Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Evening virtualfred, is this new "ME Firmware 9.0.13.1402" also applicable to our "oldskool" Z77X-UD5H boards?

No I think 8.x is for z77 and 9.x is for z87.

As I told fred I would be careful with updating MEI via bios MEI firmware posted before 9.0.13.1402 would not flash to my board but 9.0.13.1402 did. The one that would not flash said in compatible in windows.

Not sure what happens in bios if this is the case.

Try for your self in windows it should say not compatible when you try to flash.

No to my knowledge we must keep our old MEI 8.*****... but you can purchase a new Z87 MB if you absolutly want to use the new MEI 9*****...

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi Virtualfred!,
if you have time to spend for my request, would you be so kind to mod these two BIOSes (Z77X-UP5TH F12j mod2 + Z77X-UP4TH F9 + both with Sandy (06A7) CPU-MicroCode Rev.28) adding the latest ME Firmware V.8.1.40.1416 directly into BIOS?
I would appreciate so much because i've some issues flashing the Modded BIOS + the ME Firmware from Windows.
If you encounter space problems in managing the MODs you can use your BIOS modified splash logo that I really like.

Thanks a lot for your patience and disponibility.

Good evening,

KK

Thank you for your support, i hope it will work well :


Z77X-UP4TH F9 mod2 (original splash logo)

Don't be afraid, your MB will need to shut down and restart 3 times to apply new settings (first long, second very short and third long shutdown/restart).

Thank you in advance for your feedback .

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi VirtualFred

I wondered if you would be so kind as to do your upgrade magic (ROMs & Microcode etc) with the Z77 Sniper M3 Bios?
(I believe F10F is latest)

No kidding I think you do a better job than Gigabyte do in providing updated BIOS' for users and there are plenty of people out there that appreciate your work.

Thank you so much VirtualFred, my system feels much snappier now. :) Gigabyte could take a few lessons from you I think. Your work is greatly appreciated!

Hello Virtualfred, i've flashed the Z77X-UP4TH F9 mod2 but is not working properly because i loose the possibility to modify the BCLK that is fixed @default (100Mhz) but it shows 99.79Mhz from BIOS.
What's wrong? I've done all things like every time i flash the BIOS, e.g. CMOS reset (pull out the battery) and load optimized defaults.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
