GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Okay. Don't put any sandy microcode. I'm have Ivy.

Thanks, virtu

But I doubt that a Sandy's microcode can affect an Ivy CPU...

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Okay. Don't do the modded 4 yet. I will isolate the problem first. Have to do a fresh install of my OS and drivers

Thanks for your help, virtu

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Does the intel boot agent 1.5.35 work ok with g1assassin2?, if it does, could you mod f12rmod4 please. Oh, I gather I will be able to run ivy-E right?, could you add the microcode?, is it possible for g1assassin2?. The sockets the same as x79s-up5-wifi isn't it?. No, forget the the boot agent, unless theres a proper newer version for x79, I don't want to take the risk.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

this doesn't apply for g1assassin2 does it, as we have qualcom?

No, it is only for the Intel 82579V Gigabit LAN.

Not for anything else like Killer NIC, Realtek, etc.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

...
2) For the Z77X-UP4TH is it possible to have the F9 (latest and official from GB and for me most stable BIOS) with your modified splash logo and all latest ROMs but with the previous Sandy (06A7) CPU-MicroCode Rev.28?
...

Before working with Z77X-UP4TH BIOS, I think there will be a problem between old F9's logo and the new BIOS : lastest have a small logo with two other small bands, while the former have a full screen logo... what do you prefer ? Why do you not use F11a ?

Z77X-UP4TH F9 mod (still original logo)

Modified with :

Intel Legacy RAID ROM 11.1.0.1413 to 12.7.0.1936
Realtek GBe PXE 2.46 to 2.56
Intel PCI Accelerated SVGA 2137 PC 14.34 to 2158
Sandy (06A7) CPU-MicroCode Rev.28
Ivy E1(06A9) CPU-MicroCode Rev.15 to 19

-This old BIOS do not contains Intel UEFI SataDriver (so for legacy mode only)-

Bongkie: Virtualfred is right there. There's not jsut one microcode in there anyway. The BIOS applies microcodes according to the CPUID that the BIOS finds in the processor.

During my experiments I even had socket 1155 microcodes in there, accidentally.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

^Everywhere you noted...... Intel RAID EFI SataDriver - 3.8.0.1009.........should be..... Intel Legacy RAID for SATA - 3.8.0.1009.
EFI SataDriver 3.8.0.1009 is not released yet.

Yes GB abuse of copy and paste... there are 2 Legacy RAID in original BIOS, 8086,2822 and 8086,282a, i delete the second one... for the EFI SATA RAID, I was delirious but the work was ok

Thanks, previous post corrected, i took the original F12r, remake all... and verified 2 times... apologies
