First of all, awesome flashing tool. Love the GUI and layout.

I have a quick question, is the 'Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition' the same as the regular P5K Premium board? I was wondering because I was thinking about crossflashing my P5K Deluxe with the Premium BIOS. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

i think so ... please don't forget your feedback about this crossflash if you really test it !

Gotta say I'm {still} loving this tool.

Asus P5K Deluxe with Premium BIOS.

[flywin]

omg :]

more options?

Still the same options but I think it has better memory support. I think with the latest Deluxe BIOS, I had trouble getting my memory up to 500MHz. Flashing to the Premium BIOS, I am stable but I cannot go much higher than that.

TBH, there isn't much difference to go all out and do this. But I thought I'd just try it out since my DFI board is coming today.. and this would be the last time I would be able to use my ASUS board.

Wow! Nicely thought out, simple, clean to use and very helpful. Has all ready saved me time and money.

Would you please post an addy to which I could pp a few bucks by way of thanks? I can pop for a couple of whatever you drink...

Thanks again.

So beyond memory support, what other advantages are there to having this BIOS vs. my P5k Deluxe Wifi/AP's stock BIOS? ... Besides the "because I can" justification(s) ...

Very kind of you ... but just keep using it when you need is really enough for me

Many thanks !

[ickywu]

chuckle. You misunderstand. I flashed a formula se to a new bios only to find out the newer bios broke the board. So, too, the beta available. The DOS and bios based factory flashers would not allow me to roll back my flash. I'm dead in the water with a build I needed to finish and no way to return the mb to functionality. (Asus is STILL working out my advance replacemet, after a week, btw!)

Anyway, found your package tried it, worked like a champ! Somethng under 10 minutes and MB is back in buiiness, I finish the build and I'm a hero. <g> Now, in the meantime, I get to cancel the $300 (including premium freight) replacement before it shipped because you saved my bacon. I got a payday I wouldn't have or I DIDN'T shell out to solve my problem. I haven't told Asus; I'm waiting to see just how long they take on this.

Fair is fair. I'll pm you for the addy. And, hey, don't worry, I'm not gonna send you enough to get exited about...

Rampage Extreme is available on v0.53 Update ... not on the v0.5 CD version.

One week ... something like that
