Please update the 1-st post with the links to various CBROM versions, http://www.lejabeach.com/CBROM.html for example.

There is no CBROM V1.55 in your collection. What version should be used with Gigabyte BIOSes?

@Gregory Tumanyan

You are right. Some versions were missing in this file. I fixed it. You can download it again.

@Gregory Tumanyan

CBROM 1.55 is the one you should use. Anything newer will try to rearrange the first half of the Bios and, as a results, the flasher won't accept to flash it.

I faced the same issue as @Skorbin with 1.55. MC Extractor sees the codes but the flasher doesn't accept the modded image.

@Gregory Tumanyan

If everything is perfect with MCExtractor then i suspect this could be a checksum error. Restore the checksum by replacing the last module in the Bios with CBROM. This will assure that the checksum is correctly restored and it should flash.

@anhnga

You can try to add support for 960T by adding in the Bios the CPU microcode for it which is the microcode with the CPUID# 100FA0

My mainboard can detect Phenom 960T correctly name... but it not show correct CPU clock. but it run well with slowly speed
The CPU clock alway lock in 800mhz...

Did you know how to fix that? or Could you mod this mainboard's bios for me? Please!

Thank!

I modded your bios file with the newest µcode "cpu00100FA0_ver010000DC_2011-10-24_710BF12A" and corrected the checksum.
Nothing other changed.

!!! I did it with the best intentions, but I can't guarantee that it will work. I do not offer any warranty. !!!
