[festuz]

i have a P5Q pro mobo and i have heard that you have to flash it's bios with a modded one for it to be compatible. I was wondering if i could get some help, could somebody give me a link to the modded bios file and also could somebody give me some instructions so i do not mess up
Thanks in advanced!!

The patched BIOSes are only UEFI for socket 1155. Don't think anyone has even looked at the socket 775 CPUs

i found some modded rom files on other websites but i thought i would just make sure by asking here where i trust the website more
but how do you make sure you do not kill the mobo when flashing it?? if you kill the mobo will it not start up anymore??
can you reflash it??

Any time you flash your mobo with a modded ROM, you take a risk of bricking it. There is no guarantee that it works 100% of the time.

I used these: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/(!!!)topic/144020-mac-os-x-(!!!)leopard-retail-on-asus-p5q-p5q-pro-p5q-em-and-oth(!!!)ers/page__st__40#entry1029878

Remove the (!!!) if the link doesn't work properly.

Flash them the usual way (USB stick and use EZ Flasher in BIOS settings), but make doubly damn sure that it is the BIOS for your version of the motherboard. Don't want any bricks!

What it does however is beyond me, I have no idea what it adds or fixes.

what happens if your mobo bricks??
will it be permanently broken??
could you reflash the bios with the original one??

Only if your board has a dual BIOS.
