Cross-flashing boards or P6X58D Prem BIOS on P6T Deluxe

[ghost_recon88]

I wonder is it possible to flash a P6X58D Premium to a R3E?

[TiN]

No. I've tried with P6T to R3E. They have too much different design.

How did I miss that?
Congratulations Tin, you are amazing my friend!

Does the P6X5D Premium BIOS have the "CPU Turbo Power limit" override option, as seen in the P6TWS Pro BIOS?

[TiN]

P6X58D dont have it
only WS

[ghost_recon88]

So for 2D benching on the P6T Dlx, you would recommend flashing to the P6TWS Pro BIOS?

[TiN]

i guess for 3d also.

Is it possible to cross-flash a normal P6T (no SE no DLX) to a P6T DLX? The boards do seem very similar.

Especially since the DLX version allows you to change the PCIe speeds (either 16/16/4 or 16/8/8) which is exactly what I need.

[TiN]

Try it and report

I am tempted, however I do not own a BIOS programmer... If someone confirms having done this succesfully I'll probably have a go at it.

I've been looking online for a BIOS programmer, but I found that most of them you need to built yourself. Which is not really suiting for me... If I would have I programmer, I definitely would try it out.
