You definetly mixed driver and firmware.......

No: that is what station-drivers.com published (seems to be in error).
Still looking for some kind of official documentation about the Intel ME [driver] and MEI [firmware] that Stasio unfortunately doesn't seem to be interested in sharing.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

station-drivers.com publish correct.....driver (if not I'll jump first).
Even now is posted 10.0.30.1072 WHQL driver.
These drivers seem to support all Intel chipsets from 6-Series up.

Btw,
this has nothing with my objection that 9.5xx firmware is NOT for X99 chipsets....as you posted in #4064 post.
Then,you answered me with driver version......

For your info X99 chipsets using MEI firmware versions 9.1.xx.xxxx

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Is there a modded version of the newest beta bios of the Z97MX-Gaming 5 out? If not I would be thankful if someone could do that for me.

"ME10.0_1.5M_Production.BIN" firmware here: Intel ME Firmwares & Utilitaires Version 10.0.30.1072
However: they provide no specific information on which chipset (as well as corresponding driver version) this firmware is designed to be used with.
If someone can discover such documentation, please share.
It would seem logical to use both driver and firmware of at least the same generalized 10.x version, but then nobody accused Intel of being too logical...

Re: "For your info X99 chipsets using MEI firmware versions 9.1.xx.xxxx" (as an example) is based on what specific documentation?
@ Stasio: unsubstantiated claims and statements without any backing documentation are not what I'm really looking for.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Please,DO NOT posting nonsense here.

This firmware is for upcoming Intel Broadwell Mobile CPU .

I posting here based on fact.

Edit:
You should learn a bit more, before you came to conclusion.

Case closed.......

I'd like to see the documentation, if it exists somewhere (outside of your own head).
Note: I'm not saying you're right or wrong; I'd simply like to have access to the same source of information that you're privy to.
Share and share alike.
Thanks loads.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Stasio is right. The things you say are inaccurate.

ME Firmware v6.x is for 5-series systems
ME Firmware v7.x is for 6-series systems
ME Firmware v8.x is for 7-series systems
ME Firmware v9.0 is for 8-series systems
ME Firmware v9.1 is for 9-series systems
ME Firmware v9.5 is for mobile LP chipset systems
ME Firmware v10.0 is for mobile Broadwell systems

ME Drivers work for all 6-series and up systems and no the firmware does not have to match the driver.

The "proof" you want can be found by google-searching for public/private Intel documentation (formally Intel Management Engine System Tools) or by experimenting like most people do. Not everything can be served on a platter. Knowing these takes time and effort, search first.

Hi,welcome to forum.
Your Splash Logo is .PNG file.......should be .JPG or .BMP files.

To insert new logo ,you can use @BIOS or Face Wizard from GB utilities (.BMP files) or
AMI Change Logo (.JPG files).

Hi,

Is it possible for you to tell me what format this archive is please?

The download shows as a MacBinary Archive, but when I try to use StuffIt to expand it, it doesn't recognise the format.

Thanks.

Will these work with uefi motherboards? Can it be directly be integrate to the modded bios file?

WinZip File (.zip file).
You can also use 7-zip.

Yup...

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi guys i'm new to this Mod of Bios, just got Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z77X-D3H and it has F16 version. As is understand there is a mod for F18i? but it's not the same mod as Beta one thats on gigabyte website? Also what are chances to brick motherboard if i flash this mod? same as flashing non moded bios? I do want to double check everything so apologies for stupid questions, my last MB MSI died because i flashed official new version of BIOS so want to try to double check everything before flashing again.
