What BIOS version do I need for this processor?

I am going to be starting round two soon trying to install my new MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard. I had to RMA the last one because I could not get it to work with anything I did. So my question is this, what BIOS version do I need for my processor to be recognized? I will be using the 790FX-GD70 motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor.
And what version comes on the motherboards? I want to make sure I don't encounter problems again when trying to install it. If it requires a BIOS upgrade right out of the box, then I will take it to the local computer store and have them flash it with one of their lower end processors. Thanks in advance!

Is the CPU the 125W (1.5) or the 140W (1.3) version? The 125W is the newest and takes a later 1.5 BIOS. Look at the BIOS chip on the MB and write down the number on the sticker that's stuck on it. The last 3 digits = BIOS version, ie. 100 would be 1.0, 110 1.1
 It's the chip just above bottom PCIe slot just to the right of N1996 number on the MB. (near the bottom center of MB) The thing is small so you need good young eyes or a magnifying glass to read it.

    I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
    I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
    Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The answer is not if you use iTunes.
    The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
    You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
    A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
    As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
    I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
    Look up how to use itunes in a network.

    You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

  • So what BIOS version is the best for K8N SLI Diamond?

    And is there a BIOS which allows me to set the v-dimm to something higher than 2.85v? I mean 3.0v would be nice at least. Heck, my old Neo2 865PE did 3.3v right out of the box!

    It's not that a BIOS would solve the problem as much as it is a design issue with the motherboard.   Works great for the specifications they designed it for, but the design doesn't allow for much higher vdimm amounts.
    The only solution with this board is a do it yourself modification to the motherboard that "will" void your warranty.    By using a potentiometer on the correct traces, you can dial your own vdimm.   Since this does require decent soldering skills, and more importantly will void your warranty, I'll let you google the solution.
    As to the number of PCI-E slots, they don't have more due to the limitations of the nForce4 SLI chipset.   The nForce4 SLI chipset only supports a total of 20 PCI-E lanes.
    x16 are used for PCI-E slot 1 (or x8 in SLI mode).
    x2 are used for PCI-e slot 2 (or x8 in SLI mode, but the other x2 lanes are not available when in this mode and are unused, possibly used in the swtching mechanism as this is the case for the competition as well).
    x1 is used for the online Marvel Gigabit LAN, many competitors use a PCI chipset instead allowing an x1 slot instead of this feature.
    x1 is used for the online SiI3132 PCI-E SATA II controller. Many competitors use the PCI 3114 SiI chipset allowing a free x1 lane for a slot.
    Count these up and we add up to 20 lanes of PCI-E, so not additional slots are available.   As for the competition, using lower performing PCI parts allowed the addition of two x1 slots in addition to the two SLI slots.   Since most add-ons are going to be LAN or SATA, looks like you'll be all set anyways.
    This will change with the use of nVIDIA's newer SLI x16 chipset as more lanes are available, allowing for two x16 PCI-E slots and several x1 slots in addition.

  • Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio

    What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and
    shockwave. I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need
    some help getting pointed in the right direction. here are some
    examples:

    > What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There
    > are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and

    Of the examples you showed, I saw Flash (Adobe Flash),
    Shockwave (Adobe
    Director), and JavaScript, but never a combination on the
    same site. (It
    might make sense to combine Flash with JavaScript or
    Shockwave with
    JavaScript, but not really to combine Flash with Shockwave.)
    > I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need

    > getting pointed in the right direction.
    Any of the above technologies will do it. You could also use
    a Java
    applet or even a .NET solution of some kind, so the choice
    you take will
    depend largely on what platform you want to support and code
    for. This sort
    of project will require significant amounts of custom
    programming. My
    personal approach would be to use Flash, mainly because of
    the popularity of
    the plugin. The Shockwave example looks beautiful, and I
    started out years
    ago using Director, but fewer people nowadays have the
    Shockwave plugin
    installed. It doesn't look like any of the sites shown use 3D
    modeling,
    which is the only relevant feature that Shockwave has over
    the other
    approaches. JavaScript (probably some Ajax approach) would
    work -- as
    seen -- but then you're dealing with compatibility issues
    among various
    JavaScript implementations in the great variety of browsers
    out there.
    Flash minimizes that, in my opinion.
    All you really "need" to produce what you've seen is Flash
    and some sort
    of database back end (MySQL, say), which means you'll need a
    bit of
    middleware (PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.) to act as your
    ambassador between
    Flash and the database.

