BenchBrothers.de Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Currently I am looking for bios-files for older mainboards. But often it's a tough job to find versions for them, especially for vendors like DFI, EPoX and so on. Does anybody have a suggestion where I can find files for these models (or maybe someone have files on his storage): - Chaintech CT-7NJS Zenith - DFI Infinity nF4 Ultra-U - DFI LANPARTY 875P Pro B - DFI LANPARTY 875P-T - DFI LANPARTY DK 790FXB-M2RS - DFI LANPARTY DK 790FXB-M3H5 - DFI LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS Plus - DFI LANPARTY DK P45-T3RS Plus - DFI LANPARTY JR GF9400-T2RS - DFI LANPARTY UT 790FX-M2R - DFI LANPARTY UT 915P-T - DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 Ultra-D - DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R - DFI LANPARTY UT NF680i LT SLI-T2R - EPoX 8RDA6+ Pro - EPoX 9NDA3J - FOXCONN BlackOPS (beta-bios) - Leadtek K7NCR18D Pro II Deluxe Limited - Shuttle AN50R For DFI-boards in general I can use this site but it doesn't contain all models by far. For EPoX I couldn't find a good source at all. I think this is a situation where more people are faced with. So maybe we can collect bios files like in the thread for coldslow/coldbug for gfx. And maybe hwbot can host them? What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have contacted DFI see if they still have those files stored somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmbot Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I have contacted DFI see if they still have those files stored somewhere. What was the old DFI enthusiast site that had all the modified BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 What was the old DFI enthusiast site that had all the modified BIOS? DFI Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBrothers.de Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 knopflerbruce gave me a hint. He sent me this link. Unfortunately none of the sources behind the link worked but due to his hint I knew what to look for. After a bit of searching the web I found a working link for Tmod DFI BIOS-CD (seems to be one of the latest versions, 11.2.1): Click! I tried it with my UT nF590 SLI-M2R - works perfect. Now I have about 10 bios-versions for this board and lots of other DFI-boards are supported. But only AMD-based ones. So still looking for bios for Intel-based DFI-boards. But it's a good start... Thanks for the hint, knopflerbruce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I extracted the ISO from your link and I see BIOSes for intel boards as well in there. Edited August 26, 2016 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 That CD was great to have aback in the day. Wasn't there a site that had all the DFI BIOSes (not dfi-street/diy-street) after DFI took them down? Perhaps we could host these here?

Christian Ney Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 We need to have them to host them. DFI replied that they looked up but didn't keep any backup of the old site/BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It should be possible to do some research, no? I can save any bios I have on my boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You have to do your due diligence. The files are out there, you just have to find them. I have a pretty good elite collection of bios's for most obsolete boards in most all platforms. It took me better than a decade to collect these. I use them as draw to my own site. You can always message me if you're looking for a particular bios. Chances are I have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset1 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 i had contacted DFI and the person i talked to said they dont have them but that they get requests all the time. Sad if this is true but I will go thru my old drives ( im unorganized.. ) as i found a old mobo site that had pentium bios's and other such bio's .. Now that i have a place to put them ill pass on to op when i find the site again. ( redid my workshop/garage ) Sunset1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenchBrothers.de Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I extracted the ISO from your link and I see BIOSes for intel boards as well in there. You're absolutely right. I saw only the information my eyes wanted to see.... Here is a "list" of all supported boards, taken from the booted ISO. Five boards I own are missing: - DFI LanParty DK 790FXB-M3H5 - DFI LanParty Pro875B - DFI LanParty 875P-T - DFI LanParty UT 915p-T12 - DFI LanParty GF9400-T2RS Beside these five I know that - DFI LanParty KT400A - DFI LanParty 925X-T2 existed. These aren't "supported", too. But this ISO is a very, very good start. Thanks again for the hint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have an M3H5 somewhere... if it's working I can extract whatever BIOS is on it - at some point I might have a Pro875B, too, but i can't recall if I killed it some time ago or not. The last 5 are not in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure , you can still find most of them on-line ... have you searched for any of these ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I know you can get the BIOS for a DFI LanParty KT400A here: https://driverscollection.com/?file_id=29310 Browse the site for other things you might need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbjaust Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I got a bunch of DFI BIOS files by digging around in web.archive.org... here's the download page for one of the boards you were after: LANPARTY UT 915P-T12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Here is a backup of http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/ Unfortunately the filenames aren't very explicit and DFI didn't sort them :-/ But maybe you find something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted February 22, 2017 Crew Share Posted February 22, 2017 But you can always use something like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20071020135714/http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios_download_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=5155&CATEGORY_TYPE=MB&STATUS_FLAG=A&SITE=US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauRoman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You will not find them there any more. Moved them to a private server long ago, accessible only on my say so. Really sorry to dig up this thread, but i want to find out what the newest BIOS for a board i have. I don't actually need the newest version, just to know if any newer version supports an 8.5 multiplier because my CPU is limited by the multiplier (there is no way to change it to a .5) The board is a Lanparty DK P35-T2 (it is identical to the DK p35-T2RS except that it uses an ICH9 PCH instead of the ICH9R, is missing 2 sata ports and may be missing a few odds and ends here and there). FIY, there is no actual picture i could find for the DK P35-T2. All discontinued listingings for it have the DK P35-T2RS picture . I'm pretty sure it's the board highlighted in my attachement. I have held on to this board because it is one of two boards from the 775/AM2 era that i have owned that are fully supported by Linux.
