Biostar T Power I45 BIOS thread

[Ket]

I have plenty of method to recover a BIOS including a programmer, but its hard to program a chip you don't have the info for because its not been printed on the IC, hence the hotflashing method.

[Praz]

Should be all the info you need. I've programmed the chip several times.

All done and TPower is back online

You guys with dead boards are in great company as there are many dead Asus P5Q boards also...

You can complain about Asus and Biostar but when was the last time you loaded a new bios from either of them and it killed your board??

If you are having issues with a board any board. It is up to you to figure out just what memory it will run and run it at what ever the board will allow..

I personally feel if you want to be the great bios builder you should get the bandwidth and start your own forum as I think this is inherantly wrong

considering your board ket still lives. this tells me that these others are in fact your guinea pigs. you just make a few modifications that you think look good

then you post them and see what happens when before you posted this one you should have killed your board and never brought it up

Look around you are trying to fix one of the most incredible over clocking boards around.. For what???

I run a large Mechanic / Welding shop. Where we all know if it isn't broke we don't fix it...

Very disappointed by these threads.. Now you will jump up and say some love your bios' but, Don't for get the DEAD.

WZ

Note to all interested..... When someone like dinos comes into a thread and has doubts.... Just Stop!!!

Let the builder of the bios put it on his board... Let the same builder prove it is on his board... Let the builder prove clocks and total stability....

Then and only then should you even consider such a move. Do not be the tester unless you can afford it and knowingly want to...

Dead boards are not a good thing

Dude seriously, did anybody ask you? didnt think so if you doubt KETS abilities dont do it, if you dont have the board, why are you here?

I'm sorry but a mod bios that is not tested SHOULD NOT be posted!

seriously all you've done is thread crap every post in this thread and cause crap nobady cares about. dont flash if you dont want the risk, even a "good" bios can cause corruption when flashing.

What standard bios items do you think are missing?

many MANY could be in these bios, again with the thread crapping.

Most boards can run a Q in the high 400s. I just said the BIOS may have FSB problems, I hardly said anything was conclusive

agreed, at high fsb even with dry ice, i have had this board give me the 96 error and had to hotflash so it very well may have some issues, still dont know why it does it, thank god for spare bios chips.

GUY'S what alot of you are failing to see here is that KET HIMSELF is providing for some a great favor that he does not need to do. HE is attempting to fix some peoples prolems and all you guys do is crap on him about it! That is rediculous. IF you do not want the service dont come to the thread if you have doubts DONT FLASH.

[mattkosem]

You need to set the NB GTL to .64 with a quad for FSBs over 400 or so.

FYI if anybody gets a "dead" TPower, put the TPower BIOS on a floppy (a USB stick might work too) and rename the BIOS AMIBOOT.ROM, the floppy\USB doesn't need to be bootable. Turn the PC on and the file will be read, after a bit the system will shut off, DO NOT REMOVE THE FLOPPY\USB, continue to wait and after a few more moments things should be revived.

Great Info!!

USB Key or CD-Rom does not work.

[philbrown23]

try a floppy, maybe try making the usb stick bootable, KET where did you find this out? is this the bios revive thingie?

floppy? this is 2008 hahaha.

Basically the boot clock notices the AMIBOOT.RoM file and should load it.

I'm going to grab a floppy from work tomorrow and try again.

yea i knew this was comin, from one of my own yet


thoroughly test your MODs before posting them to the forum, and use a CPU that everyone else is using too.

claiming "alpha" is irresponsible

[JWilson]

Right On, Brother!

[mattkosem]

USB Key or CD-Rom does not work.

USB key works fine for me.

Well folks, my TPower is gone. Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I waved goodbye.

[MiniMe1978]

i try other rams now white mushkins. they wont get over 1100 too is it possible, that any controler or something like that on the board dont wanna go ram over 1100mhz?

[Ket]

FFS as Phil has already said, I'm attempting to fix things, its more than Biostar are doing. I warn of any BIOS code I haven't tested but if somebody chooses to use it still and runs into problems thats their fault for not heeding the warning.

Bottom line: Stop ing and just wait for a final version BIOS I have tested if you don't want to try a beta. Next you will be saying its irresponsible of manufacturers letting users flash to beta BIOS versions, they will tell you the same thing I have if you choose to use a beta

[Marcam923]

I will be installing the Biostar today, as my 780i is finally gone!!! Being the second Intel board I will have messed around on in a while, I think I will wait for a tested bios rather than cause more problems than I may already cuase myself.

On behalf of the others posting here about a "beta" nios, please do not use it if you do not want. You will rag on KET now, and once his finished bios is done, you will use it and not say thank you!

So I advise, if you do not like what is going on in this thread, just ignore it, use the bios when its done, or do not. Either way those in this thread are here because we want to be, not because KET hypnotized us into thinking we could magically overclock our CPUs to 6GHZ on air with his bios. We all know enthusiast products get released before the best drivers/bioses are released and then they get worked on.

That is what is happening here, the bios is being worked on.

[philbrown23]

yeah biostar has done nothing, I've emailed them over and over and every response is well if you dont like it, sell it. so at least ket is trying. I dont see any of you trying any improvements. on a further update, I FINALLY got may ram to get into windows at 1150mhz prollumn is now they perform at a lower level than at 1066mhz! WTF!!!

[MiniMe1978]

yipieh board boot with 1:1 550fsb, i changed the mch gtl to 59 and now it runs? is it normal?

Thats exactly what Im doing. I really cant stand this board. I cant stand Biostar even more. I emailed their US costumer service. They gave me a one sentence responce basicly saying "email our Tiawan department". I did that a few days ago and still no responce. I overpayed for a budget board with no software support. There has not been a new bios releace in 3 months, not so much as a beta. There is NO help coming from Biostar. Ket is your only chance. He is doing what we PAYED Biostar to do. Thanks for listening to my rant.

I agree, Biostar should be stepping up here, I will use this board, if I do not like the results, I will move on.
