    Thank you.
    Please use FPT.exe to flash your BIOS backup.

    [style=font-size:17pt]C. About Intel ME System Tools[/style]

    [blau]Intel Management Engine System Tools[/blau]: The Intel ME System Tools are used for creating, modifying, and writing binary image files, manufacturing testing, Intel ME setting information gathering and Intel ME FW updating. These tools are not released to end-users but only to OEMs. The software below comes from official ME firmware updates which were provided and made public by various OEMs. Linked below you can find all the Intel ME System Tools packages I have found.

    Flash Image Tool: Creates and configures a complete SPI image file which includes regions BIOS, Intel integrated LAN (GbE), Intel ME, Platform Descriptor Region & Flash Descriptor Region. The user can manipulate the completed SPI image via a GUI and change the various chipset parameters to match the target hardware.

    Flash Programming Tool: Used to program a complete SPI image into the SPI flash device(s). FPT can program each region individually or it can program all of the regions with a single command. The user can also use FPT to perform various functions such as View the contents of the flash on the screen, Write the contents of the flash to a log file, Perform a binary file to flash comparison, Write to a specific address block, Program fixed offset variables etc.

    Note: The "Tools Version Info" text document that each package includes has been made by me to list the available most useful/common tools and their versions. Most packages also include Intel's documentation on System Tools, FW Release Notes, FW Bring-Up, SPI Programming Guides as well as some other tools (GbE, iAMT, TPM, QST, VerificationUtility etc) which provide more support and functionality where needed.

                • Mod bios for Z68 UD7_B3

                  Hello,
                  Could anyone help me with a Z68 UD7_B3 F11a bios updated with the latest ME?
                  I use this bios: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/upload/...D7-B3_F11a.zip
                  I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU and randomly I have black screen at boot... I suspect that is due to the obsolete MB bios.

                  Thanks,

                          Out of curiosity, would either of the modded bios for the Z68XP-UP3 enable LLC for Ivy Bridge cpus? I believe that the lack of LLC in the UEFI bios is what is hindering my 3770k overclocking.

                            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.
