Question Foxconn support down?

[insp-tibbs]

I'm trying to find updated BIOS versions for a H67M-V 2.0 but can't connect to any of the Foxconn support sites. Are they all down? Seems to be the only place with Foxconn BIOS files.

Can't do anything about Foxconn site being down, but the pertinent question is: Why are you looking to update the BIOS?

If you don't have a problem with the motherboard which explicitly requires the update of BIOS to fix that specific problem, then you really should leave the current BIOS in place--without update.

I'm hoping to get an Ivy Bridge to run on it.

As far as I know, H77 is the minimum chipset level you would need to support an Ivy Bridge processor.

Is there no one that knows why their sites are offline? Or is it just me that can't access pages like f.e. http://www.foxconnsupport.com/downl...C000000001&Series=&keywords=Renaissance&sort=

Are there other sites that store BIOS updates from certain manufacturers? Can't find any post 2012 rom/bin files for this Mobo.

For any downloads, I wouldn't trust any site other than the legitimate website of the manufacturer, itself.

If this is a casual, "bring it back to life" project, then you have the time to wait until it's back up. If this is a "do it now or die" sort of timeline, then you're better-off going with a current motherboard, instead of a 2012 vintage motherboard that really isn't worth the effort.
