GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Will q flash let flash a BIOS larger than 1meg? I sure it never used to

[Acebmxer]

Q-flash will only bark about the file being larger then 1mb if the bios installed is 1 mb. Once you have flashed to a 2mb bios you can continue to use q-flash. If you deiced to drop back down to a old/smaller bios then you would need to use @bios again to downflash.

Ok, that's great, just to confirm something and make sure I'm right , what format to use on my usb stick

[Acebmxer]

Always with Fat32, I dont think ntfs will work.

Ok, I'm just finishing stability test, I dropped my voltage on cpu, but kept the higher voltage on RAM, ,I flash BIOS in a hour or. so then let you know how it is. Thanks for your time and thanks for the BIOS, get back to you in a while.

Download Bootable_USB_Drive_HP_223.rar from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way
This is the HP USB Boot Drive Software v 2.23 with DOS System files and Instructions included.
Create a folder for this and Extract (unRar) it.

I use that to Make Bootable USB Drives.
PS
I use FAT or FAT32 Format, either should work for you.

PSS
Good job on Starting this Thread Acebmxer !

@Acebmxer Can u make a mod for the latest X58A-UD9 bios with latest roms (intel raid 11.1/lan 2.46)?

[boe323]

Ok, I've flashed with q flash, verified ok, followed your instructions, pc tried to switch itself on after plugging power, even though I chose shutdown, anyway , I've done the do, set my oc and booted fine, still need to force Marvell update but apary from that I'm ok, seems to be a slightly quicker boot with 11.1 Rom, thanks so much.

@Lonelobo did you want the marvell firmware also or just the intel raid rom and the lan rom?

@Boe your quite welcome. Glad to hear everything went ok. Let me know how you make out when updating the firmware.
