Should I update BIOS for K8T Neo?

I recently rebuilt my system around my old K8T Neo Fis2r.  Just wondering if you guys think its worth my while to update to the last BIOS using Live Update.  I'm running the original BIOS right now.  I figure if it aint broke don't fix it, and I'm not trying to overclock or anything.  Does the most recent BIOS even offer any better overclocking then the original BIOS?  The K8T Neo is not much of an overclocking board anyway.

dont recommend flashing in windows.
better to do it with a floppy but not from a floppy.
check what the latest bios fixes compared to the one you use now and make your decision after that but if it all works there is no reason to update.

  • Should I flash the bios? K8T NEO FIS2R

    Ok... I have a K8T NEO FIS2R mobo.  A couple of friends of mine have been telling me to flash the bios to the most current version...  Then some other people have been telling me that it is too risky and I should hold off untill something goes wrong that I know a bios flash can fix...
    I'm just wondering what is the concencious here... should I flash it, or should I stay with the current version I have now(the one that came with the mobo)  I Like to have my computer as up to date as possible, but all the reports of bad flashes have me a little worried.  This is a procedure that I have never done before, and I dont want to mess it up.
    If I should flash, Any insight, tips, tricks, special instructions, etc... would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks guys for the quick responces...  I'm used to not getting a responce from forums for 12-24hrs and here it is less than 24hrs later and I have 10 responces.
    I'm not at my computer in question right now, but I am almost positive that my bios is ver1.0.  Same one that came with my mobo.
    At this point I am leaning towards flashing...  If basically the only way to mess it up is to have my power fail, then I dont think I will have a problem.  I'll just borrow an UPS from work here to be on the safe side.
    hypothetically if i follow the instructions to a tee(windows flash/live update) are there any other ways it can mess it up?  I just want to get a hold on all the places where I could mess it up.
    Will live update take me all the way through the procedure, or do I need a separate set of instructions to read off of during the flash?
    Also what gear will I need...  floppy disk? anything else?
    Sorry about all the questions, just want to make sure I do this right the first time!
    Thanks!

    Do a floppy drive flash with the correct switches.  Go back to the last bios that worked properly or try Pinochio's bios which a lot of people like.  Liveupdate will mess up your bios.  So can winflash if you do not use it correctly.

    After you have read about it, do this using the correct flash utilty file name and the correct  bios file name
    "DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    Good luck. 

  • Best bios settings for K8T Neo + Athlon 64 3200+ + ATI 9700 Pro ?

    Hi, i just got my k8T Neo (MS-6702) and can't figure out the best/most stable settings in the bios for my system yet. I am mainly using my computer for GAMES, so this is what i am talking about when i say "optimization"
    I got an ATI 9700 Pro, an Athlon 64 3200+ and 2x512 mb of Kingston Value Ram (bank 1 and 2).
    The main settings i really don't know how to set are:
    -Internal Cache
    -External Cache
    -System Bios Cacheable
    -C000, 32k Shadow
    -MPS Revision
    -AGP Fastwrite
    -AGP Aperture Size
    I wish i could get rid of any instability problems, i had a few crashes so far. Yet, i would like to set my system to get the most of my hardware in terms of speed.
    Thanks in advance for your help guys !

    internal cache-on
    external cache-on
    system bios-disabe
    c shadow stuff-disable
    agp fastwrite on unless you have problems, you'll know fast
    agp apperature size..depends on sys ram if over 512 best to atleast 128, if not 256
    (official recomadation is 1/2 your system ram)
    disable any onboard stuff you dont use like sound,sata controlers,  
    quick boot enable. smart enable
    logo disable, floppy drive seek disable,
     i wouldnt mess with mps table version.
    power management to s3 usb wake enable..power management agm-disable
    suspend time-disable-...set wakeup events hit enter, choose kbc & or mouse.
    that should get you started.

  • Which BIOS shall I use for " K8T Neo -FSR"??

    I bought  a MSI K8T Neo- FSR board yesterday. But when I looked at the MSI web site I haven't seen ...FSR board, I only see ...FS2R board instead. So which BIOS shall I download and flash? There is also no any explanation about FSR. My board carries the BIOS V1.1. On the other hand it writes this informatin on the board; " K8t Neo 6702 rev. 1.0"

    ...here's the product page...I found it the other day but I can't remember how   ...got lucky, I guess...  
    ...BIOS version?..I've always used Live Update in Windows...just follow the directions to the letter...there are beta versions available in the forums...the current one is getting good reviews...

