timkenhan@sopuli.xyztoLinux@lemmy.ml•Is gaming with Coreboot (or any other open source bios) viable?

5 days agoWhile many comments here are correct that it would affect less than you’d expect, there are things that may not be covered.
For example:
- there’s no setting for hyperthreading
- no way to disable SATA drives, in case you’d like to be selective
- you’ll need to reflash the BIOS if you want to change boot order permanently
Also, make sure you have the correct video BIOS.
Did the magic smoke come out?
If so, you can try replacing the chip. Some basic SMD (de)soldering is required.
If not, you can try reseating your clip. Hopefully the chip is still good. It may have more tolerance than specified.
