@DeathBringer - do you think copy/paste entire modules from MSI board to Asrock board would work? Or that's too much different between brands, that is a lot of modules. If only I had Broadwell CPU, that would make this much easier since I could test myself, quick and no worries about killing someone's board.

I thought not! What did you mean to copy then? Is any of that done in assembly, or hex only after module extraction?

@JanCerny since you are the only one here with Broadwell CPU, do you have flash programmer? If not, then it's waste of time for me to mod all that, even once I figure out what to edit, without programmer it will be too risky for you to test.

@Lost_N_BIOS
You can try to copy one by one. But you need a hardware programmer to restore.

Yes, I knew programmer would be necessary! Wish I could test myself, that would be much better/easier/quicker.

Yes, I have Chinese programmer TL866CS.

I looked back, sorry I must have missed you saying that already! I am not surprised crossflash/chip-swap failed, that's not even close to same

Since you have programmer, then we can play. Let me know when your CPU arrives, in meantime I will start looking at this BIOS stuff DeathBringer mentioned.

Do you want full BIOS dump from both boards?

Both boards? Do you have the MSI H81M-ECO too? If so, yes dump from both would be great.

Dump from both boards:
- ASRock H81 Pro BTC R2.0
- ASRock H97 Anniversary

@Lost_N_BIOS @DeathBringer Xeon has arrived. If you require any further information, let me know.

BTW: Found a MSI board with ME 9.1.3. This board has 4th and 5th gen support on product page. And even the Microde 40671 is installed in bios. Bingo!

Checking into this for you now!

@DeathBringer - H81 BIOS missing these two modules

SAPolicyinitpei - FD236AE7-0791-48C4-B29E-29BDEEE1A822
SMBusMemoryDown - F6A59595-BB9F-415B-A7F3-DC7C09387BE6

Do you think it's OK to proceed without those, editing all other modules (13 vs 11 without these two) or could they possibly be under another name? I searched with UEFITool via Unicode/non-uni and GUID, nothing for either.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating.
