Question Need bios update file for Intel DH61BE, help!

[Adam Farber]

Hi all, new to this website and looking for some help. I have an Intel DH61BE motherboard and I want to upgarde my CPU to an i7 3770 and I need bios 0042 or higher. The last bios update for this board was 0120 and I can not find anywhere I can download it. Can anyone help me iwth the file or at least tell me where I can download it? I want to update the bios using a flash drive. I am not an expert at this so ANY help great appreciated. Thanks, Adam

A quick Google search returned a few places where you can download BIOS 0120 for that MB:
File BE0120.BIO — Bios for Intel Board DH61BE (rebyte.me)

Download Intel DH61BE Desktop Board BIOS 0120 for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows XP 64 bit, Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8, Windows 8 64 bit, OS Independent (softpedia.com)

BUT as a word of caution, I would strongly advise you to Google for posts from other
Intel DH61BE users concerning BIOS updates.
You may need to flash versions in a particular order or do some other board specific things.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I tried that site, it is flagged as malicious so I am looking for someone who can tell me where to download the bios. Thanks, Adam

I just test downloaded it from both those sites and it was fine on both.
If you use the softpedia site choose t6he iFlash version which includes the needed iFlash utility in the zip file.

Hi, thanks for the post. rebyte.me website was a known malicious site, I tried that first. On the softpedia site, I did try it before but it only let me to a download where it was a program I had to sign up for, not the actual downlaod. Can you tell me what link you actually used on that web site to get to a spot where you can actually download. Sorry and thanks again for your help, as stated I am no expert but not afraid to try.

And I don't see a t6he version as I am not too bright...

I clicked on the Download Now button and then in a popup window I clicked on: Download from: iFlash BIOS Update

Hey thank you...Again, being a novice I had thought that the EXPRESS version was better then the iFlash version? Whichever one I chose I will download to my flashdrive, yes? Do I then have to change the boot order on the PC to boot from the flash drive or do I get in to the bios first and update from in there? Again, sorry...Adam

I Strongly advise you to find a forum post somewhere (possibly Intel forums) with the EXACT steps needed to flash that BIOS on your EXACT motherboard.

I could sort of walk you through it BUT I do Not know the exact method need to flash your exact BIOS on your Exact motherboard.

PS
I absolutely would NOT try flashing from within Windows (with the Express version).
Flashing from within Windows is 1000x more likely to brick your motherboard than flashing from a bootable USB in DOS.
