What bios version should I use...??

Hi
I am running 2.8ghz intel Northwood CPU on my 875P Neo board current Bios is ver. 1.8
After running live update its telling me to update to version 3.6 bios.
I thought I read somwhere that this version is for the prescott family of CPU's.
If that is so what version of the Bios should I be running...1.9?
Thankx

The v3.x BIOSes are for the PCB 2.0 revision of the MSI 875P Neo mobo whereas the v1.x & 2.x BIOSes are for the original PCB 1.0 revision of MSI 875P Neo mobo.
The following are the links to the 2 different MSI 875P Neo mobo:
| MSI 875 P Neo Series Rev 1.0 | BIOS available |
| MSI 875P Neo FISR PCB 2.0 | BIOS available |
My advice for you is that if you are not suffering any major problems with the current system, try not to meddle with it as it may be you causing the errors in the end, for example, Bad flash etc. I rather that you keep your stable system running and enjoy the fun you have with it till something major comes along for an update .

  • 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.

  • 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.

    You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it. Have you tried that? If so, what happened?

    Thanks so much.  I downloaded Acrobat XI.  It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi).  Hope this is not a problem.

  • HT201788 What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive

    What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive?
    Thanks

    It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
    What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

  • What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    Hello laurie0823,
    already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
    if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
    No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
    Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
    For more help on different ways to manage multiple ipods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

  • What Vista version should I take for Satellite A100 PSAA8?

    Hello
    I want to install windows vista instead of the XP i have by default in my laptop Satellite A100 PSAA8.
    * which version should i go with; *64-bit or 32-bit* ?
    * and what about x86 and x64!?
    * will I find all drivers in the download section for the new OS?
    * will there be any non-working component or function after installing ?
    The new OS will make me do extra efforts every time re-install, I wish I can have any thing similar to the recovery CD of my laptob (+with the one click install with drivers also+) but has windows vista, :-(
    Is there any solution to make it easier any time i re-install?
    _Thank you in advance ._

    According Toshiba download page your notebook is supported for Vista 32-bit. There you can find all drivers, tools and utilities designed for Vista.
    There is also installations Instructions document. Use it for right installations order.
    So what you must do is to obtain Microsoft Vista installations DVD.
    If you need some assistance let us know.

  • What email program should I use?

    I have Safari 1.3.2 which I assume is the final upgrade for 10.3. I changed my browser to Firefox because of some of the problems with Safari. I was a long user of Netscape, including their email program. I want to keep Panther as my operating system. Should I use the Safari 1.3.2 for email? Want would you recommend for email, something different?

    Hi again,
    Yes, the Navigator Composer/Mail bundle... it's a good one if you like it. Has a lot of extra's to it. If you want to check out others, have you tried the one that comes with MacOSX? It's simply called Mail. It's the one I use now... it's simple, has some extra's and is all I need. Some like Microsoft Entourage which comes with the new Mac as a trial and is bundled with the Microsoft Office Suite... if you have that bundle. I find it has much more then I want to be a simple program, maybe some office types could use all that stuff, but I don't.
    Camino is just a browser. SeaMonkey is the Mac version of Netscape... it has all the elements of Navigator... composer, mail, browser and with all the same icons... it is just more Mac-Friendly then Navigator can be. This one would be worth a look if you are used to Netscape (since Netscape is now without support and has been acquired by AOL), and SeaMonkey is still going and improving.
    A stand alone mail program called ThunderBird on the Mozilla web-site is also an alternative if you want something different to try out. I have given it a look, but again it has too many bells and elements for my simple use style.
    So, I have grown used to Mail which is a natural for this Mac... works well, simple and yet some bell's to enhance with. But, you, can now give some others a look/feel and see what you think.
    Enjoy
