Can you confirm 1:1 = 2.0?

I basically plan to set CPU ratio at 8x, memory at 1:1 (voltage at 2.1 obviously), FSB at 400 and voltage somewhere close to 1.375-1.40 and begin Orthosing all four cores. I know how to overclock, I've just used ASUS boards since my KT400 Giga board blew its caps.


Also, how is best method to flash BIOS from USB stick. I must apply latest BIOS flash due to 1TB hard drive (some issue??). I know how to use Q-Flash from reading manual I downloaded but do I just put the BIOS .bin file in root directory of USB drive or do I need to use HP formatting tool?
Yup just set it to 2.0 and it'll be 1:1.

I couldn't ever get the HP boot tool working for me - but you don't need it if you're flashing the BIOS Make sure USB Legacy mode is enabled, then enter Q-Flash once you're in the BIOS setup (F9 I think it was). Then your USB stick should show up as a HDD in there. All you need on the stick is the bin file you want to flash with.

Probably the most painless BIOS update process i've come across actually. Quite happy with it
