Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Thanks man, not just for that, but for all that you do for us. I will be starting on a new rig soon, and I can honestly say that I'll consider going with a gigabyte board if you're still posting your BIOS modifications. Asus has some pretty good BIOS development and nice boards, but here at gigabyte we have a virtualfred!

It wouldn't surprise me if your name appears in some reviews on newegg, because you're definitely a positive "pro" to go against some of the "cons" that these boards have.

Too much ! Thanks for your kind words, but you forgot Stasio who allows us playing with the latest BIOS... and without whom I always will modify the same BIOS.
My next MB will be a Gigabyte too, cause Stasio is here... cause they have Dual-BIOS which allow us playing with very low risk... but also cause i tried to play with some BIOS from other manufacturer, they often contains very old ROM/FW, some of these seem to be locked and tools failed/crashed.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

X79UP4.F5b modded with the meFW flashed fine through FPT and I'm up and running VF. I'll let you know how things run when I start customizing my config. But Windows booted fine on default stuff for anyone else that reads this, all is well with the file.

Hi, could you try ME FW file (both with and without in my link) and test reading ME version with MEinfowin64 please ? (run cmd as administrator, cd your_meinfowin64_folder, meinfowin64)

thank you. Flashed your Mefw File and the program says:

It's OK, thanks (you're just using an old ME driver)

Hi, i saw your multiple posts... i don't know, looks like your BIOS is corrupted, if you can access BIOS sometime did you try slow down CPU and RAM and flash BIOS again ? How did you flash BIOS ?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

my bios actually hangs like this aswell sometimes, but reboots always clear it.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

my BIOS sometimes (once in every 3-4 times) boots to similar screen too (happens throughout F19-F20's), but screen is all blue with no header with gigabyte on black. Z77X-UD3H F20c.
