Conker Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So I guess I need a new bios chip. Where is it located??? ...a little bit more information would be useful...maybe some pictures... What components are built-in? CPU-Model (i7-980X, i7-3930K,...) or generation (Westmere, SandyBridge-E,...) would already help a lot to determine what motherboard is installed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artixalpha Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 i7-920, nvidia 660ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If that's your board, then it looks like the bios chip is soldered between the first and second pci-e slot. There's a header next to it that might be wired to it and could allow you to reprogram the chip without soldering. Thanks @Conker for finding the board with so few information. EDIT: If you need a bios chip I might be able to help you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 First of all you should make sure that my assumptions are correct, I can't be 100% sure from that pic only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artixalpha Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes, that is the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That is the chip. Cool. Now I know so much more. Seriously.. what kind of chip is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artixalpha Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's a SOIC chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 -.-Are you kidding? I can see that from the pic. I wanted to know the model. Dude, if you want help then provide some information. It's really annoying if I have to ask for every tiny bit of information twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
