request for the DS3..

These bios' they come out with are just garbage for me..

the DS3 cant be modded.

the S3 and S2 can though. or atleast can be accessed and changed but i thought someone said you cant actually save the new bios, only look around at it.

there really isnt much else that needs to be in the DS3 bios except more chipset voltage.
they upped the vdimm to 2.5 which is more than enough for anything but FatBodies.

Hahaha that it true

Well can any one, Big Toe , or would some one else be willing to do me a modded bios for a Asus A8R32 MVP deluxe ,with Higher Vcore and if possable add the DFI Uli 1.20 raid rom into it as well please.


### Edit ,Yeah sorry pple I was just trying to promt a reply in a joking way ,I was in no way trying to dissrespect anyone,I have edited my post to reflect what I wanted to get accross

[BenchZowner]

You can add more Vcore options on the software side ( BIOS )...but the hardware needs to be on par aswell.
You need to perform some Vmods ( such as Vcore mod ) to get higher voltages.

By the way, please don't play with BigToe's name, as this sounds like disrespect.
And Tony ( BigToe ) shouldn't be treated with disrespect as his a good guy, with lots of history in the HW Community, and he's been always helpful to every1.

I fully agree. Poeple need to realize that BigToe's got a job in his real life and their problems sure don't have highest priority for him. It's a really nice move that he even offered his help at all. ;)

Epox EP-8NPA SLi if you have the time :)
anything to make it more stable for overclocking.
then i can brag about how i was lucky enough to get a BigToe modded bios :banana: :woot:

As I doubt Bigtoe will find the time, I did what's possible with this latest BIOS (based on 83js6811):

http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~madocer/BIOS/(1)NE.BIN

And please don't ask what's new. I don't have the time for that. Have a thorough look at it and then you should spot the differences. There was not really much to do. BTW, select the options from the drop down menu and not with "+" and "-", as some options don't have a name, thus they aren't displayed normally. ;) You'll figure it out, I hope.

Should be no problem using it, but as always: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! No GUARANTEE FROM MY SIDE!

[Jird]

gues that requesting a modded ASUS bios (for A8N-SLI) is still hopeless? or is it possible yet?

[celemine1Gig]

I already got some that I did some time ago. This should be the latest:

http://people.freenet.de/celemine1Gig/BIOS/A8NSB014M.BIN

[celemine1Gig]

@ celemine1Gig: It appears that you edited the _EN_CODE.BIN rom module. Why did you not add labels/names to the settings you made selectable?


You are right. The answer is: Too much hassle. The functions work and that's what counts. When editing in some names, it would've changed adresses, the checksum would've needed to be corrected and so on. So, I just left it at that. Asus didn't give the functions names and that stayed that way with my BIOS version. If you want to change that, feel free to do so. But don't be surprised if you get a corrupted BIOS then. ;)

[celemine1Gig]

What did you change in the _EN_CODE.BIN module....?

Yes it is a hassle to add the names, but if done correctly, it doesn't corrupt the BIOS. I do it all the time. You have to re-label everything to make room for the new labels, but you must use only the available space. See my Rebels Haven BIOS Workshop....

I know, but I still won't do it. Compare to the original, then you'll know. Got no time, sorry. Exam in a few hours. :eek:

[Jird]

:banana: awsome, thnx a lot!!! :clap: going to try this, maybe as soon as this weekend or else the weekend after that. can you name what the change's are? (will come across eventualy but like to know before I start)

[pixelgod51]

hi, im friends with (1)ne:D , he told me about you guys, i was wondering if someone could make me a custom bios with a little more overclocking options, again my mobo is a MSI P4MAM2-V, i would really appreciate it,
Thanx again:)

[AsAsIn8eR]

Tony can you do something about the DFI Infinity UltraII M2.?

[STEvil]

How do I convert a ".bak" file generated by "winphlash" to a .rom or .bin?

Trying to unlock options in the linked bios, but getting nowhere :(

Also, any way to update microcode so it supports 800fsb and up meroms? :D

EDIT

Anything that can be done for this one? Selectable memory ratios and cas/trcd/trp/tras etc would be very nice.. SuperMicro X7DAL-E motherboard which quite a few of the XS DC team are using. Also using the X7DAE.

Had a quick look at it and can't help, unfortunately. None of the tools in my posession work. Neither MMtool 3.12, nor AMIbcp3.13. :(
Hope someone else will be able to help.

[STEvil]

I can open the X7DAL-E and X7DAE bioses with Pheonix Bios Editor, but beyond poking around to see what the bioses have in them i'm far too inexperienced to play with values that way ;)

[celemine1Gig]

Hmm, didn't even try with a Phoenix Editor. Perhaps I'll find the time to do so later. Had assumed that these were AMI BIOSes. :)

[STEvil]

Did some digging.

Here's a link to the 1.15 bios for the m5750. I'll poke it and see what I can get.. doubt much ;)


Also here is the 1.20 bios for the m5790 which apparently must just be a 5750 because its in the same location as the 5550/5750 bios.

