Your mobo has a feature called EZ Flash - Just Use a USB pen drive to update the bios
though you can use floppy.

Last month I updated the bios of my friends asus mobo with a USB pen drive & it works without any issue.

 

[furious_gamer]

Will update it by today night and inform u later on.

 

[topgear]

Ok. I will be waiting...................Wish you all the best ( assuming it's your 1st bios update experience )

 

[furious_gamer]

Geesh, i am unable to update the BIOS Successfully.After updating the BIOS and reboot the system the screen flicks continuosly..Then restore the BIOS using the old BIOS file i saved in USB drive.God will try the lower version 0702 today.(Yesterday i tried uodating the new 0802 version)

Can I OC my P4 2.93Ghz 515?
On an Asus Board and Intel 915Chipset?

 

[furious_gamer]

^^Give me ur Mobo model number and will tell u?

Hey, What about the bios update. Have you flashed with ver. 0702 ? Any success ?

 

[furious_gamer]

Yes, with 0702 i update it successfully. But after reboot to Windows, i see occasional screen flickers which is very annoying. I am in mood of revert back the BIOS update to some other version and let see what happen

Updated BIOS successfully with newer version(0802) using ASUS Update tool. No problems at all. But, when i previously did it with ASUS EZ Flash 2 , it gives me problems. Why it's so? Anyhow, i am now happy with my new BIOS update

Guys, have a question.
I got me Q8200 by tomorrow, as the vendor says it'll available only tomorrow. So if it put it with my Mobo, does it works? Or i have to OC the FSB to make it work. I am waiting for ur reply...

 

[topgear]

Now that's odd. But I had updated the bios of my friends M2A-MX mobo using software as his bios doesn't supports updating from pen drive.

You don't have to OC the FSB. The new updated bios should automatically detect & set the correct FSB.

^^ thanks topgear.. And i notice it yesterday night. When i ran the new Everest, i wonder to see that my proccy show 3.06GHz, instead of 3.7GHz. Does a BIOS update revert back the changes i've made? Am i right?

 

[topgear]

You are right.

BIOS update also clears the CMOS settings. So Bios loads it's default settings.
That's why your OCed proc is running @ it's default setting.

BTW, Did you get the new Q8200 ?

 

[trishulpani]

Congrats bro !!

 

[furious_gamer]

@topgear
Since i buy Q8200 for credit, that took me some damn time to get that..
@trisulpani
Thanks dude

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

^^How's Q8200?? Are you intend on OC'ing that proccy too?? Anyway, This is my first post in this thread, so Congratulations, budd.........

Thanks dude

Guys, since i get it for credit my vendor fooling me around by say, i'll give it on monday/sunday or so. Anyhow i'll get that from him asap..

Yes, i intend to OC that procy somewhere between 2.8 to 3GHz..

With Intel boards. u cant OC ur proccy..So be satisifed with ur current speed and if u intend to OC, no option other than getting a new Mobo..like ASUS P5K PL CM one which i just now bought for my bro @ 2.5k...

 

[topgear]

I've read that asus P5KPL-CM does supports OC but @ max 25-30% & it will not offer you any kind of mem speed & volt control while OCing.

I've bought one for my friend & was able to reach 2.6GHz witha e2200 without any prob. I havn't tried further.

 

[furious_gamer]

@topgear
If thats true then i say its OK... coz i bought it for my bro,who is not into this OC stuff..
He is pretty satisfied with his system..
He have
C2D @ 2.8GHz,2GB DDR2,P5K PL CM and a 8600GT...?
He is not like me..
BTW Unable to buy the Q8200 due to problem with vendor.... Postponed the purchase to some other day...
