I wouldn't mind hearing from other people using boards with the Intel ICH10R Controller
if the modded Intel RAID ROM v11.6.0.1702 also enables TRIM in RAID0 for them as well.

On further testing of the modded Intel RSTe RAID ROM v11.6.0.1702 it seems I have encountered
an issue with it and the Rampage III Extreme Onboard Marvell Controller.

I discovered that the modded Intel RSTe RAID ROM v11.6.0.1702 seems to conflict with it or stops
the Onboard Marvell Controller from working when the Intel ICH10R SATA RAID Controller is
set on RAID mode within the board BIOS.

I haven't properly tested this but I think the Onboard Marvell Controller starts working
normally again as soon as you disable RAID mode within the board BIOS for the
Intel ICH10R SATA RAID Controller.

It is definitely the modded Intel RSTe RAID ROM causing the issue with the Onboard
Marvell Controller because I also did a test with the official non modified Intel RSTe
RAID ROM v11.6.0.1702 and the Onboard Marvell Controller starts working perfectly
fine again when the Intel ICH10R SATA RAID Controller set on RAID mode.

This doesn't bother me so much because I have the Onboard Marvell Controller
disabled within the BIOS because I don't use this Controller but it might bother
those who do use this Controller along with the Intel ICH10R SATA RAID
Controller on RAID mode.

Hopefully he will agree to check up on this and see if he can come up with a solution for this issue
because it might cause the same issues with other boards using a similar Marvell Controller.

Hmm, interesting I use this controller for eSATA backup devices but I have not turned it on yet to see what happens. Maybe I should do that now. Thanks for the report sinders.

How do we mod other OROM's? I would like orom 11.2 and the latest 12.7 modded as well.

OK, I am confused now, I am using the back panel eSATA port near the cmos clear button. Is this port serviced by Marvel or JMicron? I am under the impression that it is serviced by JMicron and thus I am not using the Marvel port at all. Right?

EDIT: @sinders, what did you do to get the Marvell to stop working? I just enabled it and installed driver 1.2.0.1039 and it is working just fine here as far as I can tell. I just deleted my backup and made a new backup as well.

EDIT2: LMAO, err never mind haha I just realized that I am using the Jmicron controller for eSATA backups (my bad). LOL, my red ports are empty. The controller enabled just fine though and the driver also installed just fine for the Marvel but I have nothing connected to it.

Yes the back panel eSATA port near the cmos clear button are for the JMicron Controller.

For me, when the Onboard Marvell Controller is enabled and the Intel ICH10R SATA RAID
Controller is set on RAID mode at the same time, I just get a black screen with no Intel
RAID BIOS screen showing up and no Marvell Controller BIOS screen showing ether.

Are you saying your BIOS setup screens turn black, or your Windows session screen turns black? I have all three controllers enabled... I will restart and go into bios now.

EDIT: Ok, I went into bios and it is working. I also hit Ctrl+I and it is working just fine. I also hit Ctrl+M and it just instantly goes to windows loading screen. That is probably because I have nothing connected to the Marvel ports though. I am not getting any black screens.

By the way, yesterday when I first flashed this modded bios I also had a black screen AFTER hitting the del key, or when hitting F1 to continue. It would not stop doing that until I held down the clear cmos button for 30 seconds. After that it has not come back. I turned off the power supply before holding down that button though. Not sure if any of that will help you though.

The screen just turns black when the board BIOS is about to load
up the Intel RAID screen that normally shows up when booting.

I will try to clear the cmos and take out the battery and if
that doesn't solve the issue then it must be something with
my system that is causing the issue with the modded Intel
RSTe RAID ROM and the Onboard Marvell Controller.

Thought I would reply with how I flashed this modded BIOS.

1. I restarted PC into bios where I then used the "Load BIOS Defaults" to set the bios back to default setup.
2. I then restarted the PC and hit DEL key during bios screen to enter setup again.
3. I then went to the Asus EZ-Flash screen and flashed the modded TRIM bios.
4. I then restarted the PC.
5. I then hit DEL key and entered setup again and then enabled RAID mode.
6. I then restarted and hit the DEL key and BIOS went into black Screen with a blinking cursor. (Repeated this step several times to no avail)
7. I then turned off the power supply using the switch on the PSU.
8. I then held down the CMOS clear button on the back of the mobo for 30 seconds. (No battery removal)
9. I then turned on the PSU.
10. I then hit Start button (or reset, I forgot which) on the mobo PCB.
11. I then hit DEL or F1 key (I forget which one) to enter BIOS setup screen.
12. I then set Raid mode for Intel and AHCI mode for Marvel and did ALL my other settings at once this time.
13. I then "Saved to CMOS" and restarted the PC.

Everything has worked normally since. Hope this helps...

I think something with my hardware doesn't like the these changes made to the Intel
OROM and the effects of this is its causing issue with the Marvell Controller.

I have tried clearing CMOS and taking out the battery but still get the same issue.

For me, my system runs fine with the Onboard Marvell Controller disabled.

I am just going to give up and not going bother with troubleshooting this
issue anymore. I can't be bothered doing further troubleshooting like
taking out hardware from my computer and stuff.

Like I said previously, I am not too much bother about this cause I don't
use the Onboard Marvell Controller anyways.
