BIOS mod for ASUS C90S

[9800xpv]

Hello,

Does anyone knows where I could find a bios modded for ASUS C90S ?

I should want to set by myself the ram timings.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if anyone can mod the BIOS for ASUS C90S to enable 1066Mhz FSB Wolfdale (45nm) CPUs, e.g E7200, E7300, E7400...

If I were to mod the BIOS myself, which tools are needed to inject CPU-ids for 45nm CPUs?

If installing a E7300 ES with latest 1001 BIOS gives "CPU microcode load error" on POST... the CPU is correctly identified, but CPU microcode error halts the boot process... any advice would be appreciated?

I was able to find the right tools to inject an updated CPU-list extracted from the AsRock Conroe945-DVI beta BIOS 1.91 available from a German website.

The updated CPU list is injected into and replaces the CPU-list in the standard Asus BIOS 1002. I then boot with a flash-usb drive with the modded bios named c90s.rom in the root of the drive. Power up and press ALT+F2 to start auto-recovery flashing using EZ-flash which will search optical and USB-drives for a bios file (c90s.rom).

Reboot, enter BIOS, load setup defaults, save.

Tested working with E5200 and E7300 ES.

PM me for a copy of the updated BIOS, I call it 1003.
