dr_bowtie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 OK.... This has been a rather difficult process...I cant find any info in the BIOS as to which version the board has installed. Nor can I figure out how to disable the ECS Splash screen as there is no option to.... What I did was load up 3D-Mark 06 and use the Details button to find the info.... it tells me the BIOS is 080016 from 8/17/2009 P55HA-version 1.0 thats the best I can do these is not even a menu to falsh the BIOS and no F key prompt on the screen... (usually Alt+F2) and there is no menu where there would be the option to back up the BIOS...so I am sure if there was somehow there is no USB support to back it up to a USB stick....??? I maybe wrong. you got any ideas???? This board might be real nice but the info is rather vanilla..... EDIT: After booting and rebooting a bunch I saw the POST screen for a glimpse and nothing holds it....likes like BIOS H-A 8/17/2009 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Are you able to download eJIFFY from their website? If I remember correct that has a flashing utility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I have not no.... my issue is I dont have the manual nor time to look at it today. If this needs to be done via the floppy I cannot do it as i dont have access to one....it needs to be done via USB.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef2 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 BIOS extracted and sent via PM....hope it works for him... Like I said in the PM, thanks for the bios file (yes! and it is the right one), however my system can't overclock still and I'm sure it's because ECS gave a different board to you guys and different to me. I've actually tried the exact same specs as in the review and it *still* wouldn't go to anything more than 169MHz.... It's a bit of a shame really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Would it at least boot at those settings? At least then you'd have something to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef2 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Would it at least boot at those settings? At least then you'd have something to work with. No, not at all. I used the exact same settings (according to your CPU-Z screenshot), I managed to get hold of the RAM you used (1600MHz 8-8-8), by the time I up the FSB (BCLK?) to more than 169Mhz the system is unstable, and if I go to anything more than 178MHz it refuses to boot. The RAM can NEVER boot to anything more than 1200Mhz (and I've tried many types of RAM). Also what's the deal with "DOC overclocking" it seems to influence nothing, nothing at all, no matter the value I'd use on it it simply won't do anything (so I leave it disabled)... It seems that your board was *very* different than my own (and the one that some other reviewers-users did use), it's as if we talk for two different products...

Griffon Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, this is my first post and my first trip to the overclock world rsrs. And sorry for "defibrillate" this very old topic. I have the P55H-A motherboard and a I5 750 and I was wondering how to do my first overclock to something like 3.6ghz. As I said, I've never done it a overclok before, this is my first attempt to do something with my I5 750 to improve some performance in my simulation games like ARMA II, IL-2 and others. This is a "Validator" from CPU-Z. With you guys need some other information about my config, please ask me. Also I have a good 700W PSU from OCZ. Also, I've updated my BIOS to the last version (080016). Validator CPU-Z I've read you great review tacohunter52 for this MB and I was wondering with you could help me to reach to a secure overclock option. Also I bought a Cooler Master TX3 cooler to get better temps for this overclock. Thanks in advice for everyone that can help me.
