Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Ace,
on the first post, instead of Z77X-D3H Bios F19i MOD,should be Z77-D3H Bios F19i MOD.
Z77-D3H Bios F13 MOD can be deleted.


GA-Z77X-D3H (Rev.1.0) -F18e-modGA-Z77X-D3H (Rev.1.1) -F18e-mod1

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Dear community,

I want to use a 3TB disk on an old EP35-DS4 rev 2.1 board. With the current available bios this can't be achieve. The latest official bios for my board is F6 and the latest beta is F7d . Can anyone please update this version with the latest RST and if possible also the Jmicron and Realtek? I understand that booting from a >2TB disk won't be possible (because no uefi), but I just want to use it as a secondary drive. I would be very grateful.

Many many thanks!

Here's your BIOS mod with RAID ROM 12.7.0.1936 : EP35-DS4 F7d mod, but I couldn't put another ROM because not enough space .

Thank you!

What are the consequences for not having enough space for the other ROMs? Some components will not work? For my purpose Intel RST from version 10.5 will do the job. Maybe that one is smaller than the latest 12.7 version?

Which other ROM you want to replaced (Jmicron and Realtek )?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Which other ROM you want to replaced (Jmicron and Realtek )?

I've started to insert RAID ROM 12.7.0.1936 with success, and when i tried to replace Realtek LAN ROM 2.55, i received this error message :

edit : same error after release the Realtek ROM.

Yes, first realtek and then if space jmicron please

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Yes, first realtek and then if space jmicron please

I'd tried but RAID ROM from 10.5 to 12.7 are much bigger than the RAID ROM 8.9.1.1002 included in F7d (RAID ROM rise from 80k to 120k, previous 10.1.0.1008 stays small but i don't think it support >2TB drives)... and Realtek LAN ROM 2.55 is also bigger than the 2.09 included in F7d... so...

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Any chance we could get them re-uploaded?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Re-uploaded what?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

My HTPC has a E8400 CPU on a Gigabyte G33M-DS2R motherboard with latest F9a BIOS released on 2009/07/31
I'd like to update the Option ROMs. Being an old Award BIOS it has Intel AHCI ROM v.1.20E and Intel MSM RAID ROM v7.5.0.1017.
So updating to latest Intel MSM RAID ROM v.8.9.0.1023 would be the only option ?
What would happen by removing the two old legacy Intel ROM modules and replacing them with the Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v12.6.0.1867 ? Would it work or would it just fail because the main BIOS module requires new settings to support it?

Then updating to Realtek LAN ROM v2.55 seems the only other possible upgrade.. the official latest BIOS for that motherboard has Realtek LAN ROM v.2.06.

Also, regarding the CRC32/MD5 checking on Gigabyte BIOSes.. how to fix it when updating/replacing an OptionROM module? You just use CBROM to do it ? Directly replacing the ROMs or reconstructing the whole BIOS structure?

I wanted to upgrade the Option ROMs if possible on that old motherboard before reinstalling Windows7 SP1 on it. I have been having some issues with the Realtek LAN not working properly sometimes (dropping down to 100Mbps or disconnecting at random) .. so I wanted to update the Option ROM avoiding using a PCI NIC.
Having to modify the BIOS anyway I wanted to know up to which Intel AHCI/RAID Option ROM version it could have been upgraded to.
