Smile GA-X48T-DQ6.....is it safe to flash F5 yet?

Sorry to hear about the drama's with the F5 bios, I hope everyone involved is up and running again. I am curious to know if the F5 release has been amended and safe, also could someone please direct me to some information on how to flash the bios properly as this is my first attempt. Thanks in advance.

As long as you get the latest one I believe dated 7/21/2008. I flashed this without issue.

Darkstar_WPB, what did you use to flash your bios? Qflash, @bios, or the DOS flash utility?

Also I know there are pdf's on gigabytes website regarding how to use qflash, but lsdmeasap do you have tips or maybe direct me to a better qflash method? I have been reading the other threads but am a bit nervous since this is my first attempt. Thanks a million.

Thanks Janus. Should I just follow the motherboard manual in using qflash or is there more information somewhere else? (yes I downloaded pdf)

Yes the Manual will tell you just fine how Qflash works, it is very easy to use.

You will be fine, just be sure you are not overclocked into a clock you have not tested to be stable and BE SURE you have the correct BIOS for your board/revision.

If you are Overclocked and you are not sure, just make a new BIOS profile and setup some default settings for your cpu and ram and save it as "Default" then go back and rename your other profile Overclocking. Then use the Default one to flash with. F11 and F12 are the BIOS profile keys. F11 is save and F12 is load, just make a few changes and then name that profile and save it.... and so on. You will see how easy this is once you get in there, very nice feature!!!
