  1. Need guidance on how to update my chipset and BIOS


    I posted a problem I was having a couple of weeks ago and some nice gentleman suggested I update my chip set and BIOS. I have the new drivers but I must be doing something wrong when I try to update those two things from my BIOS. I decided to try to update the chipset first. I placed the new driver in a thumb drive. I got into my BIOS and disabled all the boot drives with the exception of the thumb drive and then I reset my computer. The computer loaded to the BIOS. The chip set didn't update. I'm unsure what I did wrong or where I needed to go in the BIOS to update from the thumb drive once my computer updated. I have to repeat this process with the BIOS. I'm assuming that the two processes for updating are identical. I know I may be doing the order wrong and some guidance here would be greatly appreciated.


    My thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

    Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:
    • New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
    • Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
    • Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
    • Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.
    Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

    P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
