I've tried that but XFX has stopped making mainboards so I'm stuck. They said I could try de BIOS manufacturer - in this case Winbond - but no luck so far. In case anyone has an upgrade, here the BIOS chip :

Winbond
W49V002AP
23173140-G11
336GFSA

thx in advance

hmm, I suspect that these boards are "rebagged". Post the complete BIOS string and I will see what I can find.

rebagged as in the board is originally produced by company X, but company Y purchased 1.5 million boards and modified the BIOS to suit their needs, and then sold the boards under a new model name...

If you have ever had any dealings with PC Chips you would have an idea. PC Chips boards for example are sold by a dozen or so different companies all using different part numbers for the same board...

This type of thing "motherboard rebagging" is quite common these days..
