Good Afternoon Everyone.
I recently Googled the X48 BIOS to see what came up. Indeed there were several hits. However, one of those hits indicated that there was a F7f BETA BIOS available. But when I went to download it for further consideration, the file name indicated that it was a BIOS revision intended for a P35 chipset!
Therefore, I urge CAUTION with using this supposed X48 Beta BIOS (F7f) that's out in the wild. It may work, but chances are that it won't work properly, if at all. The real danger may be that it won't uninstall properly or allow itself to be overwritten by a truly legitimate future X48 BIOS revision, and then the user will be SOL - Big Time!
This is a classic example of the old adage about if something seems too good to be true - it usually IS!
Maybe Gary or Colin can check this out for us - we sure don't need a bunch of ruined boards on account of a bogus Beta BIOS - especially after all some folks went through to get a replacement board for the failed N680i boards.
Hello Gary & Colin - Are you listening????
Best regards to everyone. Have a nice day. TheBeagle :beer:
