Theese hotkey flashes use the following syntax:
AWFL859G BIOSFILE /PY /SN /WB /CC /CD /CP /LD /E
And choice 1-6 will automaticly flash your bios with proper parameters
to avoid any problems.




Please make sure to use the correct bios series for
your particular MS7030 board.
There is alot of boards named MS7030 now which use different series.
This collection is for convenience (ALLin1).
I take no responcibility for users flashing wrong bios or a dud bios flash.
Goto http://www.msi.com.tw and look up your MS-7030 board and
PCB version to see which series you should use.
You can also check this yourself by entering cmos - standard setup - info
to see what series is on your board already , and update to latest for the same series.

Bios series : 1.1 -> 2.1
Bios series : 5.1 -> 5.4
Bios series : 7.0 -> 7.1
Bios series : 9.0 -> 9.x
All theese series goes for different versions of MS-7030

The ISO contains the following bioses :
W7030NMS.110
W7030NMS.120
W7030NMS.130
W7030NMS.140

BIOS for K8N Neo2 MS-7025 1C3 .
Custom version rev.1 has non working HT 3.5x/4.5x multipliers .
Wasn't aware of it but they both defaults to 5x .
This is no good in an overclock attempt as you would attemt to run the HT far over it's spec .
Theese two is removed again .
In addition the 150mhz text is aligned in memory index , and 216/233/250mhz dividers
removed as they gives 100/130/200mhz anyway and they are alredy there .

Please use the new version

Dear Tripod Member,


  In order to guarantee a high-quality service on Tripod, we had to close your website http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/ as it was found abusive. 
Both HTTP and FTP access have been closed.


:undecided:

Guess my rather large ISO , was what tipped them over .


==================================================
07.16.05 (mm-dd-yy)
==================================================
There are more and more people asking about how to flash bios outside windows from
DOS without having a floppy drive .

Well here is the solution .

I Have compiled a ISO file that holds all the most used bioses for all the K8N Neo motherboards .
The cd also includes the volkov commander (norton commander clone) for easy navigating .
Click on the "MSI K8N NEO/FSR & Neo2-Neo4 Bioses" text over the platinum BMP picture to get to the directory listing.
Go into the sub directory " ALL_BIOS_ISO " and download the ISO image for the bootable BIOS compilation CD " MS_CD5.iso " .
Then burn the ISO with your favorite cd burning application.

Again note the correct flash routine , clear PnP , clead cmos , clear dmi , and load defaults after flash , theese have become
essensial to use with flashing to ther newer bioses for all boards and is even posted on MSI's bios pages.

Flash with the command line
AWFL859G.EXE 7100NMS.350 /py/sn/cc/cd/cp/f/e
(change award flasher exe program and bios file as neccesary)
After flash , turn off the PSU .
Power on again , enter bios , and load bios defaults followed by a cmos exit with save .

Note that this is just a service . I will take no responsiblitity of the outcome of the bios flashing .

1.57 gave me some problems with upped fsb , black screen on boot
and overclocking reset message - loaded defaults .
This with same settings as with 1.56.

1.58 runs just as good in my rig as 1.56 , found no issues with it (yet).

Bios for
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum s939 , 7025

Official bios W7025NMS.140 (added 12.10.2004)
This one has the same boot block as 1.51B but different from all others .


==================================================
12.07.2004
==================================================
Update of boot block is not always neccesary.
Theese tables show with a letter the boot block version of each bios.
The bat file includes a /wb switch which reprograms bootblock .
If the flash goes wrong with boot block flashed and the boot block gets corrupted , no floppy rescue can be done.
Then it's adviced only to use the /wb swich in the included bat file when neccesary.

7025 120/123/125 share the same boot block version.
7025 130/136/137/141 share the same boot block version.
7025 133/134/135 share the same boot block version.
7025 151/140 share the same boot block version.

Only when flashing from one bios version to another bios version where boot block is different the /wb switch should be used .
If boot block it's equal in the source and target bios the /wb switch can be dropped if this is prefered.

This is the 2nd time i tried this bios. One thing i noticed is that at first C&Q works for the first few days but goes away and i never get 27C again. just 34C. Im going back to 1.4, i like seeing my temp at 25-27C.

