    Sooo my intro to the forum. Hi!
    I've got a few threads to dig through, including 56 pages of this one, and I've already seen some useful tidbits.
    Haven't overclocked since my Barton days... don't know how much I'll get out of either of my Phenom's but heck I'll give it a shot!!

    My sig will illustrate what I've got to work with: I got a Sapphire board that was (I didn't know at the time) a rebadged DFI board. I liked it so much I sought out a second (and this time found a DFI).
    Now I have two to play with. The Sapphire is running the 0422 BIOS, and the DFI the 0706 (and I see above there's an 'alpha' 0727!).
    I played around with both CPU's on both boards and some very basic overclocking, and interestingly the DFI board shows a little better performance than the Sapphire, which I put down to the BIOS.

    I know I'm not going to break any records with either CPU I've got, but I'd like to give it the best possible chance.

    And, down to my question at last:
    With the boards being identical, has anyone managed to flash the newer DFI BIOS to a Sapphire board?
    Or can help me do that?

    I asked Sapphire whether they could make the newer BIOS available to Sapphire owners, and this was their response:
    Thanks for the suggestion , Will pass to BIOS team.
    After which they 'closed' my ticket. I'm not going to hold my breath, I'm instead hoping the fine folks here can help.
