Code:
1. Save this BIOS update package to your computer.
2. Extract the files from the DOS folder of the BIOS package to a bootable DOS USB stick. Recommended to use MS-DOS 8.0
(created by Windows Millennium Edition and later) or FreeDOS.
3. Boot for USB stick into a DOS prompt and type FLASH.BAT BIOSname#.### to start the BIOS update.Took a time to find a time 
for this motherboard and update. Managed to do this via IPMI also found a way to activate for the update.

Want to thank you for the help and prompt support back in October.

Is it just Tmax (ie chip stays at max turbo as long as CPU isn't too hot) or is it also measuring power draw or other variables? Asking because I'm pondering building a workstation with one of those cheap v2/v3/v4 Xeons on ebay. Would be great if I can stay near max turbo just by slapping on a...
