Flash these BIOS's at your own risk. The Rebels Haven will not be responsible for any mis-flashes or "DEAD" systems
These BIOS´s are property of ASRock Incorporation To flash them, please use the provided FLASH utility. If the MAC addres of the onboard LAN is lost when flashing a BIOS you can use the files in eeAMD-SiS.zip to recover it (follow the instructions contained in the "readme.txt" file).Under the Cool!BIOS are the worlds first modified BIOS´s for the K7S8X! Common changes to all Cool!BIOS´s:
1.The LAN module is replaced by a Etherboot module that works better than the original one and will allow you boot from a DHCP Server. Works also smarter and accesses the network faster.2.Bus Disconnect aka Halt@Idle enabled (Reduces the Idle temp and also the power consumption).
Cool!BIOS were modified by honey X and guni. There is a "changelog.txt" file in the "zip" to explain what has been changed/added, please read it. Some PSU´s can´t handle the Halt@Idle requirements, in that case please use a Cool!BIOS with Halt@Idle disabled. Not supported by ASRock!
DO NOT FLASH THESE BIOS´s UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH "BAD FLASH" RECOVERY TECHNIQUES
