hi! i upload my little collection files. including AOpen, ABIT, Shuttle, DFI, FIC, Acorp, and other former manufacturers. GOOGLE DRIVE

Here are 2 Fully unlocked bios's for the Z490 Dark KINGPIN 1.07 - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=66629967083638317470 1.09 - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=64415733472824080928 (1.09 Has 2-3 submenus that will immediately crash the bios, I believe those are RC ACPI Settings, Connectivity Configuration, and HD Audio Configuration, 1.07 does not have this problem) Thanks to Lost_n_bios from the win-raid forums for providing these bios files.

Dear HWBOT, OGS, Splave, Xtreme Addict, rsannino, Rbuass, mllrkllr88, bigblock, Luumi, Rauf, keeph8n, Dancop, ikki and many more are great overclockers. I do bow before them as I'm only air and liquid guy.... But bear in mind: we Enthusiast can't and will not obtain similar scores. We are operating after the gap and there is more: Fun fact is manufacturers makes BIOSes for their cards. Exotic also - I just got to know. Like ASUS made 600W BIOS for Strix. It is impossible to get this BIOS even if you would like to go for NDA if you're not a partner. So... the Elite or people who are already partners with ASUS (or others) will get 600W BIOS for example. They will beat every records. Others will be trying to compete with standard 450W BIOS. The Enthusiasts which are not manufacturers partners will be competing on much lower cooling capacities with 450W BIOS. Then comes the gap in scoring... Our points are just scraps of the scores from Elite/Extreme group. Despite we are trying to compete and testing our possibilities on every platform there is... we are not really getting anywhere close. But does it really depends only on time spent on overclocking or event on the sample of hardware that we have? I think not. Couldn't HWBOT establish much more divided scoring in different Leagues? Including the gap in scoring between Elite or sponsored result just seems more and more unfair. I am a patron of Benchmate - this should be obligatory for any benchmarks in Enthusiast, but enthusiast should have different scoring. Rookies nad Novice should be divided for Enthusiast Rookies/Novice and Extreme Rookies/Novice. If submission is for Enthusiast type of score rig picture and Benchmate is required. Right now operating after gap is just killing the fun more and more. You can have like 1st score in Enthusiast league and get 2.3pts... despite you were better than next 600 scores and even 20% better than average. Because there are 25 Extreme league scores better than yours and no 1 with LN2 is 30% better than yours . Think about it for the next year HWBOT Team ;)

Before Abit shut down, Turrican and I made a backup of their FTP. I thought I lost it but when checking some external hard drives the other day I found the backup. I did not upload the whole backup (it is quite big). I only uploaded the BIOS, Beta, FlashMenu, Manuals and Utilities directories to my website, accessible here If you however need driver(s) or product picture(s), feel free to request them. EDIT: Bambooz (TPU and Hexus) uploaded the full backup (including drivers and product pictures) made by Solaris17 (TPU) here. Product pictures can be found here.

Hey guys, i was haveing bios F5 and i have flashed the bios with version F20a and everything went fine ... the install was succesful with no problems but now the motherboard is starting like a normal one ...but no post..no beep ..no nothing .. i have tryed a dedicated video ..no post... i have taken out components one by one and after i emptyed the ram slot and starting the motherboard it beeps ... so the motherboard is ok ...but i have i7 6400t (es) and i was wondering maybe this is the problem with cpu it is not known by bios and wont let it post and if i take out the cpu out it takeing a little power and shuts off ...so i think the motherboard is not fryed ... it is just an idee ... and the motherboard audio led is on and fans spining and it is draining power every plug is corectly plugged but ..no post .. i have tryed clear cmon ... takeing out the cmos battery ... trying ..q-flash plus .... on some retailers says it has on some not and official website it is not on specs written about this ... and i have tryed alot of stuff and my last resort is warranty service or gigabyte support which i have open a ticket with another cpu model on ticket..because i have heard rummors on forum about i7 6400t (es) is fishy bussines and i dont to get in trouble :bruce:... i dont think will be valid anymore or trying to get an spi programmer and do it on my own ..or get it in service to fix it ... i was seeing on a video something with shorting the main bios chip and corrupt the main bios and backup kicks in ... i dont know how to do it and i think i will fry the chip and lose warranty forever :thumb::thumb::thumb: thanks guys :rolleyes:

Hey, i'm new to this overclocking scene and I would really like to push my hardware and my friends talk of this great XOC BIOSs for their mobos and I wanted to know if mine has any? I have already hit the max I can hit everything in my system on stock so now it's just a matter of finding a way to hit higher Thanks guys <3

My Asus TXP4-X have old Award bios. I use the Asus TX97-XE in it anyway, but both bioses cannot be opened using normal Modbin version that I use for all these Award bioses, claiming that "bios is not version 6.0": Now... witch version of Modbin is possible to use there? I need to look, if there can be unlocked TRP (precharge) settings to lower value that too slow 3... Because I don't know any MemSet equivalent that let me change the Intel 430TX ram settings Anyone can suggest application that can open this bios?
