Hi all,

This seems to be a cool forum dedicated to bios modding. Were do you get rom updates for AHCI, LAN, IME, Microcode etc.? Maybe I missed it :(

I just wanted to know if anyone does any modding as a hobby?. I have an Asus Z87A and I wondered if anybody wanted to try their hand at modding an updated Bios?

Eventually, I will try my hand at this, but for now, I'm not very confident.

Thanks

Easiest way is to use UBU

Hey Virtualfred,

Man, you always were the fastest trigger of the bunch.

All Asus bios have changed to 1707 but nothing about my board.

Thanks for the update.

Merci à toi aussi et bonnes vacances (thanks to you and have a good vacation because this is also the time to rest :)

Well,

This is a first Bios says ''Security verification fauiled'' when trying to read USB drive.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

It is not easy to flash a modified .CAP BIOS unless the mainboard has the "USB Flashback" feature, but I suspect, that the ASUS Z87-A doesn't have it.
Please ask CodeRush for a solution.

Hi Fernando, No, the Z87A doesn't have flashback :(. Will ask CodeRush. Thanks

Thanks for the find Fernando. Actually this is a step by step to mod a mdded Bios. I really don't want to brick this board since it's my working tool and not my playing.

I will wait and see what comes from comments from CodeRush. Funny I was reading his posts on MDL before I came here

Well, here is what I got and I'm not sure it's right.

Hi Virtualfred,

I still use your bios tweaks for my GB board and it works a lot better!! I'm at a loss with bios tweaking. My specialty is more desktop tweaking. If you get an idea and you don't think it will set my board on fire just give me a shout.


Thanks.
