I apologize, I'm just really meticulous. Let me ask you these then:

1.) What if you "insert compressed" an uncompressed file, will the file inside the BIOS be EXACTLY the same as when you "insert compressed" a pre-compressed file upon insertion?

2.) Wouldn't it make sense to "insert as is" a pre-compressed file since it's already pre-compressed anyway?

lordkag said that the "insert compressed" would compress the file before inserting and that's what I exactly thought about it. So I'm thinking that you should always use the "insert as is" option because that way you can pick between between the uncompressed and pre-compressed file without MMTool modifying it upon insertion. If you want an uncompressed file inserted, "insert as" the uncompressed file. If you want a compressed file instead, "insert as" the pre-compressed file. Does that make sense?

@ kevindd992002:
As lordkag already has stated, the discussion about the insertion of compressed or uncompressed FFS files is useless, because there is enough space within your mainboard BIOS and you don't have any problem to get any original SataDriver.ffs module inserted the normal way:
Take the uncompressed original or TRIM modded Intel RaidDriver file of your choice and use the "Insert As is" option. If the EFI mode Intel RAID Utility shouldn't be visible within the UEFI BIOS Setup thereafter, this may have different reasons, but the FFS file insertion had been 100% correct.

I told you why (probably) the menu is not showing. If that's correct and only if you have a RAID array (otherwise useless and a waste of time), I suggest you search newer Asus BIOS for v12.x EFI drivers. Not v13.x though.

Hi,
I have an Asus P8Z68 deluxe gen 1 board that I have modded the bios using Mmtool and added the 12.9.0.2006 satadriver module into the bios. I can go into the Efi raid tool in bios by pressing the right arrow but the problem is that when I enable Efi boot Rom mode in the boot menu and reboot the boot logo resolution on screen is increased and it locks up requiring a cmos reset to gain access. At the moment I have 'keep current' enabled which suppresses the onscreen Intel raid boot verbose message and it boots fast enough without a single on screen message I'm not worried. My video card is an evga 780 SC and I think it's Efi compatible. Could it be because there's no Efi partition anywhere it's stalling?

Thanks.

But did your system lockup at all when set to efi mode the first time?

Fernando,

I found a newer GOP intel rom module than the one you have listed. Its ver 5.5.1023 according to the description on Tweaktown for my Z87X-UD5H board. You could find it yourself googling or I could send it to you if you want.

UBU package contains the latest version of the Intel GOP Driver v5.5.1031. :)

EDIT by Fernando: This is the latest version of the Intel Broadwell resp. Broadwell compatible GopDriver, but davidm71 was talking about the latest Intel Haswell GopDriver.

The new Intel Haswell GopDriver v5.5.1031 has been added to the start post.

Confused. There are two GOP drivers? One for Haswell and Broadwell, and one exclusively for haswell? Which one would be appropriate for a Z87 board running a 4670k?

Also if I have a discrete graphics card theres no point in upgrading right?

Thanks.
