NVME Boots much faster for me, it may depend on the system you install it in and it's BIOS etc.

Right, the flash went wrong and i dont have a floppy drive to recover from the boot-block of the award/phoenix bios

Hmm...

Sorry to hear. Time to get a flash programmer What does the BIOS chip look like on this board?

Yea its soldered to the board, however the boot block still shows up at boot and it searches for a floppy drive, i made a copy of the original BIOS before i flashed so i should be able to reprogram with it somehow?

heres a large clear image i just took of the chip itself: shame because its a brand new old stock board, Winfast K8S755A 6EKRS Revision 1.3

Here is the original BIOS that was on the board: BIOS File

That's too bad it's not in a socket! You would have to remove that chip from board to re-program, or solder back in a socket, then reprogram the chip and put back into the new socket

Nano USB programmer on ebay is the only one I know of that works with these kind of chips (PLCCC32) now, I think it's $17 shipped but I'd have to check I haven't looked in a while.
Yes, still $17.99 shipped for cheapest model (ie programmer only, that's all you need) https://www.ebay.com/itm/271313593344

Yes, BIOS above looks OK, it's older than one I linked you to, but same BIOS ID

Yea mate i think im going to fit a PLCCC32 socket, as award bioses are very finicky, the bios you link unfortunately was corrupt.

Wonder if this replacement chip would come already programmed? http://www.bios-chip24.com/epages/637300.../Products/10333

Right problem sorted i used texas instruments UNIFLASH and now have the latest bios on it from 2005. its up and running however there are no voltage controls in the bios whatsoever, this board has a agp/pci lock but no voltage control, i have a feeling its hidden somewhere and needs to be enabled, the 3700+ is running at 1.44v which is way too low, for a stable overclock you need 1.5v on these cpus, my asrock board goes upto 1.55v but has no agp locck meaning the 2.4ghz chip maxes out at 2.51ghz on the asrock vm800

I strongly suggest anyone who owns a board with a phoenix award bios to NEVER use AWDFLASH, instead use UNIFLASH

It was the damn AWDFLASH that crashed my board

Well the machines fully built, ive built my own amplifier based on tda 2030 20watt output on a pair of videologic satellite speakers, its running brill, fitted vu meter and volume control too, it has a 6800gt a gig of ram and 2xpatriot ssds in raid0

bottom left ive cut the case badge hole out ready to fit a digital photo frame to show brand logos, basically in 2004 it would have been a wet dream of a machine lol.

Ok what the hell happened to all the foxconn/winfast motherboard drivers, i'm trying to find a BIOS for my Winfast K8S755A 6EKRS REV:1.3 motherboard. this is a damn good socket 754 motherboard, probably the best one of the lot but damn,

Cant find a working winfast or foxconn site anywhere.

Im switching over to socket 939 and using an athlon 64 x2 4600 dualcore cpu m8 instead, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard has dual channel support for ddr400, also.

socket 754 and 939 support windows 95 right through to windows7, unbelievable range of support.
