I have a ECS K7S5A and with a stock cooler(hey i broke blades on my volcano). And i was wondering how to overclock that pice of crap. Its a AlthonXP 2000+. Does ECS make a overclock Bios for that board. Beacuse i kinda am worred about flashin my bios that does not bear the company logo.

There is no "official" ECS bios for overclocking. I have used the cheepo bios with no problems and would have no problem recommending it to anyone that knows what they are doing

I'm using cheepo's bios right now as I type with an AMD 1700+ oc'd to 2000+ with a 147mhz fsb on a K7S5A.

How do you like them apples?

By the way, I would highly reccomend cheepo's bios, it's been every bit as stable for me as the official bios's.

I understand your concern Urban_Squrill, it was the same for me, but I flashed with Cheepos BIOS and it works fine, it even unlocks some other handy settings and allows you to add your own BIOS logo.
It still doesn't add any voltage adjustment, but I don't think that's supported by the board anyway.
