Bigtoe's modded bios thread.

[celemine1Gig]

Epox EP-8NPA SLi if you have the time
anything to make it more stable for overclocking.
then i can brag about how i was lucky enough to get a BigToe modded bios

...btw how you do it?

As I doubt Bigtoe will find the time, I did what's possible with this latest BIOS (based on 83js6811):

http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~madocer/BIOS/(1)NE.BIN

And please don't ask what's new. I don't have the time for that. Have a thorough look at it and then you should spot the differences. There was not really much to do. BTW, select the options from the drop down menu and not with "+" and "-", as some options don't have a name, thus they aren't displayed normally. You'll figure it out, I hope.

Should be no problem using it, but as always: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! No GUARANTEE FROM MY SIDE!

gues that requesting a modded ASUS bios (for A8N-SLI) is still hopeless? or is it possible yet?

[celemine1Gig]

I already got some that I did some time ago. This should be the latest:

@ celemine1Gig: It appears that you edited the _EN_CODE.BIN rom module. Why did you not add labels/names to the settings you made selectable?

You are right. The answer is: Too much hassle. The functions work and that's what counts. When editing in some names, it would've changed adresses, the checksum would've needed to be corrected and so on. So, I just left it at that. Asus didn't give the functions names and that stayed that way with my BIOS version. If you want to change that, feel free to do so. But don't be surprised if you get a corrupted BIOS then.

[celemine1Gig]

What did you change in the _EN_CODE.BIN module....?

Yes it is a hassle to add the names, but if done correctly, it doesn't corrupt the BIOS. I do it all the time. You have to re-label everything to make room for the new labels, but you must use only the available space. See my Rebels Haven BIOS Workshop....

I know, but I still won't do it. Compare to the original, then you'll know. Got no time, sorry. Exam in a few hours.

[Jird]

awsome, thnx a lot!!! going to try this, maybe as soon as this weekend or else the weekend after that. can you name what the change's are? (will come across eventualy but like to know before I start)

[pixelgod51]

hi, im friends with (1)ne , he told me about you guys, i was wondering if someone could make me a custom bios with a little more overclocking options, again my mobo is a MSI P4MAM2-V, i would really appreciate it,
Thanx again

[AsAsIn8eR]

Tony can you do something about the DFI Infinity UltraII M2.?

[STEvil]

How do I convert a ".bak" file generated by "winphlash" to a .rom or .bin?

Trying to unlock options in the linked bios, but getting nowhere

Also, any way to update microcode so it supports 800fsb and up meroms?

EDIT

Anything that can be done for this one? Selectable memory ratios and cas/trcd/trp/tras etc would be very nice.. SuperMicro X7DAL-E motherboard which quite a few of the XS DC team are using. Also using the X7DAE.

X7DAE: http://www.supermicro.com/support/bi...p/7DAE1267.zip

[celemine1Gig]

Had a quick look at it and can't help, unfortunately. None of the tools in my posession work. Neither MMtool 3.12, nor AMIbcp3.13.
Hope someone else will be able to help.

[STEvil]

I can open the X7DAL-E and X7DAE bioses with Pheonix Bios Editor, but beyond poking around to see what the bioses have in them i'm far too inexperienced to play with values that way

[celemine1Gig]

Hmm, didn't even try with a Phoenix Editor. Perhaps I'll find the time to do so later. Had assumed that these were AMI BIOSes.

[STEvil]

Did some digging.

Here's a link to the 1.15 bios for the m5750. I'll poke it and see what I can get.. doubt much


Also here is the 1.20 bios for the m5790 which apparently must just be a 5750 because its in the same location as the 5550/5750 bios.

5550/5750 1.15: ftp://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m...BIOS_1.15W.zip
5790: 1.20:
ftp://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m..._Bios1.20N.zip

FTP link: ftp://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m5750/BIOS/

edit - bah, the bios files are hidden in the iso

P5B ehh, i will take a peak, in the maen time have a look at the vreg for the vdimm, it may already be maxed out and nothing but a hard mod will get you what you need.

Hey, sorry to bring out an old post, but any new info on this?

