Flashing BIOS

I wan't to flash the BIOS of my Chaintech VNF3-250 to support cool and quiet? So how abt do i do this ? Is cool and quite worth the risk of bios flash ?
Thanks

anyone?

If there is a newer bios Version than your current one, its wort flashing! There is no major risk I,ve flashed loads of bios's and only once had a problem...Bad floppy!!

Just download the bios an follow the read me.

when i downloaded the bios there is no read me file :(
Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to ? :iloveyou:

EDIT: I have read that winflash can flash it from windows ? Which is safer?

Assuming you're on windows XP:

Insert a reliable , preferably brand new floppy

Go to My Computer, right click on the A drive and go to "format"

Tick "Create MS-Dos Start Disk"

Click Format / Start etc

Once this is done, (and here is where my vary for you)

I copied the BIOS updating program - adwflash.exe (Award Flash) and the BIOS update file to the disk (for me the BIOS update was V333DAA6.bin, it will be different for you)

I entered my CURRENT bios screen and disabled READ ONLY for the BIOS (a safety measure to protect the bios)

I then restarted the computer with the Floppy in the drive. It should bring you to an A prompt

I then typed

A:\>awdflash V333daa6.bin

the awdflash BIOS screen appears and just confirms some details

Once it has flashed successfully

Go back to the options and enable the safety check.

All done.

Thanks? Any risks involved? tips?
EDIT: Sucessfully completed using winflash!
I laoded failsafe defaults in bios, booted then used winflash to flash the bios and was great now i can run cool n quiet !
Thank you everyone :iloveyou:

Nice one mate!!
