ASUS A8N-SLi BIOS Update question ?

[phpdog]

Hi ,

I just bought an ASUS A8N-SLI [ Non Deluxe Model ] for now while my Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR is in the process of RMA.

Anyway is there any utility like other motherboards to update the ASUS A8N-ALI BIOS within windows ,
like winflash or like with Abit Motherboards the "Abit FlashMenu" .


I updated last night to the latest . but i done it the way , make DOS disk boot too MS-DOS then at the A:\ Prompt remove DOS boot disk and put the BIOS disk with AWDFLASH.EXE and your new BIOS file.

I prefer to do it in Windows as its a lot easier so as im new to ASUS motherboards [ this is my first ] does anyone know of any utilitys for updating ASUS Motherboard BIOS ?

I assume you got a manual and a software CD with your board? Theyre not for show, you know

The Asus Update utility comes on CD with the board, at least it came with my Deluxe. You can also get the newest version on Asus' website under the downloads/utilities section.

Why did you have to RMA your DFI anyway? Was it easy to do so, as far as support goes?

You need the latest AsusUpdate to flash the latest BIOS from Windows -- here's a link:
