I missed these completely and focused solely on your guide. Thank you.

The only thing bothering me right now is figuring out a way to update LAN ROMs properly. Older UBU versions fail to install the proper version, and the latest one, which seems to resolve this issue, generates a BIOS that is not updatable. I already reported it.

You are right: We need a completely new guide about how to update an AMI Aptio V BIOS.
I am still hoping, that CodeRush will write it within the next weeks.

Fernando I am a new forum member but I have been following your guides for years, I wanted to thank you for all your work. UBU is an amazing piece of software relieving many of us from some of the most complex tasks, and I can only hope to see it working across all different BIOSes in the future, including ones like my R5E. I wish I had the knowledge to help with what you are doing here.

Alright, here we go:

Microcode updated to the latest version (2015/08/10)
RAID updated to the latest version (14.8.0.2377)
LAN updated to the latest version (6.6.04 & 2.035)

Unlike Unb0rn's version, the Realtek Gigabit UNDI EFI module is not removed, and thanks to the latest UBU tool it has the correct Intel module.

Intel EFI LAN 6.6.0.4 seems to be really old(July?) and it seems like they switched our NIC to 0.0.x versioning. At least, it looks like this.

Well, according to UBU 1.43, v6.9.07 is for "Intel NIC 210/211/350" while v6.6.0.4 is for "Intel NIC 82579/217/218/219+210/211/350".

Rampage V has "Intel I218V" controller so, according to UBU, the correct version is v6.6.0.4 and not v6.9.07. This does not mean the latest version will not work - but I trust the UBU creators with my eyes closed.

Regarding UNDI v0.0.09 there is this:

Zitat von SoniX im Beitrag RE: [Discussions] UBU Tool related Questions, Reports and Suggestions
Rule updating Intel LAN:
If onboard 1 NIC 82579/217/218/219 - Gigabit UNDI v0.0.09 (for Aptio 4 Boot Agent CL v0.1.05)
If onboard 1 NIC 210/211/350 - PRO/1000 UNDI v6.9.07 (for Aptio 4 Boot Agent GE v1.5.72)
If onboard 2 NIC 82579/217/218/219 + 210/211/350 and 1 EFI module - PRO/1000 UNDI v6.6.04 (for Aptio 4 Boot Agent CL v0.1.05 and Boot Agent GE v1.5.72)
If onboard 2 NIC 82579/217/218/219 + 210/211/350 and 2 EFI module - Gigabit UNDI v0.0.09 + PRO/1000 UNDI v6.9.07

And UNDI v0.0.09 does in fact work. However, mind that Rampage V's BIOS reports "EFI Intel PRO/1000 UNDI - 6.0.24" in UBU, making the 6.x.x.x versions the more likely compatible ones, but this is something only SoniX / Fernado can clarify, not me.

If SoniX / Fernado say UNDI v.0.0.09 is better I will update accordingly and it will be very useful information, but until then I will go according to the original BIOS, which reports "EFI Intel PRO/1000 UNDI - 6.0.24".

If the motherboard is installed only one network controller 82579, 217, 218 or 219 - uses the new version of the files 0.x.xx.

It does have one controller physically, but UBU reports this:

LAN OROM PXE and EFI UNDI - Intel, Realtek, BCM, QCA
OROM Intel Boot Agent GE - 1.5.47
EFI Intel PRO/1000 UNDI - 6.0.24
EFI Realtek UNDI - 2.026

Should we go for the one UBU defaults to (0.0.09)?

EDIT: Updated to the latest ASUS BIOS version (1801):

Microcode updated to the latest version (2015/08/10)
RAID updated to the latest version (14.8.0.2377)
Intel LAN updated to SoniX's suggested version of (0.0.09) - you can switch versions by forcing them via UBU v1.43, according to your needs or in case something changes regarding the NIC matter.

Note for overclockers:
The latest CPU Microcode has helped me achieve the same O.C. with 0.05 less voltage in both cache and frequency on a 5960X.

Yes.
EFI LAN Realek UNDI can be removed.

Thanks for this, I will have a crack at installing this and filling in all the settings when I get chance to sit down for an hour!

are you planning to remove the realtek module as I will post this on the Asus forums once you give me the nod :)

FYI one boards been bricked so I do advise resetting the BIOS before using flashback so we have done as much as possible to stop it bricking. Last time mine bricked it took a lot of messing about swapping BIOS and resetting (with mains pulled) to get it to boot again.

(mine bricked on stock 1701 using normal flash methods not flashback and the guy who bricked his today also didn't use flashback))

Yes it is completely updated and the absolutely best right now since it comes from SoniX - I will be pulling mine down.

Thank you for this SoniX, I hope you find the time to tell us how you removed and updated the modules so we can do it ourselves next time instead of bother you.

Thanks again!
