Can this board run the Phenom?

[hat]

In specific I will probably looking at the Phenom 9500. I have a DFI Lanparty UT 590SLI. This board is like the equivilent to the Asus Max Forumla, but for AMD.

:slap:
it will work on AM2 boards but you need something like an 8mb bios chip or some shit to run the Phenom. Phenom requires one hell of a BIOS update.

i have namslas researching it right now, please standby

There isnt a bios release yet, and according to this (http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=4716&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=UK) the board only has a 4mb bios, so it looks unlikely, though whether boards do actually need an 8mb bios or not remains to be seen (the 8mb thing may have been a very conservative estimate by an amd chap)

Flash the BIOS and you're good to go.

But you'll need a BIOS update from ASsUS first. Many AM2 boards take in a Phenom after just a newer BIOS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

It can't run phenom. BITCHBITCHBITCHBITCHBITCH

[wiak]

you need am2+ for phenoms dont you
no, most AM2 will do just fine, just be sure it has a bios update ;)
they mey need a 8MB bios but its only a 64k code or something :P
but it just comes down to ask you motherboard manufacturer and ask if it will support, i know that nvidia 420 chipset or something is phenom ready

can you give us the maker and model number ???

AM3 phenoms (DDR3) should work just fine in AM2+ & AM2 sockets to hehe :nutkick:

[btarunr]

...and here I was thinking a Phenom could do just fine on any AM2 board with a fresh BIOS. Everyone hammered me with this...Phenom goes on AM2!!!!:rolleyes:

[Darknova]

Well technically Phenom can run in any AM2 board, it's whether or not the manufacturer chooses to support them on older/cheaper boards.

From the DFIClub Forum:

Got this in update email today. LP NF590 SLI: 2007/12/12 testing XP 32/64bit are working , but Vista 32/64bit OS installation is fail.

So they are trying to move forward with what legacy motherboards they think will run the phenom. Will post bios link when one becomes avaiable.
