    Just wondering if I could go back from 213? I want to try something with SetFSB.

    Thanks.

    EZ Flash in BIOS should do the trick.

    I have some yard work to do today, plus I need to run my games/benchies before I swap the RAM.

    Can anyone link me to some bios versions lower than 213? 209 and 211 i think are the only ones right?

    I want to try something out too, but they werent listed in Chastity's reference page...not the JH bios at least....

    lol :p 10 CHAR

    Well going back to 211 didn't allow me to OC anymore than 213, so I'm going to put 213 back on.


    I hate flashing the BIOS.

    Yea, but I could have sworn that I was able to OC more with the 211 BIOS before I switched to the 213. Normally I would say no way since my RAM is still 1066, but I could have sworn it worked.

    Oh well. Have to wait and see about that 1866 ram.
