Motherboard updates

Just noticed that DFI links to version 1.92 of WinFlash, so maybe you should download that one.

Check out this thread here for some information on the motherboard and BIOS's. HERE is the official download site from DFI for the Blood Iron.

Yes, ty, I was on the official site and thats how I saw I needed to update some stuff,but I like that other link too and added it to favs.Will have to try this tomorrow though,with new floppy.

I would actually suggest using Winflash over the floppy method. I've used Winflash for lots of different motherboards and have never had a problem.

techPowerUp! :: Download Winflash 1.26

On the left side it has newer version available Winflash 2.0.0.2 Is that the one to Dload?

OH YEAH, I forgot about Vista. Hmmmm, anyone have any experience using WinFlash in Vista?

Here is a method using a bootable CD rather than a floppy disk for flashing the BIOS, maybe that would be more reliable. :dontknow:

EDIT:
This site has a download available for Vista you could try at your own risk...

Here is a discussion on this same topic over at OC Forums and they suggested using a flash drive. Check out the thread here...

Using a bootable CD is reliable, I've done it a few times before.
