Can't believe no one started a thread in here for modding the L1N64. Just wondering if anyone ever got around to setting all CPU's to "Able to change freq = YES" in the BIOS and if anyone managed to get the ability to increase core voltage without a hardmod?
I'll take a crack at looking through the BIOS when I get home from work but I can tell you right now, I'm an Xtreme Amateur.
Well, I went looking through the BIOS using AMIBCP.exe to see what I could find. I found the CPU Voltage and CPU Multiplier entries and they were set to Reserved access/user level. So I went ahead and changed them over to User, renamed the BIOS version to include my name, and saved it. Put it on a thumb drive and flashed it. Now my system hangs on post. The "CrashFree BIOS 3 Utility" thats built onto this mobo apparently isn't working since its not auto loading the old rom from the cd and I don't think the checksum is messed up.
Anyone got any ideas other than RMA?
I had a computer do that once to me after flashing bios. After a while all i did was clear cmos and it worked. Not saying it will work but its worth a try. Good luckQuote:

Nope. Didn't work. Not even getting to the USB check so the keyboard doesn't even work. I wonder if using a ps/2 keyboard would get me any further. Again, lets find out.
Well, that didn't get me anywhere either. I'm at a lose again. The funny thing is that I've only had this system up for a couple of days and I already go ahead and screw it up. And there goes my 17K PPD.
how could you not change the frequency on that board?? thats the dual 1207 board correct?? i once owned me one and had no problems overclocking my fx70's
maybe it has something to do with you having opterons in?
Yeah, I assume that it has something to do with the opterons. It is the /B board so its got the BIOS for opterons, but they show as "Able to change freq = NO" and its grayed out. However, I can increase the bus speed but it doesn't actually do anything. CPU's are still clocked at stock, and with the +100mv increase set for CPU Overvoltage it still didn't show any signs of changing. I just wanted to get that Able to change Freq to be always YES no matter what cpu was in there.
man thats a bummer... i didnt have the board for long.. but from the time i had i was in love with it!
i hope you get that fixed.. cuz its a shame if you don't!
and possible way of calling asus and getting a new bios chip for it (that is if you know how to replace the bios chip.. and it is not soldered on)... i know they sent out chips for their craptastic 680i's that constantly had corrupt bios... i don't see the harm in asking for one for your motherboard now
Thanks. I already have an RMA open with them due to the problems I was having with the memory when I first got the board (Was using unbuffered instead of the needed Registered) so I think I'm just gonna send it back to them. I mean I only got the board like a month ago or so. Once I get it back I'll look into doing what msimax did and desolder the BIOS chip and socket it.Quote:
