Biostar NF520 A2 Bios Upgrade

Post by kefta4ever »

Has anyone upgraded the NF520 A2? I checked the website. It has an upgrade Bios for the NF 520 A2G to work with the new quadcores. Will this also work for my A2 vs. A2G? Im just trying to prevent buying a new MB in the future.

Thanks, Kefta

LET ME KNOW ASAP I have the same board and I'd love to get the phenom instead of an entire new setup.

I've flashed NF520-A2 with BIOS from NF520-A2 SE, but afther this board won't boot.
If i find a while, i will try A2G BIOS.

I've tested my board with BIOS from A2G - it won't work (computer boots but after few seconds reboots).

Somebody uses this board with Brisbane? Does memory timings works for you?

yea, I have the brisbane and this board. Memory timings work but, they start lower than they should. My ram is 5-5-5-15 on this board it runs at 4-4-4-11 without changing it. Thats the stock speeds it uses.

If you set for i.e.: TRAS to 18T and boot Windows and run cpu-z or memset do you see TRAS=18T or other value?
I can't set timings manualy... Even if i set it to 4-4-4-13-16 (i have Corsair memory based on Powerchip - and Powerchip needs TRAS 13T or 14T) motherboard reads timings from spd and sets: 4-4-4-12-17...
