Modded TA790GX A3+ Bios X2/X3 @ X4 :D

[Johncross]

how stable is this mod? Can I unlock pii X3 720 with this? I tried ACC auto mode but: Fail :-(

Update: I tried your Bios Update: It doesn´t work :-( :-( ......Now my mobo is a simple Stone :S

How can I reinstall old Bios firmware? or I must go to RMA?

[superpyton]

Rename old BIOS file to "AMIBOOT.ROM" and put it on a pendrive. Insert pendrive into USB port and turn on computer.
Now you need to wait 40-50 seconds before BIOS recover starts.
If nothing will happen, you need to send your board to RMA.

Try the INBIOS flash tool and press tab to switch drives to load BIos .. Its worked fine for me in the past before i sold Mobo.

What flasher should i use to flash moded BIOS?
I downloaded AFUDOS4.23 from RebelsHaven BIOS page site... Should i use this one? or something else???

When i downloaded moded BIOS with name TA790GX_A3+_(R1) in BIOS folder exist 78DAA629.xxx with strange extension C..?
Should i change extension into ...ROM when flasihg with AFUDOS...???

So confused...

HELP!!!

[Tomasis]

zorz, I noticed that bios come from Rebelshaven and then I saw Afudos4.23.

then I thought about latest bios which I updated with Biostar's flash. So I wonder if it is same or I should use Afudos because newest modified bios file seem contain another file name than usual one from biostar.

[ah_khoo]

.cet bios file is safe to be flashed using t-series bios update a.k.a windows flasher.

enjoy and report my friend

Hi PcCI2iminal! Finally the wait-for-moderator-period has passed~
I have TA790GXE_128M and tried the corresponding R1 BIOS. It cannot be used to unlock the hidden cores of my 550BE. So I have to fall back to the 0617 hacked BIOS I found in China bboard. That BIOS does really able to unlock hidden core but it has few limitations also:

1) HT Link must be 1.6G
2) Seems some of the multiplier cannot be used
3) Cannot disable on-board display card to take system RAM. I can only set it to the minimal 32M.
4) Seems its PAE has issue. I have 32bit WinXP so I allocated those un-recognized RAM to be a RAMDisk. But when there is a lot of RAMDisk R/W, the on-board display may have error.
(e.g., I use winrar to compress a file on ramdisk, which should be CPU intensive task only. but GPU/VPU error as follow
http://bbs.ocer.net/viewthread.php?tid=301206 )

New bios for this board was just out. What a shame it still doesn't support unlock core

Can you help on this? Thanks man!