  • What BIOS version does the Z97 Gaming include?

    As the title suggests, I'm curious about what BIOS version the Z97 Gaming 5 will ship with if I were to order it, say, right now or sometime next week.
    I'm planning on getting the Z97 Gaming 5 together with an i7-4790k, without any plans to overclock it (maybe in the future).
    I've read horror stories about people having flashing the BIOS and it failing, and honestly I don't think I'd feel comfortable doing it. I don't know much either when it comes to that specific part of computers.
    I'm mostly just curious what version the board will ship with, seeing as it's been out for a while and there's quite a few versions available for download. I haven't been able to find a solid answer anywhere, although most people seem to say that the board will come with one of the later versions, instead of the oldest, or older ones.
    Can anyone clarify this for me? I'm a little confused and just want to be sure before I make a purchase. I've finally managed, as a poor student, to get the money to buy this expensive stuff, and I just want to be sure about everything before doing anything else.
    Think first, Act later! 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Main difference between Gaming 3 and 5 is that 3 supports only 2-way XFire, but 5 supports 2 way SLI or 3 way XFire.
    Another is visual difference:Gaming 3 is looking like Z87 G45 with slight changed, Gaming 5 has the newer Z97 look.
    Apart from that I see little differences like number of PCIe slots etc. If you only will use single/dual graphics cards without any WiFi cards or sound cards, then Gaming 3 is ok for that. But choice is up to you: if you don't plan to SLI/XFire, then I would go for Gaming 3 as it's enough for single GPU. If you however would like to SLI/XFire(even in the future) then Gaming 5 is better for that.

    What plugins, software do I need for Wacom STU-300 signature pad to sign a pdf?

    This isn't the correct forum for this topic, but I may be
    able to get you started...
    The licensing restrictions on gathering form data from PDFs
    is outlined in the EULA for Reader, I believe there is a limit of
    500 copies, but I could be wrong ... you should look at the EULA to
    be sure.
    Beyond that, try posting to the

  • What kind of cert is needed for Client to MP/DP communication.

    Hi, 
    What kind of Certificate is needed for Client to DP/MP communication?   I know what the documentation says about setting up a Client cert and setting up auto enroll however, we are not able to setup auto enroll in a couple domains so we are trying
    to figure out how to get certs on these other machines.
    Will any cert listed in the personal store of the Client and the MP/DP work? 
    How does Config Manager pick the cert it needs to use for this on the CLient side and MP side?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks Lance

    We manually created a cert for a machine using the Config Manager Client template.   THis was the same template used to create the config manager client cert that we installed on the site system.
    So both the Config Manager server and Client have a cert created with this template (and therefore show the same template id).
    The client and config manager server have root certificate in the trusted root store from the same CA.
    in our ccmmessaging.log file on the client we get the following error.
    Certificate [Thumbprint ksdjfskfjdsfksjfskdfjskdjfskjfskdjfklsjdfslkfjdslkf] issued to 'machinename' doesn't have private key or caller doesn't have access to private key.
    in the certificates MMC it shows for the certificate with the above thumbprint..
    you have a private key that corresponds to this certificate.
    What are we missing?
    Thanks Lance

  • What Is The Proper J2EE Architect For This National Defense Project?

    A brief description of a national defense project I am looking into is that the system being developed is supposed to verify the "smartcard" of the card holder and his/her fingerprints against the Defense Department database. The system also reads in information about people (facial features, height, weight, etc.) and stores the information in the database, and then issues new "smartcard".
    1. People involved in the project already decided to use swing for the client tier.
    2. The problem is the Defense Department database. It is a flat file database and this database cannot be touched. It is a black box for Java developers. The Defense Department may provide a jar as an outer layer of this database.
    Question 1: Is the web tier essential for this defense project?
    Question 2: What is the proper J2EE architect for this project?
    Question 3: How to deal with the data problem? Especially it looks that entity beans are not applicable.
    Question 4: How does the system handle very heavy load? It is possible that tens of thousands of people will use the system at the same time.
