Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Ket]

Well, Ket, you'll be happy to know that the BIOS isn't the problem on my board. I got a new BIOS chip from ASUS, pre-flashed with 1613, and it DIDN'T WORK!

Just happened to be that after the flash, it went DOA. It was only maybe 4 days old too. Dang it!

I guess the board is next then. Hopefully I can wing an advance RMA. I don't want to pull all of the parts and have them laying around .. esp with a 2yr old!

Crap. I was 100% positive it would work. I can't see anything wrong with the board, caps, etc etc. No black marks or scorching. I think the volt regs are gone myself..

Ouch. I didn't have things that bad but my first P5Q Pro started to get fickle after just a few months use, dodgy CPU fan header, so off on RMA it went.

wise you are Ket lol. Actually, I did use the asusinstall thing on one or two utilities. I still guess that using the normal setup would install that aacenter.exe virus... if not, great, cause the User setting on QFan did help.

I've never had that aacenter thing, EVER. Not by using the regular setup files. Never had the temp bug either.. I'll assume its because of aacenter never going near my system

Confirm that. I have one month since I've stopped that darn thing and no more CPU temperature bug.
Hope that it's not just a coincidence.

And with Koda's tool I can finally downgrade my BIOS from 1703 to 1406. Nice tool.

You couldn't use the AFUDOS I posted up? Its worked twice for me now, no need for that kdatool thing, which imo is very bloated. Don't need the BIOS files people can grab a BIOS file for their board easy.
