wrench Known issues
  • DALLAS RTC coin cell empty

The motherboard's Real-Time Clock (RTC) chip contains a coin cell that may have drained, causing the loss of CMOS settings. This can result in an inability to save settings, causing system instability or failure to boot. To fix this, the RTC chip can be replaced with an equivalent or repaired by cutting into it and soldering on a new external coin cell holder. Replacement guides are available at https://github.com/necroware/nwX287 or https://github.com/necroware/nw12887, depending on the actual chip used.

  • Different I/O chip BIOS versions

Warning! This board comes with different Super I/O chips. Flashing the wrong BIOS with result in an inoperable motherboard. You will need an external programmer to restore the proper bios to correct this error.
