Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi,

Iam searching for a bios for my Z87X-UD4H (Xeon E3 1230 v3) with support of MCE.

I can't run all cores on 3,7Ghz, I've tested multiple Bios-versions and searched hours how to modify the bios with UBU.

Unfortunately UBU seems to be useless, if you dont have MMTool (which I didnt find after hours of research :( )

Can anyone help me? Or provide me a bios with the mentioned "MCE" feature?

stasio said, the microcode should be Rev7 but I dont know how to check the bios-files for this microcode...


Many many thanks in advance!

best regards

//EDIT

I've got it! wooohoo! And everything works as expected! Many thanks!

GA-Z68P-DS3 BIOS Ua6 mod1 (rev 2.0 & 2.1)

Modified with :

Intel Legacy RAID ROM 12.7.0.1936 to 13.1.0.2030
Intel UEFI SataDriver 12.7.0.1936 to 13.1.0.2030

...the rest as GA-Z68P-DS3 BIOS Ua6 mod

Hello Virtualfred or Stasio! It seems that both of you have worked on the Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 modded BIOS. Any chance you can post this BIOS where it will load on rev 1.0 of the hardware?

I'm in a similar bind to the user slu in this post. It seems he found a modded UEFI BIOS that just allowed the rev 2.0 BIOS to be loaded into a rev 1.0 board.

If one of you out there is able to help it would save me a whole lotta trouble.
Thanks.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello,

I'm new to these forums and would like to request some expert help. I have been building, fixing and tuning systems for a long time now but i know that the community is of precious help for these kind of questions.

I would like to add a PCIe 4x to M.2 adapter to my system, and use a samsung 960.

I have been reading the BIOS modding threads, and have followed the tutorial for adding NVMe support for my bios, but i am still unsure about a few things.

Question 1:
I have opened the F20 bios for X79-UD3 and added the NvmExpressDxE_3 module GUID 9A4713C2 to the bios file, but i read something about updating the intel RAID rom. Does the Intel storage ROM have anything to do with NVMe storage devices?

Is there anyone that has a X79-UD3 bios with most modules updated already instead of updating every module myself not knowing whether or not the modules will be incompatible with one another? Are there any inter-operability issues between modules?

My cpu is a 4820k.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Regards from Canada,
Simon

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

What is the latest modified bios for a x79 assassin 2 that supports ivy bridge-e cpu? (i7-4820k). Is it F13? Where to find it?

Edit: I have used f12y mod 5, it improved a lot! My system is now for the first time stable, and I'm able to achieve a stable OC from bios settings instead of using Intel XTU. Thanks to the creators!

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello, I am very new to tinkering with Bios changes, and quite frankly a bit nervous because I don't want to mess anything up.
I have a GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 rev 1.0 and I just updated the bios to U1E in the hopes of being able to boot from a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2
Well now I realizing, and reading, that that may not work.
I also noticed that there was a modified version of a bios for my board on the home page of this thread, but I'm not sure if it will help me.
Can someone clarify and let me know if there is anything else I may need in order to boot from the NVMe M.2?
Greatly appreciate any help.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello,

The GA-H55M-S2V v1.3 is strangely absent from nearly the entire site. Mind throwing something together? The original BIOS is here: GA-H55M-S2V (rev. 1.3) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE . Newer ethernet, storage controller and etc. roms (ME?) would be great.

Thanks in advance. Your efforts are appreciated.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hey guys I know its a bit out dated but I have a gigabyte z68xp-ud4. I am using quite an old modded uefi bios downloaded from here, I was just wondering if anyone has a more up to date modded uefi bios version with updated

Intel Legacy RAID ROM,

GBE Controller

and so on.

Any suggestions welcome, does anyone else have this board?

Hi could I request a modified beta F9C bios for Gigabyte Z97 Sniper G1?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi, I'm looking for some modding help please....I have a Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 board (F9 BIOS) for which I've just bought 2x 3TB drives and now want to RAID them - because the Intel OROM is so out-of-date they only show as 765GB and won't RAID 1 properly (the RAID utility creates a pair, but then in the OS they're separate still), so I need to mod the BIOS to include a later OROM which supports 3TB drives properly.... I've done this myself on my other PC (ASUS P8Z68) with MMTool, but when I try CBROM32 1.98 I don't get the list of modules to then do the replace - from what I can read so far there are sensitive modules causing this? Here's what CBROM shows...

cbrom32_198 V1.98 [08/27/08] (C)Phoenix Technologies 2001-2008

Can anyone please help me? The lazy option (for me!) is obviously if someone could mod the F9 BIOS (http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList...7m-usb3_f9.exe) with a later Intel v11 OROM, but help on how to mod myself would be appreciated also. I've looked at the many posts for modifying AWARD BIOSes (including BIOS-Modding: How to update PCI ROM modules of an AMI/Phoenix/Award BIOS - BIOS/BIOS-Modding - Win-Lite Forum) but without the module list output from CDBROM /D I think I'm stuck!

Thanks :)

Does anyone have a good link for this board?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

I see Gigabyte has released a new BIOS for the Z77X-UD5H rev 1.0 with a F16H beta BIOS. Does anyone have a modded BIOS based on the F16H? I wish to push my RAM and CPU further, as well as ensure my computer is safe from any vulnerabilities. Right now, it runs well but I'm sure we can push it further.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello Bios Modders,

I read a lot in the thread

I tried myself to update the beta Bios from the GA-X79-UD5 - F14e

with the UBU Tool didn't work would be nice if anybody could update the bios with the latest Roms

the tool said cant open bios file

and if one is also so kind to put the NVMe Bios information in that Bios

it would be very nice

thx egalwas



Ok tested around and think i got it

x79UD514envme.rar

can someone look into the file and tell me if everything is OK

would be nice

thx egalwas

Newbie there, just want to thanks you for your work! hope nvme works?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Is there any relation between Gigabyte's official F16h Beta BIOS for the GA-Z77X-UD5H and the modded F16g BIOS? All I really need is the updated Marvell RAID controller firmware. Anyone know if the F16h BIOS includes it? Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, I can confirm that they're obviously different and that the official F16h version contains an updated (but not as new) version of the Marvell firmware. In any case, even the old firmware works now (from the previous F14 BIOS) and it seems it just needed to be flashed (I was switching out the drives I had for another pair).

In any case, could someone perhaps explain the benefits of the mods made to the BIOS in the F16g release? I'm sure it's obviously been discussed, but in summary and if put really simply, that would really be appreciated. If everything is working, isn't that all that really BIOS relative to a particular board influences? Would I be wrong to say that regardless performance wouldn't be affected? So if everything's fine, is there a point in risking problems by updating? Thanks again!
