**Official DFI LanParty UT 790FX-M2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

Actually AWARD Flasher 8.83 is the recommended one from RGone and I agree with Robert on that one and its been hard road getting that figured out through trial and error on my end.

I was using the one that DFI has with their bios.... 8.90.

I went through 6 or 8 floppies trying to find one that would format... then I gave up and made a bootable USB stick... MUCH better. And much more stable than a floppy.

The last thing you want to hear while flashing is the floppy drive starting to do the "re-read" shuffle. Sadly while rebuilding the machine... the faceplate on the floppy came off... and I blew about 12 years worth of dust out of there. Then I realized this is the same floppy I've been using since 486 days... everything else has been changed multiple times.

BTW: When I hooked my drives up to the new MB/Phenom Vista updated all my drivers and everything worked very well. (I was ready to re-load... but never got around to it.) BUT going back to the old motherboard... it's all messed up and I HAD to reload. I think it has something to do with the ACPI stuff on the motherboards. (I'm guessing.)