Well now im cooler then i ever was. This is still weird because i could reboot and get totally different idle temp. Kinda like rolling dice with these bios.

why is that? alot of people getting 23C- 27C,

please explain why then, i have very good air case with nice airflow also, and window is open might i add.
 
I never flash bios on a diskette other than live update that comes on MSI I need help a step by step since I have no idea what to do. Please help!
 
First off get the BIOS version you want to flash:

Take a look at syar2003's excellent collection!

http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/S754_neo_plat_bios/

Download the BIOS version you want, extract the .zip and put the files on a bootable floppy. Syar2003 supplies a handy flash.bat file with "his" 1.55 that you can use. This saves you typing in all the command line switches listed in the quote below.

After booting from floppy, copy the three files (AWFL833D.exe, flash.bat and W7030NMS.155) to a hardisk or the ramdrive that was just created by the bootdisk. I strongly advise against flashing directly from floppy!
(Notice that you will need a FAT partition on your harddisk to be able to access it from "DOS".)

Now follow syar2003's flash guide:

Remember :
Enter bios and load optimized default + save/exit , before flashing .
Do the flashing to 1.55 with AWFL833D W7030NMS.155 /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
Enter bios and load optimized default , and save .Important .
Boot once again after this without any changes/editing in bios to floppy prompt and let the dmi pool build and update itself.

Then boot/edit bios set your individual bios preferences .

Hope this will help you!

Btw. When I flashed to 1.55 my NIC went dead in windows and I had no internet access. Make sure you have a official BIOS release at hand (on the same or other disk?) so that you can flash back to a version you trust...

edit: need more info? take a look here:

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=54105
 
Do I have open these files on windows and double click? or copy these files to diskette and run in doswhen it boot? I really need step by step since I have no clue, please help

Well one of them has to be inacurrate obviously. I have a question though... 1.02V on vcore???
 
OK,

If you want to use syar2003's commandline switches, just boot from the floppy, relocate the needed files (see post above) and then just simply type flash.bat at the DOS prompt.

If you don't want to use the extra switches, just type AWFL833D.exe W7030NMS.155 at the DOS-prompt.

Still not clear, then take a look at MSI's homepage under MotherBoard - BIOS, there is also a smaal guide there somewhere.

good luck!
 
1.5b6 , 1.56 (added 10.22.04)

The "new" (unhidden ram timings) is
Row cycle time Trc (7-22,auto) , lower is better
Row to row delay Trrd (2-4, auto) , lower is better
and
Refresh period Tref , 200 3,9 is best but not all can run this.

And is found where the others are (cell menu , manual dram settings)


Best way is to test theese in a64tweaker before setting
the permanent from auto in bios .

Got a 50 MB/sec increase from that..

I guess this should be tested with a64tweaker first , what is best for the current ram .
Ram modules are different in build and some settings work better for some than others i guess. tras is a good example of this .
 
These last two beta bios's give me the options I need to tweak my new sticks of samsung but the vcore is not adjustable up to 1.8v anymore. Mine tops out at 1.7v now. Only +10% I need 1.75 to get be stable at 2500MHZ :bonk:

Come on MSI you give us some tweaking settings and take others away

Can someone modify this last 1.56 beta to have the proper voltage options? I guess I can tweak my memory while I wait for another fix.
 
how does the latest bios work ?

my board just have some problems when i want to boot it doesnt boots it fails after 1-2 sec , any idea what this maybe ? could it be the cpu which is broken? (i just tigtened my prommi a little more) , the hdd?s start also,
once the prommi had no contact with the cpu the hdd?s didnt even start (fuckin strange) if anyone has an idea please help (the 1.55 bios is flashed maybe it is just an dumb thing ? )
 
I must say it works fantastic so far with my tccd sticks. Much better than any other bios I've tried so far. My only problem is the low vcore issue.
 
Hi,

does anybody know when the final 1.5 Bios will be released by MSI?
The 1.5x seems to fix any problems i have, but i'm not sure if i update to an beta bios. But if there are any Problems, i hope i can downgrade to the last official Bios Version.
