d3M0n Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks for the info and the link Enz0. Just wondering... Where does the info come from for compatibility? Have you tried it? Or is the info 2nd hand? Expert's BIOS works on Venus, and Venus's BIOS works on Expert.Some problems may occur, of course, but it works. You can download Venus's BIOS from here. http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios..._FLAG=A&SITE=US Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3M0n Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 My friend tried it. Your friend obviously ran into some problems or you woudn't have said that "some problems may occur". Can you tell us what kind of problems your friend may have run into? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 My friend tried it. Right... Well I don't doubt your friend, I think it might be best to hold off until someone known a bit better on the forums (any forums for that matter) has given an answer. Keep in mind d3mon that there is absolutely NO reason to try it unless you're having some issues with your current bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind d3mon that there is absolutely NO reason to try it unless you're having some issues with your current bios. Believe me... I'm not about to flash and ruin my brand new mobo without first having definite confirmation one way or another. A second hand guys friend doesn't constitute anything even remotely close to definite. Especially if he doesn't go somewhere and write a review of how it worked, the problems he had, what kind of overclock he got, etc. There is a reason to try if you're trying to see if a new bios might increase your overclock...

red930 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 There is a reason to try if you're trying to see if a new bios might increase your overclock... You do have a point, if I were (and I will be in a week or so) rebuilding my computer yet again, I would probably give a new one a shot just because it may offer me sometihng I didn't have before. That said, generally a new bios will gain you only memory speed which I quite honeslty don't give a crap about. There are many that think otherwise though, so I suppose it is worthwhile for those that want the extra 4 mhz out of their ram. Guess all we can do is wait and see, A_G and RGone are supposed to have some boards around Wednesday or so, so hopefully we'll see some real reviews by next weekend.

d3M0n Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 so I suppose it is worthwhile for those that want the extra 4 mhz out of their ram. Yeah, an extra 4 MHz for me would come in handy so I can run 275 stable @ 1T. That way, I can run 1:1 with the 2750 my proccy is capable of instead of having to back it way off with 9/10 or drop to 2T. The memory is the only reason I don't have that extra 50MHz in the OCDB!! Its the little things that irk you the most... Anyway, I'm not in a HUGE rush to flash the venus bios as I'm going to try out OCZ Tony's bios first to see if that will give me the extra MHz I want. I just want to know about compatibility so I know that I have the option or not if Tony's bios doesn't work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enz0 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Your friend obviously ran into some problems or you woudn't have said that "some problems may occur". Can you tell us what kind of problems your friend may have run into? He didn't have any problems until now, but Expert and Venus are NOT exactly the same board, so there may be some problems. You can't expect many things of Venus's BIOS. It doesn't solve the CPU temperature problem of Expert. That problem is a hardware problem.

Enz0 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 There is not much difference, he said. But try by yourself, if you want to know how much is the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
