Hello,
I own a Huananzhi X79 ZD-3 motherboard and need help updating the BIOS to support an Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2.
Current BIOS: X2011 0.01 x64.
I have downloaded the original BIOS from the Huananzhi website, but surprisingly, AFUWIN reports that this file does not belong to or fit my motherboard.
I suspect this is because the previous owner of my motherboard (it’s a second-hand product) mentioned that they flashed a custom BIOS onto it.
I have been using this motherboard for 2 to 3 years, and it works fine, but I am now upgrading to a better CPU and want to update the BIOS to the latest version. However, it seems to be a challenging—or maybe even impossible—process.
Does anyone have suggestions or links to compatible BIOS files?
Thank you very much!
