MSI G-Series Unlocked BIOS


Xonar

Recommended Posts

Apologize for the delays... Thanksgiving holiday, had family over for a couple of days.

So these are all RAID versions of MSI BIOS's?

Yes. If you don't have RAID, you can still set SATA Mode to AHCI.

Xonar,

There is an updated bios version from MSI for GT 60 series.

MSI Global - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

you might as well put the modded bios version with this one regarding the memory tweaks, cpu unlock etc... tnx

Sure.

Can I ask for a modified BIOS for GE70 with 660m?

[ATTACH]5421[/ATTACH]

Yep, I will.

Thank you! It worked.

Wanted to ask: can be heard on the MSI GT 683 can be put Ivy Bridge CPU if flash the modified BIOS. Is it really possible?

No, never.

Hi

There is something strange with this new bios.

The previous bios 10T does nothave any option to boot in UEFI mode.

Cant install the 50T bios.

I did ask MSI to comment and waiting for an answer.

EDIT

reading more on i it seems that new GT60/GT70 are shipped with a different bios which has a win 8 key embedded in the bios. Probably the 50T is only for GT60 shipped with win 8. If that is tue,Lets hope MSI will keep maintening both bios version.

Yes, if you look 50T/70T are for Win8.

Is it possible to flash the BIOS from GT60 to GT683

No. Don't do it.

I don't understand why you are so insistent on a non-RAID version. What happens when someone adds a second HDD and RAID? Now they have to flash another BIOS. With the RAID-enabled BIOS all they have to do it set AHCI to RAID.

Also, use the '@' to get someone's attention. For instance, @alkado will page you. :)

post-6549-14494993918157_thumb.jpg:D I've unlocked a lot of different features on my gt683dx that I couldn't see with the gt680/gt683 bios, I've been up for 34 hours looking for a way to access the mebx menu and now I'm trying to find a string in the bios where I can enable or find the key combo to enter the mebx which is integrated in the chipset, if this is possible I should be able to edit the me firmware too see if there's anything of interest in there.

What I've learned is that dell uses ctrl+p, and others use ctrl+alt+f1 in post to access the mebx and the default password should be admin to gain entry to the management engine interface.

Most other oem uses there own key combination

I don't know if this is possible but I sure hope i might find a way around this.

That's certainly interesting, I really hope it's not a dead end. I will look in to this just a bit more before I give up but first i need 12hours of sleep before I get hallucinations ;D

*edit*

From what I've read you wont have to modify and flash the ME fw if I get this to work.

Is it possible to use 1600/1866 MHz Memory (2x8Gb) in GT683DX with i5-2450M CPU?

same question but for MSI GT60. Can use 1866 for 4 slots of memory?

2nd question... When are you going to release the updated modded bios version for MSI GT60? last time u said to not update cos memory option is still grayed in bios.. Thanks

Hi Xonar.

Please tell me, it would be possible after flashing a modified bios to MSI GT683DX manually change the frequency of the processor and memory?

you can not oc the memory. You can't oc the cpu unless you have a XM version.

I think I need some help guys.

I have an MS 1761, but when flashing (after I type update.bat), I got error " rom file romid is not compatible with existing bios romid"

after some Googling, I found some suggestion to add /x parameter to bypass ROMID check.

Is that true? (or in other way, IS IT SAFE?)

I'm sure already downloaded the right BIOS :)

Thanks in advance *beer*

Found on the Forum's such a method to unlock the BIOS 162:

This is just a reminder. Follow these EXACT steps to overclock this board.

1. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC

2. Set ICC Watchdog Timer to Enabled

3. Save settings and exit.

4. Restart.

5. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC

6. Set ICC Watchdog Timer to Disabled (DON'T RESTART)

7. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC → DIV2S

8. Set base frequency to desired setting. (10400 = 104 MHZ)

9. Change clock spread spectrum to 0 (This stops downlocking)

10. Apply settings permanently after restart. (DON'T RESTART, EXIT TAB)

11. Set ICC Watchdog Timer back to Enabled.

12. Save settings and restart. (Your 16F2 should turn off)

13. Turn OC'd 16F2 back on... <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Обычная таблица"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->

Step 8 settings would be for sandy bridge? What would a starting point be for the 3610qm?
