Shinobi Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 You need to flash it to the 6/19 or later Bios, then it will get recognised as a Mobile(if its Infinity or LanParty B that is...). What Bios is on it now? So yes, thats normal its just the micro-codes for the mobiles were only added in the 6/19/2004 Bios and later... If you plan on overclocking on that board i advise you start off with that Bios since you have a mobile... But still, it will always get detected as 800mhz so you have to set up the multiplier manually in the Bios to run it at rated speed Btw, as OldGuy says, which board is it? I'm assuming its an Infinity or LanParty B but guess i could be wrong lol... If your planning on using that board its probably a good idea to add the full system specs in your sig alongside your NF3.

red930 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I;m using Hellfires 3EG-REV2 and my cpu gets IDed as a mobile w/512kb of L2 in cpu-z Do you have the rest of your #s off your chip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Same here... Me wonderin whether hes really got a Mobile Barton there? Hmmm, a Sempron maybe? Thats why its not identified in that Bios because Sempron support was only added in the 7/28 Bios... Just a wild guess...

Shinobi Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Something at the back of my head is also telling me that Socket A Semprons do get recognised as only having 128kb L2 Cache on some boards without the proper Bios Support, but don't quote me on that... I think Steelballzz could definitely do with posting those steppings of that chip so we can confirm what it actually is.

Shinobi Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 You want the 6/19 Bios. Don't update to that one, its not for mobiles. Just "Load Optimised Defaults" in the Bios ande save. Also clear the Cmos jumper, then Flash. Yes you can use Winflash on these boards if you wish but its even easier to download the Diamond Flash Image, double click on the .EXE you downloaded with a floppy in the drive and it will create a bootable image. Boot off that floppy and it will flash your bios using all the correct switches automatically... Press F1(i think its F1...) when its finished and it prompts you too then on reboot just enter the Bios and Load Optimised Defaults etc again... Anyway, i guess you already know the drill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Do you have any backup plan in case the flash fails? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
