A lot of these workstation owners are having some concerns, it seems. When I looked at thread a couple of days ago, it was pushing 1200 reads. About 4 months ago, I opened a support ticket on Lenovo forum due to multiple motherboard-related anomalies, some serious. Latest Speccy v.130 has a m/b temp frozen at 28 deg C for me.Ģ. Piriform's support ended up installing Speccy on her Lenovo laptop and it didn't read the m/b temp on her machine either. It's a risk and gamble, particularly if the read-me says nothing. The original question was not whether I should flash BIOS but whether one should flash BIOS with pre-existing multiple and vague motherboard issues already in place- to see whether any of those issues were addressed. This is resolved b/c BIOS was flashed anyway. This would throw the dilemma into sharper focus, perhaps.Ĭlick to expand.This is a Lenovo workstation, not a PC per se. I called tech support who guessed it was a false positive but wasn't sure. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!Įdit to add: The right way to install BIOS update is via USB, right? According to repeated motherboard diagnotics, there is a USB fault somewhere. I'm very hesitant-as a background, a new and identical model's motherboard died after only two days. I did, just to cure the first Speccy issue, but that's back anyway. Some would flash their BIOS for just one of these issues, I guess. C hotter than everything else's using Speccy's previous working version. Here are the following: inability to read motherboard temp in latest Speccy version (paid), USB failures on Lenovo's motherboard test, motherboard temperature reading 10 deg. Just because there's a new BIOS version doesn't mean you have to go thru with it. The read-me doesn't provide any explanation, nor is there any I can find elsewhere-it came out a month ago. This version is Nomal-no security issues. In my case, though, there are problems, small but there. Of course, the overwhelming consensus is not to do it, particularly if there isn't any problem. I'm in a kind of grey zone with the third BIOS update offered by Lenovo for my model in less than a year.
