Need tips for install of new bios chip
Last response: in Motherboards
Hello All,
I would like any tips on replacement of my bios chip for my Abit I38 Quad GT motherboard. I got a flashed chip from Biosman and I just want to do a swap out. I am getting mixed results from my search on the threads. The new bios was created to allow full use of my QX 9770 processor. The version I have now is 11. I will swap out to 14. Is it really simple as just swapping one for the other? Should I do anything first? My voltage settings are all default and in auto. All is working fine now. I probably do not need the change but why not use all my processors potential. Thanks in advance.

I just read that I must clear my cmos prior to booting up with the new bios chip. Online recommendations include; use on board jumper to clear cmos. And, or enter into bios via del key and direct the bios to use default settings. Any validity to this suggestion? This from an 4/09 article. http://www.pctechguide.com/tutorials/BIOS_Config.htm
