Sorry but i don't know how to do it, this BIOS is aberrant : there is a Gbe region but G1.assassin2 hasn't Intel LAN chip, and when opening BIOS with FITC i've got an error cause platform is unknown while it should recognize a C600 Series Patsburg X79...
Perhaps i can mod it to disable Gbe region... but it's a dangerous game...

@virtualfred:

I need to do critical stuff on my workstation, so I'll not be flashing BIOS for some time. Perhaps I'll try when F5b gets released.....

Cause i'm trying to include ME FW directly in BIOS to avoid flash it after each BIOS update

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

@Amurtigress

Thanks for your feedback, but why do you prefer F13u if bugs are fixed in F13v ?
Waiting for your opinion about F13x, cause this is the first and unique MB for which GB puts this new ME FW 8.1.51.1471 (in F13w too)...

I had some difficulty inserting the new MEFW in my Z77's BIOS... in testing...
