Hey all,
Quick question about BIOS problems I might have:
I got the P5K Deluxe WiFi edition motherboard within a few
days of when it came on the market, so I'm pretty sure it's
flashed from the factory with their very first released BIOS.
I haven't used the board yet since I'm waiting for a S775
CPU -- the Q6600 G0 stepping which has just come out
today.
I'd also like to get 2GBy dual rank x 4 sticks (8GBy)
Micron D9HNL STT PC-5300/667 DDR2 working on it.
What problems am I likely to have with the default (old)
BIOS? Is there any issue with default / buggy
overvolting / overclocking that could harm the CPU or RAM?
Would it likely fail to recognize / boot the G0 step Q6600?
Would I be much better off if I get a lower end
older model CPU like some Pentium D and boot it to
update the BIOS before I risk the Q6600-G0? I don't
have such an alternate processor, but if it's going to fail
to properly boot / volt / clock the Q6600 I guess I'd have
to get the BIOS updated.
Does the board run well with 8GBy in 4 sticks according to
peoples' experiences?
Other major BIOS problems?
What's the best BIOS version to flash to?
BETA? Release?
Thanks in advance!