5550/5750 1.15: ftp://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m5750/BIOS/m5750_BIOS_1.15W.zip

[ziddey]

P5B ehh, i will take a peak, in the maen time have a look at the vreg for the vdimm, it may already be maxed out and nothing but a hard mod will get you what you need.
Hey, sorry to bring out an old post, but any new info on this?

If it's of any interest, I seem to have a newer revision p5b vanilla board.

It allows vmch up to 1.70v (while I haven't verified that they all work, when I set higher than 1.25v, like 1.40 or 1.55, I do get more stability in higher fsb).

But the thing about vdimm. Traditionally, I've only seen p5b vanillas support up to 2.10v.

However, in my new revision, I have options for 2.00, 2.05, 2.10, 2.15, 2.25, 2.30, 2.35, 2.40, 2.45, if I recall correctly (didn't include those under 2.0).

That said, when I take a dmm and actually measure vdimm, I get some interesting results.

2.00: 2.08
2.05, 2.10, 2.15: 2.12
2.25, 2.30, 2.35, 2.40: 2.37
2.45: 2.55

So it does look like the vreg is definitely not maxed out, at least in my board. However, I'd really like to be able to have vdimm definitions more in the 2.2's. Currently, of the settings, it's really only setting 2.08, 2.12, 2.37, and 2.55 as the actual outcomes. If 2.20, 2.25, 2.30 actual could be realized, it'd be phenomenal.

FWIW, I've had all these vdimm settings with both the stock bios (second most recent iteration) as well as most recent bios. I didn't do vdimm measurements except with current one.

I understand if you're really busy. If you could point me in the right direction, I could try to see what I can do with my very limited knowledge. I've tried modbin6 but it seems to not want to open the file. It did say to be in dos/9x, and I tried in an nt environment so that could very well be why.

edit: trying amibcp right now

edit2: hmm gen8 only.

Also, I've found a resistor to pencil shade that'll cause leg6 of vreg and ground to decrease in resistance. However, the outcome was somehow opposite of expected. Instead of realizing a vdimm gain, 1.8v became 1.45v, and needless to say, the chips didn't post. If I could perhaps be able to drop 2.37v to 2.25v (0.12v drop) and hope that my chips post at 1.8v (which will become 1.68v) then it might be good enough for me. Worst comes to worst, maybe I'll change spd to really low clocks and weak timings to get them to post.

Can someone tell me how to get modbin6 to work with the bios for a Gigabyte 965p-ds3 rev 3.3? I listed a link to the bios below and when I try to open it with modbin6, it states its not compressed. The Bios is an Award Biod v6.0PG.

http://tw.giga-byte.com/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2456

I've tried various versions of modbin6 with no success. The latest I could version of modbin6 find was 2.01.01.

[Syndicate]

Is it possible for someone to make a Gigabyte 965P DS3P bios from a Gigabyte 965P DS4, as the mobo is exactly the same, I've tried to flash my DS3P with the latest F8 bios from the DS4, but it gives me a check sum error, the latest bios for the DS3P is only a F4 bios.

[celemine1Gig]

You can always use forceflash at your own risk!Just use a dos flashing utility and type in "/?" to show the options. For the award dos tool, the option is "/f" to force flash, regardless of the checksum. ;)

Hi,

Was looking for a BIOS for P5B -Plus other than stock.

Most of its contents are fine Vcore, Vdimm etc etc, but needs cpu/fsb setting (1:1 / 2:1/ 1:2? ... )

It might have already been done, maybe you could steer me in that direction.

Hello Tony,

I have a question. A friend of mine has this mobo,
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=291&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=

based on the Intel 845 Chipset. Could you modifie a bios that would support a 800mhz Bus? He's running a crappy 1.8Ghz northwood and I found a 3.2ghz northwood in a dead mobo, but I'm not sure it will work on the bios/chipset he has now... Could you help us please? He's not like spending much money on computer items and he's also not very rich...

-devastatioN.

[seiledt]

MOBO has 1.8v limitation on the vdimms. I would love to be able to modify the vdimm voltage to at least 2.1 so I can use some of the better memory on my rig.

[ziddey]

maybe remove some settings he doesn't understand :p

[biohead]

You can add more Vcore options on the software side ( BIOS )...but the hardware needs to be on par aswell.
You need to perform some Vmods ( such as Vcore mod ) to get higher voltages.
iirc when you pop a clawhammer in you can go as high as 1.55v (as that is its max VID value) and then add another 0.2v with the overvolt option resulting in 1.75vcore. So the hardware itself is up to par I guess.

Right now i can't go higher than 1.52v :( and I think this chip could use some more juice to reach its max potential. 3500mhz 1.6v for 24/7 use would be nice :yepp:

Tony... when you have the time, could you pleeeeeeeeeeeeease look into this? I would really really really appriciate that :) I'll be running WCG 24/7 if that motivates you any!! :p:

Tony's last response in this thread is exactly one year ago! :) Why do some people refuse to realize that.

IMHO, it was time to close this thread long ago. But that's just my 2 cent. If he modded a single bios on request in the last year, then I stand corrected, but I highly doubt it.

does somebody has a modded bios for abit ip35pro ?
