I have a lanparty DK790fx and I'd like to upgrade the bios so I can overclock my AMD black edition. Unfortunately I have to upgrade the bios to do so and I can't figure out how. So I figured the (Near) infinite knowledge of tomshardware would know what to do!
 
Solution
In that case use the manufacturer's tech support if they are still in business.

There are a few different ways to upgrade (flash) the BIOS and each one is different. That's why I cannot recommend a specific way to use as a generic method.

The board was discontinued. Clicking where it says "Click here if you're not familiar with how to flash bios" takes me to an empty directory.

Pretty sure the whole company went under xD Anyways I'm going to pick this as solution, other people with the same manufacturer, check my last post before this one on what to do.
 
Thanks for the info on Winflash. Generally, I stay with the hardware manufacturers' websites for BIOS upgrades, which was not possible in this particular instance.

That is how I did the BIOS upgrades (flashing) for motherboards as well as for my Nikon cameras (they too have firmware upgrades).
