Hey Guys!

I´m a Benchmarker on HWBot, where every single Point matters.
And I wanted to ask, if someone would be so kind and could please delete the MC Update?
That would be really awesome!

Here is the DL Link to my BIOS from ASUS direct (add https, wasnt able to post the link):
://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2066/ROG_RAMPAGE_VI_EXTREME_ENCORE/ROG-RAMPAGE-VI-EXTREME-ENCORE-ASUS-0702.zip

Best regards!

wrong!

hm..??

@xtremefunky - What is your CPU model? You want microcode removed, correct?

@Dalek_Mechanic - Please link me to your stock BIOS download page (not the BIOS direct link, but the page you download it from)
And you want both 806EA and 806E9 downgraded to Rev B4, correct?

@xtremefunky - Thanks! Here you go, I'm sure you already know, but in case not, you need to now disable windows from loading it's own microcode if you are using Win8-10
50654 >> Removed + Fix FIT post removal - Flash via USB Flashback ONLY, this is stock BIOS edited!!

@xtremefunky - Sorry to hear! Maybe your board needs "All microcodes" removed? I will check the working one, and if it has all removed, I will do the same instead
* Edit, I checked that 0603 BIOS, and both have same exact microcodes in both volumes (ie none removed), but some are updated 50655, 50656, 50657 - and on 50654 it is downgraded to an older version only.


Is that what you want, older microcode?? I can make you two, one with older microcode, and one with none, but some boards cannot boot at all and BIOS may be bricked and need programmer to recover if no manual BIOS switches, when all microcodes are removed.

Hello,
Stock Bios can be found at
h77ps://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel...ook-pc/19753390
Unfortunately can only link to this page, so you have to go through several submenus to find older Versions.
Last version with undervolt working is 1.08.02 so I tried to replace microcode in 1.12.01 with that one.
Processor is a i7-8550u if that matters.

Is there no way to see where I have done it wrong? Or any speculation?

Kind regards and many thanks

@xtremefunky - Yes, you can see it's there in the comparison image above, so that mod BIOS is not what you thought, maybe your read the mod info wrong??
Dual BIOS is good, but only helpful in brick situation if you have physical BIOS switches, where you can switch from one BIOS to the other manually.
If you have that, and BIOS bricks, just switch to the other, boot to BIOS then enter EZ Flash area, select BIOS to flash, then toss the switch back to the bricked BIOS and flash the BIOS
Here is 0702 BIOS with 50654 downgraded to the same version as the BIOS you linked, and a copy with no microcodes at all for any CPU's

@Dalek_Mechanic - Do you have a flash programmer, like CH341A or similar? If not, how do you think you can flash in mod BIOS, do you know a known working method for your model? Stock flash tool will not work.
HP is a major pain to mod, often you cannot due to auto BIOS recovery (sure start) on many models. Generally though, updating microcode may be OK, IF you have a method to flash in the mod BIOS.
I did not check your BIOS, no need to, I only need to look at those images to see it's not done correctly (and probably other issues with the mod too)
You only changed microcodes in one volume, there is two, and you probably need to fix FIT table after edit of microcodes too, plus ensure other bad things don't happen during the edit as well, so it's not a simple thing to do.
Please do below, send me file from #1 and tell me what error you get at #2

@xtremefunky - You're welcome! Yes, some systems, not sure if it's limited to brand or BIOS, or just chipset, cannot boot with no microcodes installed, while others can.
I know X99 and Z490 can, maybe Z390 too, not sure, but many others cannot. You'd have to google around about this for your board and see.
Ohh yeah, that is quite a bit of difference in the scores, especially when every point counts sometimes!!
Thank you, I will send you a PM shortly

Awesome, you snagged up the highest score via water!! How can you tell, limit scores to water? Why don't they give you WR for water, or is that only overall?
Wow, C15 at 4.2Ghz memory!! Very nice

I don't know how to do what you mentioned, to get to see the other 18C scores vs yours.
Can you direct link to that, or it wont work? Ohh, I see your attached image of it now, sorry, I missed that at first
Wow, 20WR, that's awesome!! Good work!

Yes, I can do same mod on that BIOS too, just downgrade 50654 (ie for same CPU model), correct?
If yes, I will do tonight when I get back, just about to leave right now.
