![]() ![]() I attempted to upload the BIOS files but am informed these are not allowed.Īlso when I attempted a flash with the FC flash I received the warning of file too large and the only difference is the black socket vs white with AM3+ beside the black socket, and the 1 meg larger BIOS chip. Otherwise there was no smoke, fire, or carnage and I tried this experiment because I would like to upgrade my CPU in the Krait to an FX8370 and perhaps give the FX6300 a home in the Gigabyte or at least upgrade the CPU to a 4100 and FX series are faster, easier to find and lower in cost than the 1055T 95 watt CPU! The results were no video from both the on board VGA and my added video card. Also since I discovered my RAM can be swapped, I borrowed my 95 watt FX6300 from my Krait (which fits in the CPU socket of the Gigabyte) and swapped out the AMD Athlon II x4 640. ![]() The REV 3.1 GA-M68MT-S2 also requires a newer BIOS flash to accept the FX series as well and my series 1.3 only has one version, the F1 version available! Some of Gigabytes info on the GA-M68MT-S2 is also incorrect such as the RAM and maximum supported amount listing it as 8 GB maximum but when I borrowed my newer faster Kingston HyperX Fury out of my MSI 970A SLI Krait and installed it into the Gigabyte REV 1.3 it booted up very nice with all 16 GB being recognized for what it is in the BIOS, Windows 7/64 Ult., and CPU-Z. Both boards are limited to 95 watt CPU just like an MSI AMD2 motherboard I have but FX series can also be 95 watt such as the FX6300 I have on hand. ![]() ![]() I might be hoping for a miracle or perhaps just dreaming but this board only accepts CPU up to 1055T 95 watt whereas the GA-M68MT-S2 REV3.1 accepts FX4100 and from what I can see the only difference is a 2 Meg Bios chip on the 3.1 vs 1 Meg BIOS chip on the 1.3. ![]()
