Hello Dis@ster

Go here Use modbin6 build 1.00.38 to unlock hidden options. I modded 3 bios for Abit IC7, IC7-G & IC7-Max3 All worked perfectly although I need to reinstall WinXP after flashing. There were too much options I disabled before flashing and I forgot which options to set in BIOS again after flashing.

I will host these BIOS if someone recommends a free hosting site, but you should try modding it yourself. It's a great experience Note : only unlock the hidden options, touch nothing else, a bios saviour might come in handy sometimes

I managed to delete the CPU multiplier off the menu (it didn't change my multi though but the default multi was 8 - this can't be changed), also enabled Spread Spectrum (hidden) which was disabled by default anyway. I also enabled a few other hidden features :

1. CPU Thermal Monitoring 1, including FSB (for Prescott E-0 I think) but I'm using Northwood
2. CPU L1 & L2 Cache [Enable] [Disable]
3. IDE HDD Block Mode
4. Force Update ESCD

There are many more hidden stuff but I don't need them e.g. Keyboard Typematic Speed, ACPI & power saving options etc etc

To use these utilities it's best to boot to DOS or use emulator, don't use command.com or cmd in Windows XP etc.

Modbin6 1.00.38 - to enable hidden features/change values on the BIOS menu, you will see a Bill of Materials (B.O.M) style menu

Cbrom/Cbrom6 - used to extract modules from same type BIOS and append into target BIOS.

Biosview - allows viewing of BIOS .bin file (read-only), useful after modding, used to verify mods before flashing

ASUS BIOS are more tricky, couldn't do it. I'd be really grateful if someone can show me the way The real scoop will be extracting modules from other bioses and append to your board's bios. Would appreciate the fine skills of a bios modder here

I have tried modbin but it crashed, maybe you can tell me which version of modbin works with current ASUS boards. I have tried popular ASUS boards (PC-DL Xeons, P4C800-E P4-478, P5GD2 P4-775) but no-go. Thanks.

How can i use my bios with modbin since its not a *.bin file?They are all named w7030nms.xxx (numberic version 140-150 etc).Should i just rename this file in to what i see during post (bottom of screen) with a .bin extension or is there another way and which one is it?
My board is MSI K8N Neo Platinum.

[tictac]

just rename the ext into .bin

that will do the job
