looking for "original" BIOS for D850GB

shattered.likeness · Dec 10, 2006

I have seen reviews for my motherboard (Intel D850GB), and the testers were able to overclock the system using the BIOS. But, as always intel does not allow overclocking options on their boards. So, my question is this:

Is there any way possible for me to get ahold of the original BIOS, that allowed for overclocking (before GB-05)? I have already tried Intel's site, but the farthest back their BIOS section goes is to GB-05. I would prefer the original BIOS. Would I then be able to update the BIOS and the changes stay afterwards? Or would i be stuck with the BIOS that allowed for overclocking?

Any help is greatly appreciated. And, yes, I know that it would be better for me to upgrade to a better board but won't be able to until mid next year.

Thanks in advance.

I Have one of those mobos in a box and will have somewhere on my PC all the drivers and BIOS updates I downloaded for it ( I dont delete things if I still haev the hardware in the house ) but I will have to double check when I get home, so will post again if I have a pre GB-05 BIOS flash.

No if you update the BIOS the new settings come into force and you will loose the OCing abilities of the previous BIOS.

Thanks! Please let me know if you are able to find older BIOS.

Sorry out of luck, I must have deleted all bar the last two stable BIOS's in F17 and F18, also looked on the original driver CD and not their either.

Thanks for trying HALO!

Anyone else think that they might be able to help? There has to be a copy somewhere.
