BIOS name need to be mod M2N-E

[Misko]

I try to flash M2N-SLI dlx BIOS on M2N-E, and with every program i try (awdflash, ezflash, asus update) the same thing happend, utility recognize that it's not M2N-E bios (not same motherboard) and wouldn't flash on it. So now i'm looking for some BIOS editor, i need just to rename BIOS spec, M2N-SLI >> M2N-E. Does anybody know some BIOS editor and how can i do that. The other option is always to program BIOS with separate BIOS programer, but i think it's easier with BIOS editor.

p.s. sorry for my bad english

The reason it won't let you do it is because it will probably not work and kill your board...

U are wrong, it's same board (chipset is same M2N-E is not 570ultra, it's 570SLI like M2N-SLI) and when u swap BIOS cips from M2N-SLI to M2N-E (pullout and replace) it's working like nothing happends, people already try that, so i just need to rename BIOS so i can flash it.

ok i will try.

MISKO, PLZ help. how did you flash it and what did you type. i tried AWDFLASH.EXE 0402.BIN/F and it comes up with some screen saying aWDflash utility
AWDFLASH [filename1] [filename2]
FILENAME1 = bios to flash
FILENAME 2 = save current bios as

i tried AWFLASH.EXE and it comes to the screen where i have to enter the name and if i type 0402.bin. it says bios name doesnt match and if i try 0402.bin/f, or even 0402.bin/ it says floppy disk not ready no matter what i type after the 0402.bin/ .
PLZ HELP. And can you OC properly now

Actually its don now. i tried awdflash.exe 0402.bin /F
before i was trying awdflash 0402.bin/F
BUT it doesnt really OC well either, its the same as the M2N-e, it just resets the OC everytime the computer is reset

Hi, finaly i did, but is the same, i think that the only form to have more vdim is with the vmod.....

PD: sorry for my bad english

When M2N-E motherboard (1.95VDIMM MAX) is flashed w/ M2N-SLI BIOS and you set a higher VDIMM (example 2.2V) does it realy changes de vdimm to that voltage? Anyone meassured w/ voltmeter in the Vdimm read point? Or it tops at 1.95V anyway?


EDIT to add links:
Here the vdimm read point:

No, if u hit 2.2 in BIOS, board will set to default like nothing happend??? Maybe engeners who work in Asus eint fools , so mod is not 100% posible, or maybe we must use external way to write BIOS in bios chip because in dos he overwrites only some part of the -E BIOS, not 100%. I don't know.

I might be able to try that next weekend, if I have a bit of spare time at work. I have access to an eeprom programmer Btw you could verify the memory voltage fact by switching plcc32 chips with the m2n-sli deluxe.

I have access to an eeprom programmer .

The only thing i didn't try. I try to flash in dos, it works, but when I try to change some V in BIOS it doesn't work, SLI have some other V settings that -E doesn't have. Like HT link, or V for chip (good things for max OC-ing). -E and SLI have same chipset under heatsink 570SLI (I took of heatsink from -E and i saw 570SLI) so I think they are 99% same boards.

[Misko]

Do not try to flash -E board with -SLI dlx BIOS, if u try to return to -E BIOS, u will kill your board, and only eeprom can bring her to life, so .

if you have problems with soft reset, new bios beta fix it. enjoy
