because changing the romid did not work to flash back to maximus, would not program the boot block

You need to use the 907 Bios to get back to Maximus from Rampage.
I also got the "bootblock corrupted" message when trying to use Bios v1004, but it went smooth when I tried the 907 version.

Not true, using AFUDOS ES you can flash any bios to the board.

**dude_500** · 03-17-2008, 06:27 PM

Is GTL dangerous at all or is it merely a 'setting' that doesn't affect temps or possibly damage any components? I have it on auto and can't get to 3.7 from my 3.6 OC even if I up all my voltages by 3 clicks. Should I just max my GTL or what?

**jeeka** · 03-17-2008, 06:28 PM

Did you guys ever find a version that allows you to flash back? I PM'd Zen just now, but this MIGHT be one that could work, I have a P5K deluxe so I am not even keen to what you guys are trying to accomplish....

This might, or might not, be a genuine find, but just wanted to help the brothers out....

Please investigate if this is the real deal, and apologies if you have already solved the issue! (too lazy to read through all the pages in the thread)....

The AFUDOS ES versions will let you flash back and forth as much as you want.

EDIT: And that one you linked is fake.

i used the 907 as the base for a bios mod BEFORE i found the es version of afudos in an attempt to get back with the tools we had available at the time. anyways to put it short it didnt work and so now we all use afudos. if we could, please kill this subject as it is confusing everyone here but me.

Oops sorry dudes...
Glad to see that it's working for all ya'll! So in one sentence, what was that you guys were trying to do?

I take it that whatever you tried it backfired?

Will this allow me to flash back with a P5k Deluxe too?

Well ... if I try to flash from Rampage to Maximus using bios 1004 I get a "bootblock corrupted" message and AFU236U exits. If I flash using bios 907 everything is fine.

I haven't tried this with the older 226ES version of AFUDOS.

This might simply be the case of a beta bios not containing a complete bootblock.

its probably what you said, the beta not having a complete bootblock.

Using the stock unmodified Rampage bios? And using the ES version of AFUDOS 2.36?

**Maglin** · 03-17-2008, 06:49 PM

Sweet. I love the Rampage BIOS options for memory. I'm now running @ 440x9 on Air. I still have some instability but I'm working it out slowly. Once I can nail this setting down I'm going to try for 4ghz+ being 444 FSB+. I've been thinking of running a small WC loop just for the NB to see if I can't get it's temps more under control. I'm worried that I might end up going crazy and build a whole WC rig and use DC200 for the coolant. I've had a few gallons sitting around for just the job.

Thanks for all the work guys.

Out of that selection, the 1066 dominators would be the best I'd say
