AstroCreep Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I've been messing around with my system (see sig) and I'm able to run it stably at 250fsb x 10 multiplier, but that's at a 333cpu:400ram divider, so my next step is that I'd like to try to run it 1:1. Here's the thing, I can't get my BH-5 to run past the divider at 3.1v, so I was thinking about trying a beta BIOS with a higher vDIMM. Question is if this BIOS doesn't work too well, how hard is it to flash abck to the default one? I've never 'back-flashed' and I just want to make sure that the system would let me. And while I'm on the topic of the RAM & BIOS, would it be possible to run it at 1:1 or is it a pipe-dream? And as far as a BIOS what would be 'best'? The newest one from last month? TIA guys!

cpuz Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I'm not sure if winflash will let you do it, but the dos method should. I like oskar 10/15 bios for that board, it is what I'm using on my other rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 please take a look at this page: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/mb_faq_us1.j...TYPE=US&SITE=US this is the "Diamond Flash Image" it is a new utility we have that automatically creates a floppy disk with the correct files to boot and flash your bios (including the correct DOS command switches). We recommend that you use this when flashing as it minimizes problems that can arise from updating BIOS for inexperienced users. We also STRONGLY recommend that you do not attempt to update your motherboard's BIOS unless an updated BIOS description states a specific fix for your particular problem(s) Flashing BIOS - Clearing CMOS: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...d=6478#post6478 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I like the Diamond Flash Utility; makes easy work of BIOS flashing. Now since all of the BIOSes are Beta (including the 9/14 reverting back to Beta-status), what would happen if I do need to go back to the default one? I've never tried to 'down-grade' my BIOS before and I just want to make sure before I try one of the Betas ('just in case'). Can I revert the BIOS? With the tried & true DOS method? I didn't see anything about this in the links above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolyman Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Diamond Flash does not work well with a Bios Savior to flash the second chip!! It just reflashes the chip you booted with ... I tried to find a place in the program sequence that I could switch the Savior .. it's possible but VERY confusing for a novice!! Angry .. If you have input with the writers of "Diamond Flash" see if they could write a.. "switch to bios savior if used ".. message in the prog. ..or at least enlighten us in the directions on the "download" site as to "when to switch". DOS is easier!! AS ALLWAYS ...
