Good afternoon people;
I have had this motherboard for while now, however after a bit of research and being on the phone for awhile, I found that Asus have no rights to this motherboard, so to speak, therefore they provide no support for it!
The motherboard is covered by RM Education, which i can only think is a company that distributes computers, for educational purposes, meaning that they will limit the compatibility so that people like me can't use them, and build them into a new system.
The problem i'm having is that i cannot find a bios that is compatible, which will result in my being able to change the CPU. Which at the moment its got a Celeron G550 which is all it'll take.
The Asus website is no help, as their drivers/bios' are for their version of the board.
I was wondering if their was a bios hack, or even a copy of the bios that i need somewhere. I have searched rigorously and still not found anything.
If its possible then it would save me some money, and give the kids a decent PC to play games on.
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit
Processor: Intel® Celeron® CPU G550 @ 2.60GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7
Processor Count: 2
RAM: 8171 Mb
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, -1 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 457359 MB, Free - 62869 MB;
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC., P8H61-I/RM/SI REV1.00
The current bios is 0403 - 23/06/2011
Much appreciated!