If it's of any interest, I seem to have a newer revision p5b vanilla board.

It allows vmch up to 1.70v (while I haven't verified that they all work, when I set higher than 1.25v, like 1.40 or 1.55, I do get more stability in higher fsb).

But the thing about vdimm. Traditionally, I've only seen p5b vanillas support up to 2.10v.

However, in my new revision, I have options for 2.00, 2.05, 2.10, 2.15, 2.25, 2.30, 2.35, 2.40, 2.45, if I recall correctly (didn't include those under 2.0).

That said, when I take a dmm and actually measure vdimm, I get some interesting results.

2.00: 2.08
2.05, 2.10, 2.15: 2.12
2.25, 2.30, 2.35, 2.40: 2.37
2.45: 2.55

So it does look like the vreg is definitely not maxed out, at least in my board. However, I'd really like to be able to have vdimm definitions more in the 2.2's. Currently, of the settings, it's really only setting 2.08, 2.12, 2.37, and 2.55 as the actual outcomes. If 2.20, 2.25, 2.30 actual could be realized, it'd be phenomenal.

FWIW, I've had all these vdimm settings with both the stock bios (second most recent iteration) as well as most recent bios. I didn't do vdimm measurements except with current one.

I understand if you're really busy. If you could point me in the right direction, I could try to see what I can do with my very limited knowledge. I've tried modbin6 but it seems to not want to open the file. It did say to be in dos/9x, and I tried in an nt environment so that could very well be why.

edit: trying amibcp right now

edit2: hmm gen8 only.

Also, I've found a resistor to pencil shade that'll cause leg6 of vreg and ground to decrease in resistance. However, the outcome was somehow opposite of expected. Instead of realizing a vdimm gain, 1.8v became 1.45v, and needless to say, the chips didn't post. If I could perhaps be able to drop 2.37v to 2.25v (0.12v drop) and hope that my chips post at 1.8v (which will become 1.68v) then it might be good enough for me. Worst comes to worst, maybe I'll change spd to really low clocks and weak timings to get them to post.

Tony,
What about Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA?

Thanks,

I 've req .. enybody have modded Bios (with setting Vcore) for 7NF-RZ
I've F4 ver. but unfortunatelly without Vcore Setting..
I wrote to gigabyte service and i got none answer..and sign.
i know that older mobo, but maybe someone tried and have moding this bios

Plzz help) & B. ReGArdz..

[stroths]

Can someone tell me how to get modbin6 to work with the bios for a Gigabyte 965p-ds3 rev 3.3? I listed a link to the bios below and when I try to open it with modbin6, it states its not compressed. The Bios is an Award Biod v6.0PG.

http://tw.giga-byte.com/Support/Moth...ProductID=2456

I've tried various versions of modbin6 with no success. The latest I could version of modbin6 find was 2.01.01.

[Syndicate]

Is it possible for someone to make a Gigabyte 965P DS3P bios from a Gigabyte 965P DS4, as the mobo is exactly the same, I've tried to flash my DS3P with the latest F8 bios from the DS4, but it gives me a check sum error, the latest bios for the DS3P is only a F4 bios.

[celemine1Gig]

You can always use forceflash at your own risk!Just use a dos flashing utility and type in "/?" to show the options. For the award dos tool, the option is "/f" to force flash, regardless of the checksum.

[zeon]

And ASUS P5PE-VM ? There aren't any overclock settings, not even FSB Anyone?

[zeon]

No bios settings, lets do some BSEL modding

Maybe Tony forgot about us

[quake6]

Can you do something about DFI RDX200 CF-DR?

[WarriorII]

Hi,

Was looking for a BIOS for P5B -Plus other than stock.

Most of its contents are fine Vcore, Vdimm etc etc, but needs cpu/fsb setting (1:1 / 2:1/ 1:2? ... )

It might have already been done, maybe you could steer me in that direction.


Thanks,
WII

[Nanometer]

Tony, I'm surprised I haven't seen a commando BIOS from you yet. Is the board that good?

[Dualist]

I would love a modded bios for a Tyan S2692. Can clock in Systool but need memory dividers as memory is a limiting factor (FB-Dimms)
Please help.