  • PSU for K8T Neo-FIS2R

    What model of PSU has its cooling fans which can be controlled from PWFAN1 and PWFAN2 on the K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard?
    Kaz

    Sorry but there is no real specific one out there that I have ever seen. Most of the Bios options you see have been available since forever with Via Chipsetted boards. However DOT is specific to MSI which is Dynamic Overclocking technolodies. DOT can automatically overclock your voard depending one what your doing. I recommend staying away from it as it can cause as many issues as anything in your rig. And then there is Cool and Quiet which is an AMD 64 Bit CPU specific option to downclock the multipliers for the CPU during Idle Times to save energy and keep the CPU cool. Again it is not really needed.
    The rest of the stuff you can use google to find individually or by searching for Award Bios's or Via Chipset Bios settings.
    These are way to much for any one person to post a complete guide to here as all the info is readily available elsewhere.

  • Ram choice for K8T Neo FISR2 Motherboard

    Can anyone tell me if this particular model of ram is compatible with the k8t neo fisr2 motherboard?
    http://www.crucial.com/store/MPartspecs.Asp?mtbpoid=AC1B73A7A5CA7304&WSMD=MS%2D6702+%28K8T+Neo%2DFIS2R%29&WSPN=CT6464Z40B
    according to crucial it is compatible with the mobo, but i don't see it on the msi vendor approved list for the mobo.  I did purchase it, however for the new computer that i am building, comp powers up fine, but no signal is getting to my monitor.  Do you think if the ram is not compatible and is not working, then the new machine won't boot properly, hence no signal to monitor?
    i'm trying to rule out/in the memory ram as the culprit for my new comp's problems

    Well first you have not posted your specs so it's a bit hard to determine if the problem could be somewhere else. Please add yoiur specs to your signature.
    Second I am assuming that you don't have any other RAM you can try so here are a couple things to check;
    Put in a single stick of RAM and see if it comes up, if not then try another stick.
    Check and see what is happening on the D-Bracket LED's.
    Double check to see that both the 4 and 20 pin power connections are plugged into the Motherboard and see if your video card requires power through a molex connector. If so make sure it has a power Supply line plugged in.
    Reset the Bios with the onboard jumper. Caution, make sure you remove power before you do that step. You may also have to remove the RAM when you reset.

  • Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

    I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
    Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
    Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
    Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
    > I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
    by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?

  • Should I Update BIOS?

    I have just built my system, and the BIOS are 1.1. All is going pretty well, no issues (apart from CoreCenter reporting my CPU temp at 120 degrees! LOL!), but maybe I should update the BIOS?
    What would be the best BIOS for my Clawhammer CG CPU? And what's the best way to update considering that I don't have a FDD?

    I just updated my BIOS from the original 1.10 to 1.30 and faulty CPU temp reporting problem seems to have gone a way.
    Originally the CPU (3200+ Newcastle core) temp was being reported as 70 degrees Celsius.  Manual verification of the temp (put my finger on the heatsink) revealed this to be erroneous.  
    After flashing the BIOS, the temp is now reported as 44 degrees Celsius.
    So far so good.
    BTW, I flashed using the LiveUpdate utility in Windows.  This was the first time I tried this and it worked.  Be aware you will get a prompt to create a BIOS recovery disk on your A:/ drive.
    Good luck with your box.

  • Satelitte A110-180 - Update Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

    Hello,
    I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop Satelitte A110-180
    * AHCI for SATA
    * Disable IDE
    But there are no such options.
    So I thought maybe I have to update my bios.
    I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NOT Windows vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.
    Wich one I have to download, or is there an other option to change the settings?
    Thank you!
    Bart

    Hi
    Satellite A110 does not support such options (SATA AHCI).
    The BIOS update will not help you!
    Linux is not supported and therefore you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!
    The both BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
    Therefore if you are using OS other as Vista then you should take the OS independent BIOS update!
    But like mentioned above; both options will not appear after BIOS update!
