ABIT TH7II BIOS update for northwood - need help

[xdaishanx]

Greets all - just got an ABIT TH7II MB with a 2.0a Northwood CPU and it recognizes it as 960 internally no matter what the clock settings I put in - I found where theres a DEC BIOS update that "adds Northwood support" so I am hoping thats all the problem is - anyway ABIT's ftp site is down and all links to them for downloading it do not work - does anyone have this BIOS update and could send it to me are a link for it ( not on Abit's site anywhere )

Thanks a lot

btw the filename is

th7h38.exe

It is the problem.....no doubt! Look in my sig.....I run that board with a 2.2!

I also sent the newest version of awdflash for your bios flashing pleasure!

Here's a great tutorial on O/C'ing the TH7 too! May save you some time and questions down the road!

I AM VERY curious to know how this turns out as I built my system with the foreknowledge that it would support Northwoods, I have already flashed my BIOS to the version that supposedly adds northwood support but I need to know if it works for you, thanks...

He's putting Windows on it as we speak! He emailed me back that all worked fine and everything was recognized as it should be..................

Yep, I had to do the same thing with my Asus P4T-E

Sweet, just too bad that the ABIT TH7-II doesn't support AGP 8x, could care less about ATA133 as we've all seen it's no faster than ATA100. Looks like we have to slow down are big bad cards to 4x
