Hello
Original m370 bios can support cpu intel 7th Generation ?The best CPU to use is an Intel Core i7-7700T. It’s fast, multithreaded and only 35W TDP. (QC/8MB/8T/2.9GHz/35W).
As for the original BIOS, as in if you've never run WatchGuard XTM software on it and upgraded, then that I'm not sure. -

Still surprisingly expensive though. I'd argue the 7500T is better value. Potentially much better depending on how cheap you can find one.

hey all, i have seen/know the password but does anyone have a copy of the mod/unlocked bios? I really want to flash a m470 and enable speedstep. any information is greatly appreciated!
all the best
-
Same here. Got a M670 for free and want to enable speedstep.
-
You should see speedshift active on there already if the CPU supports it. Pretty sure the default CPU in the M670 does. That's superior to speedstep in almost every way.

I have a problem with my M370, it starts but shuts down at once. I would need a copy of a bios file if anyone has one.
Thanks in advance.
-
Anything shown at the console at all? Did it boot previously?
-
@stephenw10
Can't get into console because it shuts down. It has worked fine for years but after a power outage it won't start. -
But if you have the console open you see nothing at all? No POST output from the BIOS? No errors?
It sounds like a hardware failure. That's what happens if you try to power up without any RAM present for example.
I would try reseating the RAM and CPU.

How to reset RAM and CPU?
I think there is something with the bios that is causing it not to boot. -
No I said 'reseat' the components. So physically remove and re-fit them. Sometimes you can see bad connections if the unit was moved at all.
-
It was Google Translate that translated it to reset.
Reseat the RAM and CPU, tried another PSU also made no difference. -
So, to confirm, you see no output at all at the serial console?
I'm not sure there is any way to recover that. Even it is a bad BIOS. But I would only expect a bad BIOS if you were trying to flash it and it failed.
-
@v16v Do you have an SPI Flash reader that you can read the BIOS from your M370 with? The BIOS has checksums for each module so if there's corruption it should be possible to figure out where.
-
@ost0
I have a CH341A Flash reader. How do I know what checksums should be for each module?
