Flashing BIOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Ishank · Jun 25, 2011, 04:56 PM

Guys...........I have discovered that the bios can be flashed and can be used in another board which is not made for it!!!!!!!!!Is it true? And can I flash my motherboard BIOS to a bios which supports overclocking because my board don't support overclocking?

possible.... but definitely not recommended....

this method is really for systems that have been bricked due to a failed method or something, the BIOS can be flashed to practically anything using the onboard utilities...

like say, you trashed an asus P5E board, you can flash the BIOS chip using a board that is fully booted up and load a fresh BIOS on it using a flash utility... then move the chip back to the trashed board and have it back and running...

as for overclocking on your Intel board, just forget about it.... unless someone produces a modded BIOS specifically for that board that allows manipulation of your FSB, its just not going to work...
