MCP61PM-HM (Iris)

[Fyrie]

Yeah we tested a couple of 95W Phenoms that worked, so we recommend the 65W because the socket really isn't designed for 85W but manages with some issues. We haven't tested that specific CPU but that's the golden CPU I've been saying would probably be best suited for these boards, and those 910es are nice, cool, and fast too

Hello Sir!
Firstly, Thank you for the tremendous work you've put helping us give a second chance with these older systems. I wanted to ask you some questions and apologize in advance for my lack of experience. I've never flashed a BIOS before and am using a MCP61PM-HM Rev 1.0B I'm assuming it's an Iris.

1. The links provided in the first page of your post with the steps, are they up to date? Do they have the latest version? Also will it be compatible on my board?
   
2. My board supports up to Athlon 64 x2 4800+ as it has currently 5.27, if I flashed it and used this bios provided would I be able use the AMD Phenom II X4 910e? have you confirmed it works?
   
3. Before I make the jump, I wanted to back up my BIOS and restore just in case. I was following this thread here: https://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/...-recovery/   Since I don't have a laptop, should I be taking out the CMOS battery instead where it mentions to take out the battery in step 6?
   
4. After the flashing, is there any settings that need to be updated in the BIOS?
   

Thank you again for everything. I do apologize for suddenly reaching out. I am eager to flash but am nervous and would like to make sure everything is backed up first before anything.
