Nope Time to read and give it a try. Thank you both.

Iwill VX133u Same socket and cpu support (tualatin) Different chipset though. VIA 694X/694T

Starting this thread to share grief and pain about legendary socket A boards that gone ashtray. My biggest loss so far. A DFI Ultra-B gone dead after using an XPM-2000+ low voltage cpu. Booted once , got into bios , load optimized defaults,save & exit =>end of story. Runner-up loss ABIT NF7-S v2.0 gone dead after testing max mem. overclock on a pair o D43's

I cant accept , that there is not a proper bios tool available , to import microcode to an early phoenix-award bioses. There has to be a solution. I tried 2 versions of the award bios flash tool ... but no go.

Working on it. I'm getting close for a 9 out of ten grade.

I am out of luck The same bios checksum error.

Good score George , but there's room for improvement , i'll pm you about it.

The score is not good , cause it has a very low nature. But ... the board is a beauty !!! Abit Casper Edition ?

Is this case settled ?

Hotmailed the first one.

Hmmm ....

If you mean the character problem (not showing correct) it's probably a forum problem. It's already been reported.

Oups !!!

This is a perfectly legit result. The cpu is a slot-1 coppemine core. Perhaps you misundestood something.

Congrats for a great result. An other legendary ABIT board !!!

Still waiting for this one.

Testing 1-2 , 1-2 :woot:

Bump To take care of this one too.

Yeah , bad luck. Bios checksum error. I reflashed back the original.

Many many many thanks :celebration: The 65 microcode is for ?

Hi everybody. I need to fully revive an old Tualatin board. It's an Iwill BD133u (Intel 815). Picked up from scrap , in a bad condition. Repaired some scratches on pcb and insulated with nail-polish. Changed all leaking capacitors and the board is fully working again. Now i need to optimize it's bios. The board has problems operating with tB1 stepping cpu's. (CPUID : 06B4h). It probably doesnt have the cpu microcode for it. The bios chip is a Phoenix D686 , with bios version BDU1026 in it. I need help to implement the cpu microcode into that bios. Looking for the bios tools or a person that can do it. Attached here is the bios of this board.

Aha That's why this board has vanished from ebay ?

I guess , this is not valid either (for the same reasons as above). Plus the "Time measuring" alert msg. http://hwbot.org/submission/2884568

It's not only for that reason. The screenshot is not as it should be.

I would like to ask the result moderators , if the following result is considered valid. http://hwbot.org/submission/2883832 From what i now , it's been reported. My main concern is about the screenshot used , which according to the benchmark rules , is not correct. http://hwbot.org/news/9037_application_50_rules/
