Most AM2 Motherboards Not Phenom Ready

Epox MF570 SLI (Nvidia nForce 570 SLI)

Board Revision: 1.0
Installed BIOS: 08-01-2006
Upgraded with: 01-12-2007

The MF570 SLI is a mainstream dual graphics motherboard, which supports dual SLI graphics using eight PCI Express lanes for each slot. Four phases on the voltage regulator are still sufficient to support Phenom. However, the last BIOS update by Epox was released almost one year ago. The latest version we found is dated January 2007, and it adds support for AMD's initial 65-nm processor generation along with some bug fixed. There was no change to run the Phenom on this motherboard due to missing processor support.

    too many vendors boycott the upgradebility they just dont want to release a simple bios update because they want to force costumers to buy a new motherboard. it would anger me i would have bought a am2 motherboard and the vendor was such a bastard to boycott the upgrade.today those bios updates are rare too find. so far i have only few vendors who upgrade there bios. apperently ASUS support it the best so that is why i will choose ASUS above all those cheap bastards from now on
