wdb1966 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Greetings all! I still have my 875P Infinity (yes the original brown PCB) that I got from A_G himself...great running board, but I can't seem to locate any BIOS for the Prescott CPUS. Any Idea when one will be available? (one that doesn't FUBAR the board like the first Prescott BIOS did, which was later pulled from the download page) I'd like to upgrade to a 3.0 Prescott, but not if this board doesn't support it.

Angry_Games Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 unfortunately, it doesnt look like the original 875P Infinity is going to support a Prescott cpu: Dear All, We had posted Beta BIOS dated 2004/03/02 with file name “875P4302.zip” at URL http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/875P4302.zip on Beta Site for 875P infinity. Under Policy, we don’t officially support it. This BIOS had been updated the micro code for Prescott CPU supporting 2.8G FSB533 and 3.0G FSB800. We also requested customer watching out the cooler and ventilation in chassis. We also suggest adding heatsink on MOSFET Components. I will however ask HH to confirm this. I do know that the latest revision of 875P Inf (red pcb) does support prescott cpu as its all over the box, and has sinks mounted over all the mosfets. Give me a day or so to get an answer T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdb1966 Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Cool, thanks. If I have to buy a new board, then I will need to look around before I buy a new CPU. Though I may just part it out and be done with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Travis, 875P Infinity was phased out in August when 875 Infinity launched. Please request user download BIOS dated 2004/06/23 from Beta Site. The file name “875IN623.zip” is exactly for 875P Infinity. I will update the file name to prevent from misunderstanding. The CPU support is the same as that of 03/15/2004, while we also solved the size detection bug on some certain 160G and 250G SATA. We will check whether R&D will place this version through ECR procedure. Before being approved by QA and DVT, we can only test it and post it on beta site. Best, HH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdb1966 Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 Even better...I'll try that one with my current CPU to be sure it doesn't run amuck with anything before I buy a new CPU. Thanks Travis! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nemesis Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 so will this mobo work with the prescott http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...manufacture=DFI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 this is the orginal 875P Infinity. the latest one that is definitely Prescott-ready is the 875 Infinity (no "P") i would ask the vendor/retailer to find out specifically which version of 875 it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
