You don't need to create a new .bio bios file, you just make a new settings configurations and flash that. If you want to change the boot logo or something like that then make a .bio bios file.
I can make a simple tutorial if needed.
Wait can you guys tell me how to get the Default config override feature under Chipset? I can see it in my actual bios but Dont see it here...

Use the ITK Framework Edition and you won't need a BIO file just a config file saved on a bootable diskette. Hit the "Generate Media" and load a bootable diskette and voila, the dos-based ITK will just "unlock" the other options in the BIOS.
Don't forget the Enhanced Power Slope =).....
Really nice to see you guys tweaking an Intel-branded board =)...
Thanks, so your saying that dos based itk will just auto unlock the other features? interesting...and what exactly does the "Enhanced Power Slope " do?
enhanced power slope is something thats supposed to reduce vdroop - and from what i've seen, it actually works

wow thats pretty impressive. Anyway what do you guys think about Intel desktop control center?
This is a quick OC on a spare prescott, it looks cool and all but it starts a little slow and hates all other programs which try to access the Pll, SMBUS, temp sensors etc. If I run any other program which uses these the program instantly crashs and wont work until I reinstall and rebot. Anyone else get this problem?
I put up a quick and dirty ITK tutorial to get people started on the 975XBX who are not blessed with engineering samples or wads of cash for extreme edition processors.
Enjoy.

Just one for now. Don't need the extra SATA ports.
Very nice work. Too bad I dont have much use for it lol, I have an ES so I already got the options. I wonder if there is someway more options can be added lol. Too bad Intel doesn't allow direct FSB changing instead of the percent.Originally Posted by gone_fishin
Per the link provided above by vapb400, BLKD975XBXLKR is the board with 8 sata. This is the only board I am interested in. If you can work out a purchase for this board, I'm still in.Originally Posted by vapb400
I would also assume that none of the retail 'extras' (software, cables, bay inserts, etc) would be included in the oem package. I can live without these extras, but I would like confirmation.
Thanks.

1 percentage changes are small increments.
At 800fsb 1% = 2mhz fsb boost
at 1066 1% = 2.66mhz fsb boost
at 1333 1% = 3.33mhz fsb boost
It works in plus or minus mode so you have a full array of fsb steps from 200 up to 433 with multiple ways to achieve them.
Greetings all.
Could this be the board for me?
A little while back, I had my NewEgg shopping cart all loaded up with my upgrade to an s939 165 (since we all knew AM2 wasn't all that) from my well used p4 2.53 when I read about Conroe...
Now, like so many others, I am anxiously awaiting real results/availability - although I've seen Victor's amazing results, so I guess we all have an inkling of what to expect. I had already resigned myself to waiting until Conroe was released to upgrade and in fact purchased a refurb agp 6800gt (replaced a 9800pro) to hold me over while I explore Oblivion.
Unfortunately, if I were to jump on this board, I will need a stop gap processor while waiting for Conroe. I don't know if that's that big a deal, but I'm not sure what I should get... and perhaps I could ebay it once Conroe is out.
New mobo ($225), new cpu (920? $240? best bang for the buck for now I suppose until the 2.66 Conroe hits?), new air cooling ($50?), new ram ($? Is there 'good enough for Conroe' ddr2 already out?), new video ($300+)... hopefully my powersupply will hold up - its a CompUSA semi generic ("Mad Dog" - don't laugh, I was desperate) '500' watt unit, but seems to do fine.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'd really love to upgrade now, and think this board might be my ticket.
Tad
so who is gonna find the vcore/vdimm mods?

Anyway Im glad Intel is being a lot more OC friendly now.
