NF4 LanParty (original) BETA BIOS 3/30/2006 (direct download)

[THunDA]

Only the DFI gods know that.. :nod:

 

But dont worry because its not like it will be a huge difference then the 623 bios your using.. I mean im using this 329 bios and its all good.. but I cant tell any difference between it and the 623 or 1114..

Go ahead, classy lady me out, yell at me, whatever, sorry if it's been asked before, but how do I burn this to a CD? I have no floppy in my system, and the floppy connector is already plugged into the mobo. I could slap an old floppy in there, but that would mean taking the power from the mobo, not a biggie, but annoying all the same.

 

Can I flash from a CD, or do I have to temporarily slap a floppy in my system?

 

I have a bonus boot CD I flash my vidcard BIOS with, be nice to just add this BIOS and the flash.exe to it.

 

I can't find the answer with the search engine, so please help me out here.

I used WinFlash to flash this BIOS.

That's all good, but how do I burn a self.exe to a CD when it wants to extract itself to a floppy?

 

Is there another download, which is "burnable/bootable" from a CD?

 

Or am I missing something when it comes to "winflash", like a floppy isn't needed?

You flash the BIOS inside Windows with "Winflash".

Man, I'm so freakin old-school here, I just weaned myself from a floppy and started using Ultra-ISO, so help me out here, how do I extract the BIOS file from the setup.exe without a floppy?

 

I must be missing something here...... :confused:

Okay, got the file from the DFI site, all fixed, winflash did the trick, thanks shicx1. :cool:

I didn't have quite the same problem (See page 4), but I would randomly loose connectivity, though Windows never alerted me as such. I went into BIOS and entered the MAC address as listed on the sticker of the network port and everything has worked find since.

 

Nice and it works

When using winflash what should i check in the update box and the cmos box.Ive always just checked them all but with this board i dont wanna do anything that could cause me to screw up a flash.Since i haven't flashed it yet out of fear..lol.Also is this a good bios for the Sandiego and TCCD? If not whats the best Bios for this combo?Right now im running 623-1

and 300x9x3 @2.5-4-3-7-T1 is 100% stable but with any onther Multi i can barely hit 2.7ghz like 10x270 or 11x245 these just aint as stable as 9x300x3.

I just flashed to this "new" bios NF4LD329

 

Is it just me or are other people getting lower Vcore readouts in CPU-Z or MBM5 with this bios?

 

I am using 1375 x 113% in both bios and getting a 0,05 V les on this new bios.

 

I haven't testet much yet, but i hope that it could be usefull for my Corsair TwinX2048 PC4400Pro memory.

 

Any timing information on TwinX2048 PC4400Pro memory and NF4LD329 bios, please let me know.

 

Thanks

There is a brandnew official BIOS for NF4 LanParty boards on DFI homepage named NF4LD406.EXE. The file is dated April 6th.

Look here: http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios..._FLAG=A&SITE=US

 

At the moment the file is not downloadable, but DFI is obviously working on it.
