Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

The best is to pair RST ROM and driver.
Should be OK.

Edit:
Update also
Intel® INF Driver 10.1.1.11
in Windows.

Thanks again, Stasio.

Direct link to Intel Chipset INF v10.1.1.11 is:
Intel Chipset Device Software Version 10.1.1.11 WHQL

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Thanks, Stasio.

I already have Intel RST v14.6 installed on Windows 7.
Now I will update MEI driver.

You say that my chipset supports RST up to v13.2.
So will using v14.6 cause any problems?
I now have v14.6 both in BIOS and in Windows.

EDIT - Updated MEI driver:

You can also update your MEI driver v9.5.15.1730 with latest
Intel® Management Engine Interface Ver. 11.0.0.1167 WHQL
and
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver 14.6.0.1029 WHQL
(ver.13.2 is latest for support Intel® 7)

in Windows.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

OK, thanks.

I decided to go ahead and flash the BIOS that I updated with UBU v1.37.
I have DualBIOS, so I can use the secondary backup BIOS in case of trouble.
BIOS flashed OK. After that, updated MEI FW from Windows.
Done.

According your pic above,just update Intel MEI FW with
Intel® Management Engine Interface(ME) 8.1.65.1586 (Firmware)
in Windows.

Btw,
easy to do is explained here:
[Tool Guide+News] "UEFI BIOS Updater" (UBU)

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Stasio,

I tried using UBU 1.37.
The tool is not user-friendly. It's hard to understand what's going on.
It should display all my current BIOS components and version number, And offer updates for components that have a newer version.
But it only shows GUID of my current components, not version numbers.

I'm afraid it's too risky for me to do on my own, as I might mess something up.

Not much to update your Z77X series.
If anything ,use UBU 1.37 :
UEFI BIOS Updater ? RGhost ? file sharing

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Stasio,
Could you please mod the GA-Z77X-UD5H with latest modules?

Thanks.

Edit:
Only MSI updated (one of Beta BIOS) with Microcode version 12...last week.
Still doesn't mean will work properly.

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

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Modded BIOS didn't enable LLC ,as is not incorporate in BIOS.

Thanks. That's what I thought but wanted to make sure.

What is the benefit of these modded bios then? I probably just missed that information, but would like to understand what it is for.

TIA.
