P67/Z68 BIOS collection

Just a warning for those using Gigabyte's B3 bios on B2 boards:

I successfully updated mine to F3. Every thing was fine until I had the great idea of trying to update the backup bios (expecting that if something went wrong it come back to a B3 bios instead of an B2). After the bios swaping process MY BOARD "DIED" :( It doesn't post, doesn't make any beep, with or without CPU it doesn't start anymore...

 

I bought some dice for trying good scores for initial K contest and I stopped before using any of it just because of this great idea of messing up the backup bios before benching...

 

I'm just sad now.... I'm really dumb :( for realz :(

 

You can solve that problem?

 

Which BIOS you installed first to the backup BIOS?, I think if install the F3di first, then swap BIOSes and then install F3 into main and Swap again should not be any problem...

Sure, I think that if I've done that it would be ok.

But I tried to swap from F6 (at the backup) to F3 (main) =(

 

But damn, I can't find no one with that BIOS chip for sale... =( My board is dead and the BIOS sellers that I know doesn't have this chip...

Ok, I know that you can SHORT pins 6 and 7 (with a mini screwdriver) on the primary BIOS (the pins across from the pin marked as 1 with the marking) to force the board to boot from the backup BIOS instead.

 

Try this first and see if it works.

If it doesn't, then try shorting pins 6 and 7 on the backup BIOS.

 

One of these should make the board boot.

 

I think the problem is that if you only crossflash ONCE, there are some bugs that C_N found out over on xtremesystems, and a few others found out too; namely, that PLL Overvoltage doesn't work, and the board doesn't seem to save voltages properly (or maybe initialize them) until it is powered off. You have to reflash a second time (a non modded BIOS? Not sure if you need a non modded BIOS or not, but it's safest NOT to flash the modded BIOS a second time) for this to work properly.

 

If you used a modded BIOS to do the crossflash, and then flashed THAT code to the backup with alt-f12, I could see how this could kill the board.

 

Also keep in mind that the B2 UD5 has a hardware flaw with LLC that is not bios correctable--it was corrected with the B3 board only.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it as soon as possible and try to get back to my old and good F7e bios...

I Crossflashed a non modded B3 bios, I think that that was the issue... But if you say that B3 Bios gives unstable voltages on B2 boards there's no use to me at all..

Thanks again!

i'm using the official F3, but I tried also F2b, my friend Mafio tried F3d: nothing changes between them.

The biggest problem, anyway, is that you can't POST at any bclk above 101MHz, so you need to enter the bios, set for example 52x101 (with 2133MHz ram multiplier of course), save and exit, set 101,5x52, save and exit, then 102x52 etc...etc... until you get in the 106/107 area, suitable to bench.

Remember, never shut down, only reset, because if you try to shut down you can't POST, you'll need to clear cmos and re-start with the loop I described above.

If someone has other solutions to this issue, it'll be welcome, but this is what I found with the last bioses, no matter what of them you use, the problem is still there :)

My UD5 always worked that way.. it's really a painful process
