download LiveUpdate 3 and don't use the auto update, go to the liveupdate folder and then you will see Award folder and then WinFlash.exe and follow this instructions, make sure to select all options on the left

Thanks for the help, the bios flashed but CPUZ still shows version 6.00PG. Why?

[egyteam]

did you check all the options on the left ?

[cupholder2.0]

did you check all the options on the left ?

Everything expect the clear CMOS and CMOS default. My bios also has max FSB of 265, I hope this is because of my crappy bios version?

[cupholder2.0]

not sure..... but does it show the right version in "standard cmos features/system information" in the bios?

I will check.

[egyteam]

did you load optimized default settings before flashing ?

[cupholder2.0]

Bios says Version W7246IMS V.7.1B1

[Core2Extremist]

i would say thats 711 no? not sure why cpu-z is acting up, thats interesting, 4n70n if ur still around here can you check what your cpu-z says since you have it updated alrdy as well

[egyteam]

Bios says Version W7246IMS V.7.1B1

that's mean it has been flashed with the new version.

what was the orginal bios you have when you got the mobo, 7.0 ?

[cupholder2.0]

To be honest I really have no idea what bios I started with becuase CPUZ called my first bios 6.00PG, when I flashed it to the new one it still calls it 6.0PG even though it isn't. I didn't check system information in the bios before flashing either, so I probably won't ever know. Anyway my max FSB is still 265 . What do you guys see for max FSB? BTW I am using an ES Pentium D 950.

[Core2Extremist]

im pretty sure it was 7.0 for him ya, he originally said his was "6" but from what I read he said up top, he mentions "my bios is "still" 6.00PG" so I think he was checking it thru Cpu-Z originally while it was always reading it wrong.

Edit: Ya I thought so Cupholder lol, i knew it was weird evryones was 7 and urs was the only one with 6... but umm yea maybe its that cpu thats locking it at 265 but really cant be sure, altho I know 4n70n overclocked his alrdy up to 400fsb I think with that bios so shouldnt be a problem

I suggest to use the final version on MSI site version 7.0 and reflash the bios with it.

be sure to load optimized default settings before you flah, and choose all options on the left in winflash program, after the flash finishes, a message will ask you to restart, choose NO and then shutdown your PC, unplug your power cord and clear CMOS, power on the PC and load optimzed default settings

[egyteam]

[Core2Extremist]

altho i doubt its the actual bios itself even tho its not "officialy" supported yet on the msi site, I really think its the way you flashed it, if you did any kind of overclocking on that chip and did not do "load optimized default settings" before you flashed that can mess things up easy

[cupholder2.0]

I don't think it was set to "Load Optimized Defaults". So I will try this agian tommorow. Since I just installed a fresh windows install and I also reset my CMOS, windows said my 30 day validation period is over and I must activate, but I am too lazy so I will do it tommorow...lol. Anyway I must also fix my heat problems, as I write this (on my second system) my main system is idling in bios at 57 on stock settings .

Nice, whats the max your MSI/TeamXtreem will go? Have the same setup coming on Friday though with e6400.

Its supposed to say 6.00PG. This is the actual version of the Award Bios software, and NOT the version of BIOS written for the motherboard.

Right now i can't past FSB 420....

[NickS]

WinFlash = blowz0r, do it the old fashioned ways guys, or even with a USB stick!

[Reflex1]

i don't belive i just flicked through 7 pages of this thread ...without any results

[kman540]

I know. Someone out there must have one ready to go. I get mine tonight,
E6600 comes Friday.

Heres some advice if it hasnt been said before. VPCIE goes hand in hand with VMCH, stock unmodded board Kyosen can hit 454fsb. (with 1.8v VPCIE select)

[Eldonko]

You guys having any OVP issues with this board w/ high vcore?
